A pallet assembly including a plurality of trays separated by supports is provided. Each of the supports includes a rectangular portion and a wing portion. The wing portion is formed from two layers of materials connected together by a locking tab or other suitable means. The wing portion can include a first portion and a second portion at an angle with respect to the first portion. A tab can be used to facilitate placing the first portion of the wing at the angle with respect to the second portion of the wing.

A system for protecting temperature sensitive products. The system comprises a cover that fits over a product. The cover has a first component, a second component, and a closure system. The first component covers the top of the product and at least a portion of a first side of the product, and the second component covers at least a portion of the other sides of the product. The closure system closes openings between the first component and the second component and tightens the cover around the product. The cover is removable from the product by releasing the closure system and pulling the second component of the cover in a horizontal or downward direction away from the first side of the product.

The present invention provides a pallet frame of a unitary body of a molded pulp material having a first surface, a second surface opposed to the first surface, and a generally polygonal shaped peripheral wall. The peripheral wall has four corners, and a first pair of legs and a second pair of legs extending away from the first surface. The first pair of legs being positioned at two corners of the four corners, and the second pair of legs being positioned at another two corners of the four corners. The first pair of legs having a first end surface with a centrally disposed upstanding boss. The second pair of legs having a second end surface with a centrally disposed detent dimensioned to receive a boss when a pair of like pallet frames are in a deployed condition.

Disclosed are systems, apparatus and methods for transporting a palletized stack of bottles or other similar bulk-produced containers using a unique pallet base and a unique set of side panels that may be engaged with the base and with each other in order to protect the stacks of bottles on the pallet base during shipping and transport. Embodiments of the invention dampen vibrations, protect the bottles from exterior contaminants, and allow the bottles to be viewed from the outside. Embodiments of the invention also provide reusable pallet systems that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and ship back for reuse.

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 a first coupling and a bottom wall; a closure element including a second coupling; 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.

A milk crate stabilizer system is described. The stabilizer system may include at least one row of milk crates, each milk crate comprising a floor, four sidewalls extending from the floor and defining an interior, and an open top, and a milk crate stabilizer comprising a plate located above the at least one row of milk crates, and a plurality of groups of four pegs extending downwardly from the plate. The pegs may contact the sidewalls of adjacent milk crates and removably join the adjacent milk crates. The bottoms of the pegs may be narrower than the tops of the pegs to facilitate placement into the corners of the milk crates.

An apparatus and method for storing and transporting a load (12) of goods, having been treated or fumigated for insects. The apparatus comprises a bag (10) and a sealing means (14) that seals bag once load (12) is inserted. All or a portion of bag 10 is made with netting, screen, or other porous material (13) that keep insects out of bag (10) but allow for sufficient ventilation of load (12). Bag (10) may be a single piece or multiple pieces and the location of porous material (13) on bag (10) may vary depending on the type of goods contained in load (12). The apparatus may also contain securement means (24) that help hold load (12) in place. The method comprises loading, sealing, transporting, and unloading goods using the described apparatus.

A fluid container in the form of a can having a neck defining an opening, and fastened in a water-tight manner to the neck a valve element with a valve cup supporting a hollow stem movable against an elastic element between a first stable closing position and a second unstable position for delivering fluid through a cavity in the stem, the cavity communicating with the interior of the can in a dispensing position, the can being fixed to a support base of the container, the base comprising a support surface with a recess defined by a first centering surface to center the container on a valve cup of an identical container, on top of which the container may be placed, a second support surface for supporting the container on the valve cup, and a third recessed surface to house the stem of an aerosol valve of the further container.

The present invention relates to the field of the transportation and storage of goods and to a transport and storage system and, in particular, a system for the transportation and storage of goods such as palletized goods and self-standing goods. The present invention seeks to provide a system that can enable goods to be securely and reliably horizontally, vertically and offset stacked, despite different sizes of goods and support members therefor, such as pallets, whereby wasted volumes arising from the presence of irregular loads, pallets or pallets of different levels or different load ratings in storage and transport can be minimized.

A load cap (10) comprises a central portion (12) having an edge (14), and a rim arrangement (16) on the edge. The rim arrangement comprises a plurality of corrugations (20) extending substantially parallel to the edge.
