Adjustable pallets are provided which include a deck to support a product for shipping. The deck is selectively positionable in a raised position, as a horizontal support surface for the product, and in a lowered position, closer, at least in part, to a floor to facilitate loading the product on or unloading the product from the pallet. Further, the adjustable pallet includes a movable support, the movable support includes an inclined plane. The deck rests on the movable support in the raised position, and the deck traverses, at least in part, the inclined plane of the movable support when the deck is transitioned between the raised position and the lowered position.

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 safety catch for preventing a drop-down side door from separating from the sidewall of a shipping container in the case of a hinge failure and a shipping including at least one safety catch.

In one embodiment, a container includes a base and a lower wall section extending upward from the base. One or more upper wall sections are stacked on the first wall section. A pair of flanges may extend perpendicularly from outer edges of the lower wall section and the upper wall sections. An upper door may be hingeably connected to one of the flanges of the second wall section. A lower door may be hingeably connected to one of the flanges of the lower wall section.

A cage can be positioned around a medical balloon, such as an angioplasty balloon, to assist in a medical procedure. The cage can include a plurality of strips, each extending between a set of rings including first and second rings. As the balloon expands, the first and second rings move closer together and allow the strips to expand outward. The cage may have wedge dissectors on the strips.

A foldable tray comprises a baseplate, and a first side plate and a second side plate symmetrically arranged on the baseplate, both hingedly connected to the baseplate, and lie on the baseplate after being folded, and are height-adjustable side plates. An extension side plate that can be stretched out from the side plate is arranged at the top of the first and second side plates. The stretching height of the extension side plate is controlled by a prepositioning apparatus arranged in the first and second side plates. A side plate folding lock is arranged on the first and second side plates. The tray comprises roller shutter side plates symmetrically arranged on the baseplate and rolled in roller shutter storage apparatuses located in the baseplate, and can be pulled out under the action of external force. When the external force disappears, the roller shutter side plates can automatically retract.

The present invention provides a movable load bearing structure with a surface that includes antimicrobial agents capable of eliminating, preventing, retarding or minimizing the growth of microbes and also minimizing cross-contamination when the load bearing structure is being reused for cargoes that differ from a previously transported cargo, for example, different food types, such as poultry, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit. The load bearing structure may be a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.

A a squeezer and fluid discharge system and method are disclosed. The fluid discharge system includes a container, a liner bag, a squeezing device and a driving device, the liner bag is installed in the container, and the driving device is connected to the squeezing device and used to drive the squeezing device. The squeezing device comprises at least two rollers, and the liner bag is formed by welding a front panel and a rear panel and is provided with a discharge port which is arranged adjacent to the weld line at the bottom of the liner bag.

A container having interlocking features is provided. The container includes protrusions on the upper edges of the side wall panels and base wall panels, and notches in the runners/feet for receiving the protrusions. The runners and/or feet extend to the outer perimeter of the container so they can rest on an upper edge of a like container, and do not include a recess from the outer perimeter.

An apparatus is provided for a collapsible product display container that may be shipped or stored in two main pieces, but which may be assembled at the point of sale by reversible attachment of four side walls to a pallet bottom. The four side walls are hingedly interconnected to each other and are attachable to the pallet bottom in an upright vertical relationship without bolts, screws, or other separate hardware. The container further comprises an advertisement display case that is connected to the back side wall by a hinge and may be moved into a vertical planar alignment above the back side wall of the container by hinging mechanism for marketing purposes.
