A transport container for carrying objects includes a base for supporting the objects. Opposing first and second side walls are operatively connected to the base. At least one of the side walls is movable between an extended position and a contracted position. The transport container has a first width between the first and second side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the extended position and a second width between the side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the contracted position. The second width is different from the first width. The first and second side walls are also movable between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The transport container has a first height when the side walls are in the deployed position and a second height different than the first height when the side walls are in the collapsed position.

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 has a lower deck having two sides, two ends, and at least two feet, a frame mounted to the lower deck, the frame forming a pocket, an access site, one of either adjacent to, or within, the frame positioned to allow access to the pocket, and a cover over the frame to enclose the pocket, the cover to become a load area when a load is placed on the pallet.

Various approaches for attaching tracking devices to pallets allow pallets to be remotely tracked through any phase of a transportation lifecycle. In a first approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device may be disposed within a cavity of a block of a pallet. In a second approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device may be disposed within a strut that interfaces between two beams of a pallet. In a third approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device may be disposed within a cavity of a beam.

An anti-tilting device for releasably mounting on a transport pallet, such as a standardized transport pallet, such as a Euro pallet, is disclosed. The pallet—has a support side for placing the transport pallet on the ground and rest side opposite with respect to the support side, on which the transport goods are to be deposited and which is particularly formed by a plurality of parallel horizontal rest panels spaced apart from each other. The device includes a support pillar and a ground support connected with the support pillar, which extends along the transport pallet height downwards to the ground and which comprises a support end facing the ground for retaining on the ground, and a tine section fixedly connected with the support pillar and the ground support for reaching under the transport goods and particularly for engaging between the rest panels.

A crane mat stand device comprises a base component with integrated moveable support components. The crane mat stand device organizes and stores a plurality of crane mats, minimizes damage to the load or forklift machine, and maximizes safety during transport.

A dispenser transport pallet assembly for transporting a dispenser having a given configuration. The assembly includes a base member having a body with a lower surface and an upper surface. A plurality of rail members extend upward from the upper surface to define a plurality of lower cavities. A top cap has a cover surface with a plurality of rail members extending downward from an inner surface thereof to define a plurality of upper cavities. Each of the upper cavities is aligned with a respective lower cavity and each pair of upper and lower cavities is configured to receive and retain a respective dispenser.

Systems and devices are provided for loading a transportation unit. The system includes a pallet rack unit. The pallet rack unit is configured to receive and support loaded pallets. The pallet rack unit is configured to be loaded into the transportation unit with other pallet rack units that are substantially identical to the pallet rack unit. The pallet rack unit and the other pallet rack units, together, substantially fill a length and a width of the transportation unit. The pallet rack unit includes a base configured to receive a first loaded pallet. The pallet rack unit is further configured to be forkliftable. The pallet rack unit includes a plurality of posts coupled to the base and at least one height adjustable shelf coupled to the posts. The at least one height adjustable shelf is configured to receive and support a second loaded pallet. Additional shelves may be used to handle additional loaded pallets.

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.

Three approaches for attaching tracking devices to pallets. In a first approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device are disposed within a cavity of a block of a pallet. In a second approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device are disposed within a strut that interfaces between two beams of a pallet. In a third approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device are disposed within a cavity of a beam.
