A customisable, modular storage system is described where goods are stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. The stacks are contained within towers formed of stacks of bin receiving units. A grid network of tracks is provided on the top of the bin receiving units upon which load handling devices run. The load handling 30 devices take containers from the stacks and deposit them at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out.

A crane mat stand device comprises a base component with integrated moveable support components. The crane mat stand device organizes and stores a plurality of crane mats, minimizes damage to the load or forklift machine, and maximizes safety during transport.

A top cap guard is provided. The top cap guard includes a sheet having opposed first edges and opposed second edges and defining first and second apertures along each of the first edges and each of the second edges, respectively, and first and second rigid members respectively disposable along one of the first and second edges, respectively. The top cap guard further includes first and second flaps. The first flaps are respectively attached to one of the first edges. Each first flap is configured to wrap around the corresponding first rigid member and includes first tongues respectively securable in corresponding ones of the first apertures. The second flaps are respectively attached to one of the second edges. Each second flap is configured to wrap around the corresponding second rigid member and includes second tongues respectively securable in corresponding ones of the second apertures.

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 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.

Embodiments of this disclosure include a rigid tray container and methods and equipment for using the rigid tray container in batched process operations. In one embodiment, a mass container is sized and dimensioned to receive one or several rigid tray containers. In other embodiments, equipment is configured to lid/unlid, secure, stack, load/unload, and buffer rigid tray containers. In other embodiments, equipment is configured to stack and stage mass containers. In some embodiments, methods are provided for batch processing items.

The present invention discloses a folding shelf for placing a box with a built-in liquid crystal panel in multiple layers, the folding shelf including: a first frame assembly, the first frame assembly including a rectangular first frame assembly body and four first support columns erected at a lower end of the first frame assembly body, the first frame assembly body comprising two first fixing beams and two first connecting beams disposed between the two first fixed beams, wherein the first support column comprises a first cylinder and a second cylinder, the first cylinder is erected at an upper end of the second cylinder, an upper end of the first cylinder is folding connected to a lower end of the first fixed beam, a lower end of the first cylinder is folding connected to the upper end of the second cylinder.

A reconfigurable pallet/dolly platform includes a top deck that includes a product support surface and an opposing underside. The underside includes pallet support leg attachment areas for receiving pallet support legs when configured as a pallet, and dolly wheel attachment areas for receiving dolly wheels when configured as a dolly. The product support surface includes pallet support leg receiving areas aligned with the pallet support leg attachment areas and configured to engage the pallet support legs from an identical platform stacked thereon when configured as a pallet. The product support surface also includes dolly wheel receiving areas aligned with the dolly wheel wells and configured to engage the dolly wheels from an identical platform stacked thereon when configured as a dolly. Each dolly wheel receiving area partially overlaps with one of the pallet support leg receiving areas.

A pallet includes a top deck having a rectangular shape, a bottom deck having a rectangular shape, and spaced apart corner support blocks and spaced apart intermediate support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks and forming a gap therebetween for receiving a lifting member. Centerline markings are carried by at least one of the top deck, the bottom deck, and the corner and intermediate support blocks so as to provide a visual aid to an operator of the lifting member.
