Element for the storage, handling and transport of planar or primarily planar objects (33), that has an approximately rectangular shape with a length (L) and width (B) in the horizontal plane, that defines on its top two bearing surfaces (20) sloping inwards and two approximately perpendicular support surfaces (21) standing on them, whereby the support surfaces (21) together also define a ridge (23) that extends over the length (L) of the element (27, 29), the ridge (23) is in such a position that the two bearing surfaces (20) are of different sizes.
