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 pipe coil skid includes a plurality of beams affixably connected together to form a rectangular shaped base and a platform disposed within the base. The platform has a concave upward shape on its upward facing side when the skid sits on a horizontal surface, such that a coil of pipe positioned upon the platform contacts the platform within the base. The pipe coil skid also includes a first side rail coupled to at least one of the plurality of beams. The first side rail is configured to block movement of the coil of pipe beyond a boundary of the rectangular shaped base.

In the counter-top fabrication business, the most serious problem is the movement of the material because it is so heavy. The racks used to transport pieces are normally 4 to 8 inches tall off the ground which is just enough room for the forks of a forklift to raise the rack. Therefore, installers must squat all the way to the ground to lift the pieces. The invention we created is an easy lift rack raising the height of the countertop material as high as possible while still being able to travel safe. We have lifted the rack as high as possible to reach what OSHA calls the power zone for lifting. This rack itself can be picked up with a forklift from the spreader beam attached to the top. Our rack can easily be moved around with a forklift, and allows for safe and easy loading/unloading of countertop material.

In the counter-top fabrication business, the biggest and most serious problem is the movement of material. The biggest reason for concern is that kitchen countertop pieces can weigh anywhere from 200 to 1200 pounds. The racks used to transport pieces are normally 4 to 8 inches tall off the ground which is just enough room for the forks of a forklift to raise the rack. Therefore, installers must squat all the way to the ground to lift the pieces. The invention we created is an easy lift rack raising the height of the countertop material as high as possible on the rack while still being able to travel safe. We have lifted the rack as high as possible to reach what OSHA calls the power zone for lifting. Our rack can easily be moved around with a forklift, and allows for safe and easy loading/unloading of countertop material.

A carrier tray and a carrier tray assembly using the same are described. The carrier tray includes a carrying portion, a surrounding wall and at least one recessed structure. The carrying portion has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface. The surrounding wall is disposed around the carrying portion. The recessed structure is recessed into the carrying portion. The recessed structure has an opening and a recessed space, and the recessed space is communicated with the outside through the opening. There is a first distance defined by the recessed space along a first direction, and there is a second distance defined by the opening along the first direction. The first distance is greater than the second distance.

A pallet comprises a deck. The deck comprises a product supporting surface and one or more load bearing features. The load bearing features are configured to receive lateral projections of support members.

A pallet spacer system including a pallet spacer having a pallet spacer body with a plurality of upper portions. Each upper portion has a generally flat upper surface that is aligned with the upper surfaces of the other upper portions. The pallet spacer body further includes a plurality of lower portions, each lower portion having a generally flat lower surface that is aligned with the lower surfaces of the other lower portions. The pallet spacer system includes a plurality of spacers positioned on the upper portions and configured to receive at least an item therebetween.

A reinforced Gaylord container is provided storage and transport, including stacked storage on a pallet. A core is provided for supporting a majority of a vertical load on the container, instead of such load being delivered to sidewalls. A positioning insert is provided for positioning the core within the container. A plurality of such containers may be placed on respective pallets and stacked.

The disclosure refers to a container for storing and providing at least one modular road paver assembly designed for detachable mounting on a road paver. The container comprises a storage system by means of which individual components of the road paver assembly can be positioned within the container in a standardized arrangement, such that the components of the road paver assembly can be checked for completeness by an operator by means of a visual inspection along a sequence determined between opposite boundaries of the container in view of their assembly sequence on the road paver.

A wrapping apparatus for pallets is a sturdy plastic wrap for securing products on pallets that has criss-crossed straps with tightening devices that are operated using a cordless drill. The ends of the straps have hooks that attach to the corners of the pallet. As the disc shaped tighteners are turned clockwise, the straps are shortened tightening the straps and therefore tightening the plastic wrap over the cargo.
