A single deck pallet comprising a deck having a top for supporting a load and a bottom, at least four sides, the at least four sides comprising a first pair of opposed sides and a second pair of opposed sides. A plurality of intermediate spaced apart beams of the deck extending between (and preferably to) at least a first pair of opposed sides. A plurality of distributed primary props dependent from the deck and projecting below the bottom of the deck to aid in supporting the pallet on a surface. At least one beam extends between adjacent primary props and the primary props are horizontally spaced apart from each other and from said at least one beam so as to allow a tine of a forklift to pass in a linear direction parallel to the at least one beam between adjacent primary props to reach at least partially under and bear on the bottom of the deck and bear on the at least one beam.

The invention provides a pallet wrap system and manufacture for repair of wood pallets. Extending the service life of wood pallets reduces associated costs, environmental concerns, and workplace injuries. The wrap or wrap component comprises a plurality of portions hingedly attached to one another and configured to surround or cover a portion of a pallet. The wrap component may be manufactured using recycled material, such as paper, aluminum, or plastic, and may further include a chemical for properties such as elasticity, adhesion, and bonding grip. The wrap component may further be folded to such that it can be erected from a flattened state to form a display unit for products. The wrap may include printed information content such as advertising/marketing content, or manufacturer's or shipper's information, identification or logo to make sure that only that business' product is shipped or used with the identified pallet.

Described is a wood-plastic composite material for structural components of transport pallet, said structural components being capable of being nailed together, having a matrix foamed by means of a blowing agent, wood meal fibres and an adhesion promoter. To create a wood-plastic composite material of this kind which enables a cost-efficient production of transport pallets with a wood-like appearance and constitutes a reliable replacement for the soft wood materials used up until now, at least with regard to weight and mechanical strength properties, it is proposed that the matrix, which comprises a long chain-branched polyolefin, has a mass fraction of 30-95%, the wood meal fibres have a mass fraction of 5-50% and the adhesion promoter has a mass fraction of up to 10% of the wood-plastic composite material, the composite material density being less than 0.3 g/cm.sup.3.

In at least one embodiment, an apparatus for securing boxes on a pallet may a L-shaped structural member sized to run a length or a width of a pallet, the L-shaped structural member having a top side and a bottom side. The L-shaped structural member allows for securing a load on the pallet. The L-shaped structural member also provides additional surface area for plastic wrap to secure a load.

A pallet base structure including a center deck defining a support surface extending between opposed sides and having at least two lugs extending from each of the opposed sides. A pair of base side members are positioned along respective sides of the center deck. Each base side member has first and second spaced apart base legs and a support member extending between the base legs with at least two corresponding lug receiving slots defined in the support member. The respective lugs are received in the respective lug receiving slots such that the center deck support surface is aligned with an upper surface of each support member to define a planar pallet surface. A packaging system incorporating the pallet base structure is also described.

Packaging configuration comprising: a pallet comprising a top surface, a bottom surface and a height HP; a first stack of bagged goods having a total height HL1, stacked on the pallet and comprising at least two layers; and a support structure comprising at least four walls situated over the first stack of bagged goods, one of the walls being a top wall and at least three of the walls being sidewalls. The support structure has a height HC that meets one of the following equations: HC>HL1, when the bottom end of at least one sidewall of the support structure is positioned on the top surface of the at least one pallet; or HC>HP+HL1, when the bottom end of at least one sidewall of the support structure and the bottom surface of the pallet are both positioned on the same surface. An air gap having a height HAG is situated between a top layer of the first stack of bagged goods and the top wall of the support structure.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a shipping tray for a chair having a plurality of legs including a top side, bottom side, front support, rear support, first side support, second side support, a central brace, a plurality of holders, and a plurality of structural ribs. Embodiments may also include a shipping tray system, and a method of stacking a chair having a plurality of legs on the shipping tray.

A pallet has a carrier arrangement (1), with at least one platform or base surface (6), for carrying at least one item and at least two skid arrangements (2) and at least two coupling arrangements (3). The at least two coupling arrangements (3) are provided for intercoupling the carrier arrangement (1) and the skid arrangements (2) when needed.

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.
