A re-usable crate system has a frame removably coupled to a pallet and extending above the pallet to form a crate to receive cargo over the pallet and at least partially between the frame. The frame has corner brackets at each corner of the pallet. Each corner bracket comprises a bottom plate proximate a bottom of the pallet, a top plate proximate a top of the pallet, and a pair of contiguous side walls extending between the top and bottom plates. The pair of side walls adjoin one another and forms a box with a pair of contiguous side openings opposite the pair of contiguous side walls. Each corner bracket has a pocket to receive a respective corner of the pallet.

A pallet comprising: (a) a base tray having one or more walls extending upward from the tray to create a perimeter around a central portion of the base tray; (b) an insert disposed on the central portion of the tray within the perimeter of the base tray, the insert being recessed from a terminal edge of the one or more walls; (c) a post secured within the perimeter of the tray and extend away from the base tray; and (d) a support assembly secured to the insert and positioned along the central portion of the base tray free of contact with the one or more walls, wherein the support includes a pair of support panels that are interconnected and secured to the insert free of an adhesive.

An inventory tracking system includes a tracking device coupled to a transport structure that is designed to carry items. The tracking device includes a processor as well as several modules operatively connected to the processor for determining the location of the transport structure. The tracking device determines location using a short-range communication module when the tracking device is within a storage facility. When outside of the storage facility, the tracking device determines a location of the transport structure using a satellite navigation module. A mobile communication module is used to determine the location of the transport structure if neither the short-range communication module nor the satellite navigation module is successful.

A planter box configured for housing plantings is disclosed. The pallet box assembly includes a pallet base, two side panels, a front panel, and a rear panel, which are collapsible and reusable. Pallet base has tenon joint parts with locking mechanisms that extend out. Pallet base has an opening extending therethrough for ease of handling by pallet jack or hand truck. The side panels include grooves. Front and rear panels include tenon joint part with locking mechanism. The side panels are identical and interchangeable, the front panel is identical and interchangeable with the rear panel. Each locking mechanism includes a winged bolt threadedly inserted and engaged into the tenon joint part, and a wing which is rotated by about 45 to 135 degrees to engageably and securely attach the corresponding tenon joint part in the corresponding groove, so that the pallet box assembly is securely installed.

Disclosed is a multi-part functional gauge. A platform or single package, such as a shipping stand for shipping parts can incorporate the multi-part functional gauge. The shipping stand can also include mounts that are also a functional gauge for checking the specifications of the part. A method of manufacture which includes employing a shipping stand having multiple mounts for multiple parts, the multiple parts mounted to the shipping stand so that the first part needed in the manufacturing process can be removed from the shipping stand without having to remove the other parts attached to the shipping stand. A first part is mounted to a first set of attachment points and a second part is mounted or attached to a second set of attachment points. The first part corresponds to the first part needed in an assembly process.

An apparatus and method for packaging and transportation of a preformed wrapping sheet is disclosed and claimed herein. One implementation of the technology as disclosed herein includes a method and apparatus for packaging and transportation of preformed wrapping sheets including Pre-Formed Plant Covers commonly referred to as a Pot Cover involving clear tubing constructed of a pliable material, including clear plastic tubing or other pliable material, and transportation storage racks assembled from substantially rigid pallets, including plastic pallets or other substantially rigid material, and corner boards, commonly known as beads.

A casted corner and bottom for a multi-purpose carrier having top, bottom, and vertical rails includes (a) a casted corner with a top face and at least three hollow faces with openings for mounting with the top and vertical rails from three directions; (b) a padeye arranged diagonally on the top face, the padeye provided with an aperture allowing the multi-purpose carrier to be craned or lifted; and (c) a casted bottom with at least three openings for mounting with the bottom and vertical rails or a transport case. The bottom face of the casted bottom is hollow with a diagonally arranged slot. The casted corner and casted bottom are mounted respectively onto the top and bottom corners of the multi-purpose carrier and/or transport case, which are securely liftable and stackable with the padeye of the casted corner inserted into the slot of the casted bottom.

Provided is a prefabricated pallet including a vertical member having a first coupling part formed in a longitudinal direction in which first side holding plates are formed on an upper or lower surface of the vertical member so as to be directed toward the center thereof and provide a first insertion space and a first holding space; a horizontal member having a second coupling part formed in a longitudinal direction in which second side holding plates are formed on a lower surface of the horizontal member so as to be directed toward the center thereof and provide a second insertion space and a second holding space; and a bracket that includes upper and lower insertion plates inserted into the first insertion space and the second insertion space and column plates inserted into the first holding space and the second holding space and formed between the upper and lower insertion plates.

A corrugated paperboard corner shroud comprising a first side and a second side, each side having an outer layer, a middle layer, and an inner layer, wherein the first side and the second side are foldably coupled together along one side, and the middle layers are fastened to their respective inner and outer layers. A blank for forming a corner shroud, the blank comprising a flat, rectangular piece of corrugated paperboard and having a first, second, third and fourth edge, an inner surface having at least four adhesive sections thereon, an outer surface, and a first series of scorelines extending along the blank from the first edge to the second edge. A method of making the corner shroud. A box having the corner shroud.
