An object carrying assembly and a transfer robot. The object carrying assembly (100) comprises: an object carrying component, which comprises two opposite boundary portions; and clamping and bearing members (120), wherein the clamping and bearing members (120) are arranged at the two boundary portions and are rotationally connected to the object carrying component, and the clamping and bearing members (120) are provided with bearing members (121) and clamping claws (122) on two sides of a rotating shaft (130), respectively. When the object carrying component is empty, the bearing members (121) are at least partially higher than a bearing surface of the object carrying component, and when the object carrying component is loaded, the bearing members (121) are not higher than the bearing surface, and the clamping claws (122) are higher than the bearing surface. The object carrying assembly and the transfer robot can prevent cargo from falling off of same due to factors such as uneven ground or an excessively high carrying speed, such that the carrying efficiency can be improved.

A package unit includes: a base on which a packaged object is placed; a box that surrounds the packaged object; and a lid that covers the box such that a surface provided with an overlapping section where a sheet is folded and overlapped serves as a high impact resistance surface when the packaged object receives an impact.

An apparatus and methods are described for an improved pallet for the transportation and storage of goods. The pallet disclosed herein has four walls that are at least 4 inches tall that may be lowered to allow the efficient removal of goods off of the pallet. The wall may be used as a ramp to slide the goods off of the pallet. The walls may be locked in an upright position to ensure the goods are secured onto the pallet during transport or storage. When the goods are needed, one or more of the walls may be unlocked and lowered so that the goods do not have to be lifted over the wall to unload the goods from the pallet. The wall may also be in the lowered position to allow goods to be loaded onto to the pallet without having to lift them up and over the wall. The pallet also consists of nine feet that are at least 4 inches high, which minimizes the risk of forks missing the pallet opening when the forks are inserted to move the pallet.

A shock absorbing member which absorbs a shock acting between a top plate with an upper surface on which a fixation target is loaded and the fixation target includes a fixation part that fixes the fixation target and a shock absorbing part that is supported by the top plate, supports the fixation part, and absorbs a shock acting on the fixation part.

The pallet assembly comprises a top plate, a load-force plate, a runner, and a plurality of load blocks disposed between the load force plate and the runner. The load-force plate is disposed between the top plate and the runner and increases the load bearing capacity of the top plate while adding strength to the pallet assembly. The pallet assembly includes a biocidal coating material that protects shipment of foodstuffs and other products requiring sanitary conditions, preventing the growth of mold, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. The pallet assembly includes a pallet integrated module positioned between the top plate and the runner, that collects journey data on location, temperature, humidity and shock along with store forward capability during not connected times of each journey of the pallet assembly. The load-force plate has either an X-form configuration or a cross-form configuration. In one preferred embodiment, an antenna is embedded in the cross-form configuration.

An apparatus may include a breadboard. The breadboard may include a substantially flat board, which may include a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface may be disposed opposite the bottom surface. The board may include one or more openings disposed in the board. The apparatus may include a pallet. The pallet may include a top surface and a bottom portion disposed opposite the top surface. The pallet may include a plurality of risers, which may be disposed on the bottom portion and extend in a direction opposite the top surface. The bottom surface of the breadboard may be mountable to the top surface of the pallet. One or more circuit breakers may be disposable on the top surface of the board of the breadboard. The breadboard and pallet may be reusable in transporting circuit breakers.

Improved equipment bases and methods for making and using same are disclosed herein. The equipment base can include a first coated substrate including a first part having a first thickness sized to provide the load-bearing support for the equipment, a first elastomer coating the first part, a second coated substrate positioned adjacent to the first coated substrate, the second coated substrate including a second part having a second thickness sized to provide the load-bearing support for the equipment, and a second elastomer coating the second part. A first seam can be formed between the first and second coated substrates to allow for moisture to pass between the first and second coated substrates so that moisture is allowed to seep away from the bottom of the equipment.

Disclosed are systems, apparatus and methods for transporting a palletized stack of bottles or other similar bulk-produced containers using a unique pallet base and a unique set of side panels that may be engaged with the base and with each other in order to protect the stacks of bottles on the pallet base during shipping and transport. Embodiments of the invention dampen vibrations, protect the bottles from exterior contaminants, and allow the bottles to be viewed from the outside. Embodiments of the invention also provide reusable pallet systems that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and ship back for reuse.

Various embodiments provide a bulk material shipping container top wall assembly, and a bulk material shipping container including the top wall assembly, that provides various advantages over previously known commercially available bulk shipping material container top wall assemblies and bulk shipping material containers.

A pallet for shipping goods, the pallet having a rigid member, a phase change material, and a temperature indicator. The rigid member includes a phase change material compartment. A phase change material is disposed in the phase change material compartment. The temperature indicator indicates a thermal state of the pallet.
