A plastic tote style container having a first handle connected to an upper portion of a first end wall and a second handle connected to an upper portion of a second side wall is provided. The first and second handles are sized and positioned to form openings between the handles and the end walls that can accept a single tine of a fork truck or other similar device. This allows for carrying heavier loads in the tote style container.

A continuously extruded unitary blank (CUBE) has a top, a bottom, two sides and at least one webbing there between parallel to the two sides. The CUBE has a front cut end and a rear cut end which define two open face channels to accommodate the forks of a fork lift and pallet jack. Two spaces are manufactured in the two sides and in the at least one webbing to accept a lateral insertion and a lateral removal of the forks. Chamfers are manufactured in edges of the cutouts to facilitate the insertion and the removal of the forks from the pallet. Chamfers are also manufactured in the front and rear cut ends to facilitate accommodation of the forks. Voids are manufactured in the bottom to allow pallet jack wheels to pass into the pallet and rest on a surface for a lifting of the pallet from the surface.

Disclosed is a container cover (1) for use in cooperation with a container (100), wherein the container (100) comprises a bottom (4) and side plates (2), the container cover (1) has four corners (10), each of which is provided with a position limiting protrusion (11), and the position limiting protrusion (11) protrudes from an upper surface of the container cover (1) integrally; and at least one position limiting protrusion (11) is provided with a locking means (3), which is used to lock the container cover (1) and the container (100). The structure provides the locking means of the cover and a container body on a stacking limiting structure without occupying container space therebelow, and meanwhile, simple operation and good structural strength are achieved.

A modular pallet for use in supporting and transporting goods. The modular pallet comprises a plurality of hollow legs integral to an inner side of the sidewall and a plurality of interlocking means integral to an outer side of the sidewall for coupling other modular pallets laterally, wherein each of the hollow legs comprises a top opening aligned with the top surface of the pallet and a bottom opening further away from the bottom surface of the pallet, and a top groove along a peripheral edge of the top opening and a bottom groove along a circumference of the hollow leg adjacent to the bottom surface. A multilayer support structure comprises at least two layers of the modular pallets separated by a plurality of hollow support columns for being positioned under the ground to support a hardscape/softscape disposed thereon while enable for tree roots growth, water drainage and storage of utilities.

The present invention relates to a plastic tank for the storage and transport of bulk materials, such as solids, liquids or semi-liquids, wherein said tank comprises a main body (1) with tapered sidewalls and a built-in pallet base (18) with four legs, a main rectangular lid (2), a secondary round lid (3) having a vent cap with a gas valve (4) and a bottom discharge opening (17). Said tanks are made of food grade HDPE of a special composition molded in one-piece using an injection molding process, and are nestable, when empty for shipment purposes and stackable, when full for storage purposes.

A station (2) for trays filled with rod-like articles (R), in a tobacco industry apparatus, provided with a receiving part (2A) to receive filled trays (3, 13); and a storage and conveying unit (2C) containing the filled trays (3, 13), provided with a conveyor (4) to convey the filled trays (3, 13) and a tray separation mechanism (4A) to separate the first tray (3, 13) from other trays (3, 13) collected on bearing elements (4D) of the conveyor (4), whereas the tray separation mechanism (4A) is provided with lifting elements (51, 51, 63, 63) adapted to lift the trays (3, 13) from the bearing elements (4D) of the conveyor (4); characterised in that further the station (2) is provided with lateral belts (56, 56) adapted to support the sidewalls (3L, 3R, 13L, 13R) of the tray (3, 13), whereas the lateral belts (56, 56) are adapted to perform a movement corresponding to the movement of the lifting elements (51, 51, 63, 63) when lifting the trays (3, 13) from the bearing elements (4D) and putting the trays (3, 13) on the bearing elements (4D). The object of the application is also an apparatus for emptying of a four-wall or five-wall tray filled with the rod-like articles.
