A plastic pallet comprising a deck for storing objects to be transported, feet which are formed protruding from a deck underside, and runners which are formed in each case connecting at least two feet to each other on their undersides. The plastic pallet also comprises at least one stiffening structure which comprises lower side rails arranged in the runners, and upper side rails arranged spaced apart therefrom, which are arranged above the lower side rails running parallel thereto. The stiffening structure comprises rungs, each with a predominantly closed surface, which connect the lower side rails in the feet to the upper side rails. The rungs are formed in one piece on the side rails or are connected thereto in each case via contact surfaces in bonded, friction-locking or form-locking manner. As such, the pallet bending stiffness and shear strength in a plane parallel to the deck upper side are increased.

A transport container for carrying objects includes a base for supporting the objects. Opposing first and second side walls are operatively connected to the base. At least one of the side walls is movable between an extended position and a contracted position. The transport container has a first width between the first and second side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the extended position and a second width between the side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the contracted position. The second width is different from the first width. The first and second side walls are also movable between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The transport container has a first height when the side walls are in the deployed position and a second height different than the first height when the side walls are in the collapsed position.

A pallet includes a deck supported by a central support and outer columns. Runners may connect lower ends of the outer columns to the central support. The deck, central support, outer columns and (optionally) runners may molded as a single piece of plastic. The outer columns are reinforced with reinforcement members so that the outer columns can be very thin (e.g. approximately 1 inch thick).

A pipe coil skid includes a plurality of beams affixably connected together to form a rectangular shaped base and a platform disposed within the base. The platform has a concave upward shape on its upward facing side when the skid sits on a horizontal surface, such that a coil of pipe positioned upon the platform contacts the platform within the base. The pipe coil skid also includes a first side rail coupled to at least one of the plurality of beams. The first side rail is configured to block movement of the coil of pipe beyond a boundary of the rectangular shaped base.

A pallet includes a top deck and a bottom deck, and spaced apart support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks and forming a gap therebetween for receiving a lifting member. Each support block includes a mid-section having spaced apart upper and lower surfaces, an upper tower extending from the upper surface of the mid-section, and a lower tower extending from the lower surface. The upper towers are inserted into corresponding upper tower openings in the top deck, and the lower towers are inserted into corresponding lower tower openings in the bottom deck.

The present invention provides a movable load bearing structure with a surface that includes antimicrobial agents capable of eliminating, preventing, retarding or minimizing the growth of microbes and also minimizing cross-contamination when the load bearing structure is being reused for cargoes that differ from a previously transported cargo, for example, different food types, such as poultry, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit. The load bearing structure may be a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.

In the counter-top fabrication business, the most serious problem is the movement of the material because it is so heavy. The racks used to transport pieces are normally 4 to 8 inches tall off the ground which is just enough room for the forks of a forklift to raise the rack. Therefore, installers must squat all the way to the ground to lift the pieces. The invention we created is an easy lift rack raising the height of the countertop material as high as possible while still being able to travel safe. We have lifted the rack as high as possible to reach what OSHA calls the power zone for lifting. This rack itself can be picked up with a forklift from the spreader beam attached to the top. Our rack can easily be moved around with a forklift, and allows for safe and easy loading/unloading of countertop material.

The present disclosure discloses a composite pallet includes a support plate, a support frame and a plurality of support legs, wherein the support plate is detachably disposed on the support frame, the support legs are detachably disposed on the surface of the support frame facing away from the support plate, and the plurality of support legs are spaced apart from each other. The composite pallet disclosed in the present disclosure has a simple structure and a low cost by assembling a support plate, a support frame and a support leg detachably to form a composite pallet, and the pallet has strong supporting strength, at the same time the pallet of the various components can be disassembled, improve the recycling of various components.

A composite pallet for the transport and long-term storage of barrels, comprising a base element made of plastic with a top side, an under side and support projections; a deck element made of plastic with a top side for storing the barrels; and a depositing area for holding a vertical barrel. The deck element has an under side and support projections resting on the base element support projections, and is supported against the base element; the deck element under side is at a distance from the base element top side. Support inserts made of a material with a creep modulus which is higher over a predefined period than a creep modulus of plastic, and the decrease in which is lower than that of plastic over the specified period, are locked into holders on the deck element under side and on the base element top side.

A pipe coil skid includes a plurality of beams affixably connected together to form a rectangular shaped base and a platform disposed within the base. The platform has a concave upward shape on its upward facing side when the skid sits on a horizontal surface, such that a coil of pipe positioned upon the platform contacts the platform within the base. The pipe coil skid also includes a first side rail coupled to at least one of the plurality of beams. The first side rail is configured to block movement of the coil of pipe beyond a boundary of the rectangular shaped base.
