A foldable container, comprising a base and two pairs of side plates, and the side plates are connected to the base via a hinge structure. A plurality of protruding portions are disposed below the side plates, and a polarity of grooves matching the protruding portions are disposed on the base. The hinge structure is disposed in at least one of the protruding portions and at least one of grooves. At least one of the protruding portions is further provided with a continuous curved surface profile, and at least one of the grooves is further provided with at least one matching surface, or at least one of the grooves is provided with a continuous curved surface profile, and at least one of the protruding portions is provided with a matching surface. The matching surface matches the continuous curved surface profile, and when the side plate changes from a folded state to the open state, the continuous curved surface profile remain contacting with the matching surface. The foldable container can address the problems of interference and collision in a process of unordered rotation of hinged side plates.

A pallet tracking system for tracking a plurality of uniquely identified pallets is provided. The pallet tracking system includes a non-transitory storage device and a tracking circuit. The non-transitory storage device is configured to maintain a pallet database of data concerning the pallets. The data concerning each pallet is accessible by the unique identifier of the pallet and includes a material composition of the pallet. The tracking circuit is configured to receive the unique identifier of one of the pallets from the one of the pallets using a scanning device, retrieve the material composition of the one of the pallets from the pallet database using the received unique identifier, and return the retrieved material composition in response to a request. A pallet sharing system for sharing the pallets with a plurality of custodians using this pallet tracking system is also provided.

A molded container assembly including a pallet, a molded container, and a plurality of connection systems. The pallet supports the molded container thereon and includes stacking alignment structure for stacking the pallet on another molded container assembly. The molded container includes a tank portion, several leg supports, and several buttresses. The tank portion includes several curved sidewalls and a fill opening. The leg supports include lower sections and upper sections that extend above the fill opening for spacing a pallet stacked on top of the molded container above the fill opening. The upper sections include pallet engaging structure for engaging pallets of at least two different types. The buttresses extend between the tank portion and the leg supports. The connection systems include washers that allow for shrinkage and expansion between the molded container and the pallet in a number of directions.

Trackable nylon pallets and collapsible containers constructed from injection molded, interlocking top and bottom pallet portions having attached, hinged collapsible container sides affixed to the pallet top side. Collapsible side locking assemblies and a container cover provide stability to container side when they are orthogonally disposed to the pallet top side. The cover also provides pallet and collapsible container stacking stability when the collapsed sides are folded inwards and resting on the pallet top side. Each pallet and collapsible container provide real time tracking, identification, and monitoring capabilities from at least one removable communication/sensor box releasably secured between conjoined top and bottom pallet portions. Each trackable pallet and collapsible container provide equipment entry passages between top and bottom portions from all four pallet sides.
