A shipping crate is provided having multiple walls. In each wall, a first wall layer has sides and a first thickness and a second wall layer has sides extending past each of the sides of the first wall by the first thickness. The crate also has a back panel having a first back panel layer and at least a partial second back panel layer. The first back panel layer has sides and a thickness substantially similar to the first thickness and the second back panel layer extends past each of the sides of the first back panel layer by the first thickness. When assembled, the first wall layers of each of the walls combine to form a post and lintel assembly. The second wall layers of each of the plurality of walls combine to form a second post and lintel assembly distinct from the first post and lintel assembly.

An interlocking pallet rack foot plate preferably includes an attachment flange, a bottom flange and an offset junction. The bottom flange extends from one end of the offset junction flange. The attachment flange extends perpendicular from an opposing end of the offset junction, relative to the bottom flange. At least one pillar hole is formed through the attachment flange. At least one floor hole is formed through an end of the bottom flange. A first plurality of interlocking projections are formed on one edge of the bottom flange and a second plurality of interlocking projections are formed on an opposing edge of the bottom flange. Each projection includes a peak and a valley. Thus, two adjacent interlocking pallet rack foot plates will interlock. The alignment of adjacent bottom plates allows a plurality of vertical pillars of the plurality of pallet racks to contact each other when bundled.

A packaging system for an appliance is provided. The packaging system includes a base pad for supporting an appliance. In preferred embodiments, the system includes pockets for supporting corner posts, and/or corner supports for aiding in the placement and stability of the appliance for use in packaging, stacking, and transporting the appliance.

The Pallet Loading Height Limiter is a very simple, and yet effective, non-powered, adjustable device for helping warehouse workers keep a shipping pallet load within safe and proper limits for height (and, consequentially, also weight). The device rolls on locking casters for easy use and storage. The device's frame has reinforcing brackets that minimize damage from passing forklifts, etc. The device's design makes it easy to repair if it is ever damaged. Because there is no globally-accepted standard for pallet sizes, this device may be made in various sizes (usually determined by country of origin of the pallet). That said, the North American pallet size (40 by 48) is the standard used for this application. This device works equally well with stringer- or block-type pallets. Using this device should help minimize material-handling injuries to workers that handle loaded pallets.

The invention relates to an element (1) to be arranged in a corner of a parallelepipedic cage-like structure where a bottom or a top plane of the structure meets two walls of the structure extending perpendicularly to this plane and to each other. The element (1) comprises a bottom portion (2), outer wall portions (6, 7), inner wall portions (9, 10) and wall members (16, 17) so as to receive components of said structure in the form of first and second board-like members, such as wooden planks, therebetween with wide sides of these board-like members bearing on each other. The inner wall portions (9, 10) each comprises a spring member (90, 100) configured to bear onto and urge a said second board-like member to press a said first board-like member against an outer wall portion (6, 7), so as to clamp these board-like members between a couple of inner (9, 10) and outer (6, 7) wall portions. The invention also relates to a cage-like structure provided with such elements (1) at said corners thereof.

Modular pallet system for transporting bulky and fragile goods in a multi-story constellation, the system consists of the modules basic-pallet, vertical-pillars, longitudinal-reinforce-elements and transversal-reinforce-elements. The basic-pallet provides the surface for placing the cargo and for lashing via integrated tie-down points. Further junction points at the edges of the basic-pallet are for the connection with the vertical-pillars and through these with the reinforce elements, necessary to provide the assembly's stability, enabling stack ability with additional basic-pallets on top.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a bin riser positionable between different types of shipping bins to enable these shipping bins to stably stack atop one another in a way that inhibits an adjacent stack of shipping bins from toppling over during transit.

The present invention provides a guiding rail which can be used in storing and transporting devices provided with dunnage, which can be moved along the guiding rails. In a first aspect, the present invention discloses guiding rails (1) with a recess which is at least partially provided with an intermediate material. Said intermediate material can be in the form of a polymer insert (2) or in the form of a coating added during a painting and/or anodization process. The intermediate material allows to easily manipulate the flexible dunnage (9) along the guiding rails by pulling or pushing the dunnage, even when the force is applied centrally on the dunnage. Said insert can be divided in several components along a transversal line (8), allowing easy installation. In a second aspect, the present invention presents a device for storing and transporting goods, provided with guiding rails (1) with an intermediate material as described above.

A device for adapting the spacing between two board-type bearing elements for the vertical storage of barrels, comprising a number of supporting rods for insertion between the two bearing elements as well as structure for individually and infinitely variably adjusting the length of the supporting rods depending on the height of the barrels for locally varying the spacing between the two bearing elements. The structure for adjusting the length of each supporting rod comprise either two partial rods connected via a screw thread or a height-adjustment element, which is connected to one end of the supporting rod via a screw thread. Alternatively, the supporting rod can also be formed as a hydraulically or pneumatically length-adjustable telescopic rod.

A pallet cover and transport container includes a container body having a top end, a plurality of side walls, and an interior space. The bottom end of the container is open to the interior space and includes complementary dimensions to a shipping pallet. A first plurality of grooves are disposed along the bottom end of the side walls at locations complementary to the side channels of the shipping pallet. Connectors are disposed along the side walls to removably secure the container to a pallet. The connectors including a sliding shaft having an aperture for receiving a lock. A second plurality of grooves are disposed along the closed top end of the container body to allow the container to be used while inverted and transported by a forklift.
