The container (10) has a lid structure (18) comprising two lid panels (20f) and (20t). The first lid panel (20t) forms at least a part of the top wall (14). The second lid panel 20f forms at least part of one of the side walls (16d). When the container (10) is in the erected condition the lid structure (18) can have one of, and be moved between, a closed configuration; top load configuration; and, front load configuration. The front load configuration has two variants. In a first front load configuration the first and second lid panels (20t) and (20f) remain connected to each other and are moved so that they are in a substantial face to face relationship. In the second front load configuration the second lid panel (20f) is pivoted to lie on top of the first lid panel (20t).

A pallet having: a pallet body having a first side and an opposing second side; at least one formed portion located on the first side of the pallet body and shaped to receive a rigid elongate first item thereon, the formed portion oriented substantially along a lengthwise axis of the pallet body. When the elongate first item is substantially retained on the formed portion of the pallet body such that when the elongate first item is secured thereon, a lengthwise rigidity of the pallet body is enhanced by the rigid elongate first item.

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.

A platform including a top deck is configured to receive a pallet when stacked thereon. The top deck includes at least one integrally formed recessed support configured to receive a pallet support of the pallet. The at least one recessed support includes a perimeter recessed in the top deck and which defines a cavity configured to receive the pallet support.

A hygienic pallet suitable for use in food manufacturing is formed of a food-grade material. The pallet comprises a load supporting surface extending between pallet edges. The pallet also comprises support lips that extend upward and away from the load supporting surface and in a direction away from a pallet edge. At least two support lips can be separated to form a channel between chamfered edges of the support lips. The support lips support molds or other objects on the load supporting surface during movement of the pallet, while the channels facilitate removal of debris and liquid during use or cleaning of the pallet. The pallet further comprises a section divider that divides stacking sections of the load supporting surface. Stackable molds for food manufacturing can be placed within the stacking areas to transport the mold stacks. A method of manufacturing the hygienic pallet comprises rotational molding.

An apparatus for construction of a stringer of a pallet is disclosed herein. In various aspects, the apparatus includes a corrugate sheet (30) cut to form a stringer shape sheet (32) with the stringer shape sheet (32) having a plurality of parallel stringer sections (33) defined by cuts from an upper surface through a lower surface of the stringer shape sheet (32). Each stringer section (33) on the stringer shape sheet (32) may be linked to an adjacent stringer section (33) by a plurality of shear bridges (34).

Transport pallet consisting of a first and second opposite short side and a first and second opposite long side. The bearing surface is constituted by a framework consisting of a number of mutually parallel extending elongate ribs and a number of mutually parallel extending transversal ribs extending perpendicularly to the elongate ribs. A number of legs are formed as an extension of the ribs and extend downward from the bearing surface and mutually distributed below the same. The short sides are similarly formed with fork lift pockets. The rib extension is formed with an inclination, so that the legs narrow in a direction away from the pallet underside.

A pallet is taught having two openings on at least one side of the pallet, the two openings formed by a bisecting wall separating the openings. More specifically, at least one bisecting post creates a first opening and a second opening Each of the said first and second openings each have a convexly curved runner, said runner convexly curved along its width; and a concavely curved ceiling, said ceiling concavely curved along its width wherein the center point of the radius of the curved runner varies from the radius of the curved ceiling.

An assembled plastic pallet is provided in the disclosure, which includes a panel and a plurality of support legs detachably arranged at a lower side of the panel. A metal reinforcement is embedded in the panel, each of the plurality of support legs is in a cuboid, four sides of each of the plurality of support legs is recessed inward to form a first groove, four sides of each of the plurality of support legs is formed with a reinforcing rib, and the reinforcing rib is smoothly transitioned to a bottom of the first groove with an arc. An assembled plastic pallet provided in this disclosure can be freely assembled as required and has high bearing capacity.

A transportation container with a stacked arrangement of containers formed from plastic, in which the containers are formed with a container bottom and a peripheral container wall, wherein the container bottom is configured so as to cover a total area of a transportation pallet or a section thereof, the peripheral container walls are formed with an upright wall and reinforcements disposed thereon, the containers are releasably assembled from container components which have two lateral container components, wherein container components disposed adjacent to each other are connected together in an interlocking and/or force-fitting manner.
