A cover for covering goods supported on a base platform such as a pallet. The cover has an upper panel and a plurality of side panels to define an enclosure surrounded by said plurality of side panels. Each side panel is formed from a sheet material and comprises a reinforcing mesh extending at least partially over the sheet material.

The present disclosure relates to roofing shingles and palleted pluralities thereof that have a reduced susceptibility to damage during shipment.

A pipe frame, a pipe crate and methods of use thereof for holding a plurality of pipes together for storing, handling and transport are disclosed herein. In one form, there is provided a pipe frame including: at least two frame members connectable together to form the pipe frame; at least one transverse leg formation operatively associated with an end of a first frame member; at least one receiving opening defined at an end of a second frame member and configured to at least partially receive the at least one transverse leg formation for attachment and orientation of the first frame member relative to the second frame member; a locking catch operatively associated with the receiving opening; and a locking element operatively associated with the transverse leg formation and releasably connectable to the locking catch for locking the first frame relative to the second frame.

A method for packaging a pack commodity comprises: providing a support element having an upper side, a lower side and side surfaces; placing a first packaging material sheet on the upper side; arranging the pack commodity on the first packaging material sheet such that a portion of the first packaging material sheet lies between the support element and the pack commodity and that with parts of the first packaging material sheet protruding beyond the pack commodity; placing a second packaging material sheet on an upper side of the pack commodity such that parts of the second packaging material sheet protrude beyond the pack commodity; folding the protruding parts so that they overlap along an overlapping portion on the side surfaces of the support element; applying a peripheral angular contact-pressure device laterally to the overlapping portion and to the upper side of the second packaging material sheet; and bracing the angular contact-pressure device by applying tension straps to generate a contact pressure in the overlapping portion.

The present disclosure relates to roofing shingles and palleted pluralities thereof that have a reduced susceptibility to damage during shipment.

A stretch wrapping apparatus, unwrapping apparatus, system, and/or method suitable for use in recycling and/or reuse applications associated with palletized loads that are wrapped with stretch film. In recycling applications, various unwrapping apparatus designs may be utilized to collect stretch film spirally wrapped around a load, generally by unwrapping the stretch film over the course of multiple revolutions. In reuse applications, various stretch wrapping apparatus designs may be used to wrap stretch film around a load in a manner that conditions the stretch film for reusability, while various unwrapping apparatus designs may be utilized to collect the stretch film from a load into a roll form that is suitable for use in wrapping other loads.

A container pallet (10) is provided which includes a lattice of walled cells (12) for supporting a plurality of tessellatable containers in a close packed arrangement. Each walled cell (12) has a profile of a polygon that is tessellatable with itself or one or more other polygons and each walled cell (12) comprises a lower side wall (16). An upper side wall (14) may be provided in each walled cell and inset from the lower side wall, and/or a retaining lip may be provided around some or all of the periphery the container pallet. The container pallet may be modular.
