The present disclosure includes a shipping pallet including an upper deck, a lower deck, and a plurality of pillars. The upper deck includes an upper exterior surface and an upper interior surface. The lower deck defines a lower exterior surface and a lower interior surface. The pillars are connected between the upper deck and the lower and the combination of the pillars, the upper deck, and the lower deck defines a space frame structure. Various components, such as the pillars, upper deck, and lower deck may be webbed-formed structures for enhanced rigidity.

A hand truck pallet or dolly pallet teaches that the pallet may secure to the hand truck nose plate both top and bottom, allowing almost complete freedom of rotation without allowing the pallet to fall from the hand truck. It furthermore may be removed instantly by withdrawal. The nose plate is held between rails on either side which have projections defining small gaps into which the edges of the nose plate are slid in usage.

A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has at least one track supported by each side of the container. The container has at least one lockable crossbar assembly extending between opposed tracks. Each lockable crossbar assembly has one or more locking assemblies to fix the position of the lockable crossbar assembly relative to the tracks.

A pallet system for shipping and storage of railing segments. The pallet system captures the corners of a plurality of railing segments, thereby diminishing the weight, footprint, and materials of construction requirements. In some embodiments, a plurality of the pallet systems can be stacked. The diminished size of the pallet system components after removal of the railing segments can be returned to the shipper in a refund exchange arrangement. In some embodiments, the plurality of railing segments is maintained in a fixed relationship using a spacer that is inserted laterally through the plurality of railing segments.

A sheet metal pallet assembly includes a deck and an undercarriage. The deck is reinforced about its outer edges by longitudinal and transverse perimeter girding. The deck is further reinforced by one or more transverse reinforcement ribs and interior longitudinal girding. The undercarriage is composed of left and right fork tube risers joined together by bridges. The fork tube risers are configured to receive the tines of a forklift. Each fork tube riser has inner and a outer legs, each splayed at an a respective angle. Preferably, the splay angle of the outer leg is greater than the splay angle of the inner leg. The ends of each fork tube riser are folded over with a hem to improve strength and present a blunt edge. The undercarriage may, optionally, be fabricated from a single monolithic piece of sheet metal.

Assembled and combined pallet constitutes of supporting beams and skids wherein: the supporting beams are made of the hollow metal section bar and the supporting beams are equipped with the grooves along its length direction on the top; the skids are set with inserting blocks at the bottom in relation to the grooves on the top of the supporting beams and inserting blocks are inserted into the grooves along the length direction of the grooves; the supporting beam is set with a locating lever in relation to the inserting block of each skid, and the inserting block of each skid is set with a locking hole in relation to the locating lever and the locating level passes through the corresponding locking hole of the inserting block to lock the skid. The skid connection and supporting beam is reliable and the disassembly and assembly during the use is convenient and fast.

The Self-Stacking SPACE Platform is an enclosure for safe storage and transportation of packaged goods or products used in logistic industries which eliminates the need of conventional pallets made up of wood or plastic and provides more stability, safety, and expanded utilization of space, referred to as density within the transportation vehicles, containers and storage warehouses, allowing more goods or products being stored or transported compared to present pallets. The Self-Stacking SPACE Platforms of present invention is stackable up to 4 high which is further comprised of: a rectangular base frame having a removable flooring sheet made of a light weight material such as plastic; a corner support member welded at each corner of the base frame to insert and secure at least one corner upright member to form a structure that behaves as a box like frame to enclose the goods or merchandise placed on the SPACE platform and also behaves as a pillars while stacking two or more platforms together. The SPACE platforms of present invention further includes plurality of forklift slots configured to allow lifting of the platform using any conventional forklift; a strap loop for strapping two or more SPACE platforms when stacked together; and a forklift shield provided to prevent damage to the goods or merchandise in case a fork of the forklift misses the forklift slot.

The invention relates to a collapsible superstructure (30), a frame system (20), a lid (40) and a load handling system in the form of a pallet (10) with other components thereon. The superstructure (30) comprises a downward-extending protrusion in the corner portions (33a-d) for forming a step which is arranged to interact with an edge of a downward-extending recess of the pallet (10) on which the superstructure (30) is intended to be placed. When the superstructure (30) is in a partly raised upright position on the pallet (10), each corner portion (33a-d) can be pushed outward so that the protrusion can drop down into each recess of the pallet (10). The collapsible sides (32a-b) comprise respective lower locking portions arranged to interact with a locking portion of the pallet (10) in such a way that, when the superstructure (30) is in a partly raised upright position on the pallet (10), the locking portion of the superstructure (30) can pass an edge of the locking portion of the pallet (10) in an outward movement (L) and thereby enable the superstructure (30) to place itself in a fully raised position.

An assemblable metal pallet having two plinths each provided with a cut-out and with a loading platform and a plurality of components obtained from a single piece of a basic metal profile having a symmetrical shape about the longitudinal central plane and provided with a longitudinal rib of rectangular cross-section and constant height extending from one and the same part with respect to a base plane, and with two outer lateral webs having their edge bent inwards and at least partly coplanar with the top of the rib, the components including a first component composed of a piece of basic profile bent to a C-shape with the aperture facing upwards, a second component composed of a piece of the same basic profile bent to an inverted U-shape, a further component formed from a piece of the same basic profile and constituting a crosspiece for connecting together the plinths.

Resin pallets having a deck and a base, where the deck and base are joined by an interlock, which is optionally reversible, are described. Methods of making such pallets by assembling the pallets by interlocking parts to form the pallets, in an optionally reversible method, are also described.
