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.

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.

Disclosed is a pallet, comprising first plywood, and foot piers fixedly arranged at a bottom side of the first plywood. The first plywood comprises a first batten layer and a second batten layer, wherein the first batten layer and the second batten layer are alternately arranged in a stacked manner, the first batten layer comprises several first battens arranged at intervals and along a first direction, and the second batten layer comprises several second battens arranged at intervals and along a second direction. The pallet not only has guaranteed strength but also has a relatively light weight.

A cavity is cut into a wooden structure (e.g., stringer, block, or deckboard) of a wood pallet such that an electronic tracking device can be embedded into the wooden structure for tracking the pallet. The cavity is shaped to allow for a sufficient thickness of remaining wood material surrounding the cavity to remain strong and also to allow for sufficient thinness so wireless signals can be reliably transmitted to/from electronics within the cavity. The remaining space within the cavity around the embedded tracking device is filled with a potting material to secure and protect the tracking device within the cavity. The tracking device monitors the location of the pallet and provides location data to a back-end system over a communication channel either directly or via a local hub. The back-end system performs analytics on the location data.

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 includes a first panel with a detent and a pin extending therefrom, a second panel that extends transverse to the first panel, and a bracket removably coupled to the first panel via engagement with the detent and the pin such that the bracket prevents movement of the second panel relative to the first panel. The detent is selectively depressed to thereby decouple the bracket from the first panel.

Disclosed herein are disposable cable payoff systems that maintain the performance standards required for operation at commercial sites, such as durability during transport from the manufacturer and cable payoff, and low resistance cable payoff. Preloaded cable reels comprising a disposable cable payoff system are also disclosed herein. Methods for providing the preloaded cables reels are also disclosed herein.

A photovoltaic module packing box and a photovoltaic module package structure are provided. The photovoltaic module packing box includes a tray having an accommodation space; a support plate having an edge hinged to an edge of the tray, and the support plate is lapped on the tray; an airbag assembly arranged in the accommodation space; an air valve assembly connected to the airbag assembly by a pipeline; an enclosure frame connected to the support plate and configured to enclose, together with the support plate, a receiving space for photovoltaic modules, and the enclosure frame includes a fixation part and a movable part; the fixation part is fixed to the support plate with one side thereof configured as an open structure; the movable part is detachably connected to the open structure of the fixation part, and the movable part and the fixation part together form an annular structure.
