A measuring system associable with a group of products wrappable with a plastic film to form a palletized load. The system includes a supporting frame provided with a supporting plane for the group, first and second detecting modules housed inside the supporting frame and provided with first and second sensor units to detect and measure first and second physical quantities acting on the palletized load when it is moved and/or transported, a processing module having first and second computing units and first and second memory units positioned on the supporting plane, inserted among the products and having dimensions and weight comparable to that of one of the products. The first and second computing units, first and second memory units and first and second detecting modules form first and second measurement chains of the first and second physical quantities.

A method, apparatus and program product may determine load stability for a load to be wrapped based upon sensing the response or reaction of the load to a disturbance applied to the load, e.g., through intentionally moving, shaking, tilting, pushing, impacting or otherwise applying an input force to the load and sensing the response using one or more sensors. The sensed response may then be used to determine a load stability parameter that may be used in the control of a load wrapping apparatus when wrapping the load.

A basket-type carrier formed from a single blank of foldable sheet material and method for forming is disclosed. The carrier has a pair of handle panels, a pair of bottom panels, a pair of bottom reinforcement panels, a front panel, a back panel, side panels, side reinforcement panels, side flaps, interior partition panels, and interior partition attachment flaps. The carrier is collapsed and expanded by means of an umbrella-type mechanism wherein side flaps connected to side panels and to interior partition panels slide up and down between the handle panels. This positions front, back, side, and bottom panels in either the collapsed position with these panels folded against the handle panels, flattening the carrier for storage, or in the expanded position with these panels pulled away from the handle panels, expanding the carrier to receive articles.

A shock-absorbing structure includes an underlay placed on a base, and a cushioning member disposed on the underlay. The underlay includes at least one positioning portion that includes a slope raised in a position inclined with respect to another area of the positioning portion and fixes the cushioning member in position, and a support portion that supports the slope in an obliquely raised position. The cushioning member includes at least one hollow that receives the positioning portion.

A load unit (700) of material for forming a structural component made from layers of a fiber reinforced material, the load unit (700) comprising a pallet (704) and a single layer of rolls of fiber reinforced material (702).

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to apparatus and methods for applying reusable wrapping device on goods to be transported on a transportation carrier, such as a pallet. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a cart and wrapping device holder assembly for applying reusable pallet wrapping devices over palletized materials.

A can retaining apparatus and advertising platform comprising a strip with an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter edge. The strip is preferably rectangular shaped and can be made of various materials including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PET G), plastic, metal, wood, rubber, fabric, vinyl, cardboard or a composite. Located on the strip is at least one, and preferably multiple retaining members, configured as an arrow structure within an oval opening, and onto which a can is secured and captively held. Also, on the strip is at least one, and preferably multiple, advertising sections. Each advertising section is configured to display product or promotional information from a company or organization. The advertising sections are either printed on, or are a substrate attached by attachment means, such as adhesive. A scannable image on the strip allows information to be stored and transferred to a person using the apparatus and platform.

The disclosure relates to a transportation unit for transporting a plurality of coils. This transportation unit provides an easy transportation and an easy to handle system wherein the respective load of coils which can be shipped can be increased. The transportation unit comprises a palette, and a plurality of bags stacked in layers on the palette, wherein each of the bags contains a plurality of coils arranged in a first layer such that centers of the coils in the first layer are arranged parallel with respect to each other such that an axial direction of the center of each coil in the first layer is approximately perpendicular to an extension direction of the palette. Further the disclosure relates to an assembly comprising a plurality of transport units.

A system for compensating for atmospheric pressure changes for high-altitude transport of packages containing powdered and/or granular material may include: one or more packages including a one-way degassing valve configured to flow gaseous substances produced by the powdered and/or granular material outside the one or more packages. Each package may include: a casing; and a containment element configured to wrap the casing. The casing may include: a main body made of expandable material; a capping device associated with the main body; and an insertion opening in the main body. The capping device may include: a tubular sleeve including first coupling means and a bottom wall; a closure element including second coupling means; and first and second one-way valves associated with the bottom wall. The first one-way valve can be configured to allow insertion of gases. The second one-way valve can be configured to allow outflow of gases.
