A foldably constructible support tray is provided for a foldably constructible pallet. The foldably constructible support tray may include a tray panel. The tray panel may include a pair of opposing lips foldably connected to opposing edges of the tray panel and a pair of opposing securing sidewalls foldably connected to the remaining opposing edges of the tray panel. Portions of each lip may be secured to each securing sidewall. The tray panel may be positioned on a support surface of a top member of the foldably constructible pallet. The foldably constructible pallet may include a bottom member connected to the top member. The bottom member may have a base. A peripheral wall may extend between the support surface and the base. A portion of the foldably constructible support tray may couple to the foldably constructible pallet to secure the foldably constructible support tray to the foldably constructible pallet.

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.

A recyclable cardboard pallet is disclosed herein. The pallet includes a top platform and a bottom platform formed by at least one layer of laminar components, wherein at least one of the layers of laminar components of each platform has openings, fastening components, and a frustoconical shape for inserting separators. The separators include outer tubular bodies with an inner diameter that is greater than or equal to a largest diameter of the openings, such that ends of the outer tubular body rest completely on the laminar elements between which it is located. The separators further include an inner tubular body concentric with and longer than the outer tubular body, the inner tubular body having an outer diameter configured relative to a smallest diameter of the openings, such that the outer diameter of the inner tubular body fits flush with laminar elements between which it is located.

The invention is a pallet comprising a cover element (12) having a load bearing surface and a bottom surface being opposite the load bearing surface (11), and foot elements (10), each having a foot surface (15) being parallel with the bottom surface, and side walls (17) connecting the foot surface (15) and the bottom surface, the foot elements (10) being connected to the bottom surface (13), wherein the side walls (17) facing to each other of adjacent foot elements (10) being parallel with each other. The pallet further comprising a central stiffening element being supported against the side walls (17) facing to each other of adjacent foot elements (10) and being abutted against the bottom surface of the cover element (12), and the cover element (12) and the foot elements (10) being made from foldable sheet material.

This disclosure provides a configurable pallet or load-bearing platform, such as a pallet, for supporting goods. The load-bearing platform may include one or more plastic bases having two or more protrusions connected by one or more bridge pieces. The two or more protrusions are spaced apart one or more distances. The load-bearing platform further includes a cardboard base having openings spaced apart an amount wherein the openings are configured to receive the two or more protrusions of the plastic base. A load distribution member may be included and configured to contact at least a portion of the plastic base. The load distribution member may support at least a portion of the goods and distributes at least a portion of the weight of the goods to at least a portion of the plastic base. The size of the cardboard base, as well as other components of the load-bearing platform, in certain implementations, may be customized on demand.

[Object] To provide an article transportation pallet which does not take up much space during storage or transportation and can normally load and transport articles during use.

[Solution Means] The article transportation pallet includes a foldable pallet body 4 having a first surface structure in which a plurality of first plate bodies 2 formed in a strip shape are arranged so as to be parallel to each other in a plane direction and a second surface structure in which a plurality of second plate bodies 3 formed in a strip shape are arranged so as to be parallel to each other in a plane direction, where the plurality of first plate bodies 2 and the plurality of second plate bodies 3 are arranged so that the plurality of second plate bodies 3 intersect with the plurality of first plate bodies 2 to constitute quadrilateral regions S, each surrounded by four wall surfaces composed of two of the first plate bodies and two of the second plate bodies, and the first and second plate bodies 2, 3 are rotatably connected at intersection lines of the first and second plate bodies 2, 3, and when the pallet body 4 is expanded into a use state, a box 15 is accommodated in the quadrilateral region S in order to hold the expanded state.

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.

A method of assembling a pallet using a machine includes folding a first portion of a pallet support column to define a vertical support structure. The method further includes folding a second portion of the pallet support column to engage the vertical support structure. The method further includes gluing at least a portion of the second portion to the first portion. The method further includes coupling the pallet support column to at least one of a bottom member or a top member of the pallet.

A structural element (10) for forming a panel, with an upper plane (12) and lower plane (14) which are parallel and deformed along their plane at intervals by pods (16) which extrude toward the opposing plane with their internal faces mating to of another.

A molded plastic stacking device is placed between stacked containers of the type having a pallet bottom supporting a container body or sleeve. The device fits onto the top of one container and provides receptacles that receive and stabilize the legs of an upper pallet that is part of another container.
