Methods and systems for controlling movement of an e-pallet includes one or more sensors configured to obtain sensor data as to a user of the e-pallet, a second e-pallet, or both; and a processor coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to at least facilitate: determining, using the sensor data, a relative position of the user, the second e-pallet or both, with respect to the e-pallet; determining, using the sensor data, a relative orientation of the user, the second e-pallet or both, with respect to the e-pallet; and taking a control action for the e-pallet, in accordance with instructions provided by the processor, based on both the relative position and the relative orientation.

A height-adjustable shock pallet includes a lower deck and an upper deck. A central portion of the upper deck is sized to receive a rack-mounted information handling system (IHS) for shipping. Air bags attached between the lower and upper decks are selectively inflatable to protect the rack-mounted IHS during transport and deflatable to position the upper deck proximate to the lower deck for unloading. A controller can detect a tilt of the upper deck and differentially inflate or deflate respective subsets of the air bags to rebalance the upper deck. The controller maintains the rack-mounted IHS horizontal to prevent tipping during transport. Integral or attachable caster wheels can enable repositioning of the height-adjustable shock pallet with the air bags deflated.

Disclosed is a system for freezing, storing, transporting, and thawing biopharmaceutical product, comprising a stationary equipment and one or more movable pallets, each pallet configured to carry one or more container units, each containing biopharmaceutical product, the stationary equipment comprising a gas circulating unit configured to cause a circulation of cold gas and/or warm gas, from a pull inlet toward a blow outlet, wherein there is provided at least a first side plenum having one or more gas conveying channel therein, configured to be fluidly coupled to the blow outlet of the gas circulating unit, the first side plenum having a plurality of outlet ports directed toward an interior volume of the pallet, wherein the gas circulates substantially in a horizontal direction in the interior volume of the pallet, and wherein a shaking arrangement is provided.

The A transfer tray includes a fixed tray; a movable tray which can move relative to the fixed tray; several anti-shake actuators disposed on the fixed tray; a shake detection device disposed on the movable tray or the fixed tray; and a control device. The shake detection device is configured to detect the shake information of the movable tray or the fixed tray. The control device is configured to control several anti-shake actuators to drive the movable tray to move in a direction opposite to the shaking direction based on the shake information of the movable tray or the fixed tray.

A cargo slide includes a base member, a plurality of adjustable rope members, a plurality of hook members, a plurality of accessory leg members, and a plurality of elevated members. The plurality of adjustable rope members are coupled to a plurality of attachment holes formed in the base member, such that the base member is configured to be pulled from a truck bed toward a tailgate via the plurality of adjustable rope members. The plurality of hook members are connected to the plurality of adjustable rope members, such that the cargo slide is configured to be secured in place in the truck bed when the plurality of rope members are attached to the truck bed via the plurality of hook members. The plurality of elevated members are configured to be stacked on the base member via the plurality of accessory leg members.

An apparatus includes a clamp assembly having a clamping zone configured to circumscribe, at least in part, a pallet load received, at least in part, in the clamping zone. The apparatus also includes a pallet receiving assembly having a pallet-receiving zone configured to receive, at least in part, a pallet supporting the pallet load, and, the pallet-receiving zone having a vertical height dimensioned marginally higher than the vertical height of the pallet.

To provide a pallet that makes it possible to prevent load shifting in a case where the pallet inclines. A pallet includes: an upper plate on which a load is to be placed; a lower frame disposed so as to face the upper plate; at least three force sensors disposed on a lower surface of the upper plate or an upper surface of the lower frame; at least three raising and lowering mechanisms that are disposed between the upper plate and the lower frame via the at least three force sensors and that are able to raise and lower the upper plate with respect to the lower frame; and a controller configured to perform control to drive the at least three raising and lowering mechanisms on the basis of output signals from the at least three force sensors.
