Claim:
1. A collapsible superstructure for a pallet, wherein the superstructure comprises: four corner profiles arranged to, in a raised position of the superstructure, be placed standing upright, in a vertical direction (V), at each corner of said pallet, a first pair of opposite sides of the superstructure, which are structurally separate from and removably fastened to the four corner profiles, which sides are each provided with at least one inner hinge joint, standing upright in the vertical direction, and which sides are each connected to two corner profiles, a second pair, separate from said first pair, of opposite sides of the superstructure, which are structurally separate from and removably fastened to the four corner profiles and which sides are each connected to two corner profiles, wherein the corner profiles and the sides are produced from sheet metal; wherein, at each one of the corner profiles, at least one of the sides connected to the respective corner profile is connected via upright standing hinge joints for permitting collapse of the superstructure, wherein at least one of the sides in said first pair of opposite sides or in said second pair of opposite sides is provided with an openable portion in an opening, wherein the openable portion is designed such that displacement, in a horizontal direction (H) along said side provided with an opening, of a first abutment portion (A) relative to a second abutment portion (B), substantially diagonally opposite the first abutment portion, is counteracted, and such that displacement, in the horizontal direction along said side provided with an opening, of a third abutment portion (C) relative to a fourth abutment portion (D), substantially diagonally opposite the third abutment portion, is counteracted, wherein the first abutment portion and the third abutment portion are arranged to abut directly or indirectly on one of the corner profiles connected to the side provided with an opening, wherein the second abutment portion and the fourth abutment portion are arranged to abut directly or indirectly on the other of the corner profiles connected to the side provided with an opening, whereby a unidirectional angle setting of the two corner profiles, connected to the side provided with an opening, along said side provided with the opening, is counteracted, wherein the openable portion is composed of one or more sheet metal plates which are folded to form stiffening folds that extend substantially in the horizontal direction along said side provided with an opening, and wherein the stiffening folds in the horizontal direction extend across the whole of the openable portion.
