The invention is directed to a universal top cap having structure for securely mating with and supporting a pallet, or a steel mesh container or a collapsible container. The top cap includes an upper support surface having an upwardly extending lip structure along a perimeter of the upper surface. The upper surface is also provided with recesses and protrusions which enable the top cap to mate with the various items.

Modular pallet system for transporting bulky and fragile goods in a multi-story constellation, the system consists of the modules basic-pallet, vertical-pillars, longitudinal-reinforce-elements and transversal-reinforce-elements. The basic-pallet provides the surface for placing the cargo and for lashing via integrated tie-down points. Further junction points at the edges of the basic-pallet are for the connection with the vertical-pillars and through these with the reinforce elements, necessary to provide the assembly's stability, enabling stack ability with additional basic-pallets on top.

The invention is directed to a flexible and collapsible extended-length bulk bin. The bulk bin includes two molded plastic end pieces that are connected at each side to each by metal rails. A bottom panel and two side wall panels are also positioned between the two molded plastic end pieces.

A collapsible storage and transportation unit is disclosed and comprises a base including a cargo area surrounded by an edge having four ends; four wall panel supporting members connected to the edge of the base, each wall panel supporting member comprising at least a first post member and a second post member, the wall panel supporting members being pivotable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration, wherein in the folded configuration the wall panel supporting members are lying down over the base and the collapsible storage and transportation unit is in a collapsed configuration. In the unfolded configuration the first post member of a first given wall panel supporting member and the second post member of a second given wall panel supporting member are both adjacent to each other. A first collapsible storage and transportation unit is stackable over a second collapsible storage and transportation unit.

Described is a pallet including a base having a length extending between a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a width transverse to the length; and a cage removably coupled to the base.

A re-usable, returnable, stackable, modular shipping base incorporates replaceable components to make the base relatively quick and cost effective to repair. The shipping base is formed from a number of stamped or cut sheet materials (e.g., sheet metal) that are then folded and attached to one another using a tab system. When a component is damaged, the damaged component may be removed from the base and replaced with another mass produced, stamped sheet material component. Components are attached to one another via adhesive, stitch welding, skip welding, spot welding, or any other applicable process. Some components (e.g., a center support) may also be assembled using a tab (from the center support) and slot (in a deck pan) system.

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 HL 1, 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>HL 1, 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+HL 1, 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.

The present invention relates to a cuboid-shaped flexible inliner from a plastics film, having an upper filling connector and a lower removal connector, the cuboid-shaped flexible inliner for a pallet container for storing and for transporting liquid or free-flowing filling materials, having a thin-walled rigid internal container from a thermoplastic plastics material, a tubular lattice frame, and a rectangular base pallet on which the plastics-material internal container bears and to which the tubular lattice frame is fixedly connected cuboid-shaped flexible inliner in the a lower removal region has a corresponding wall recess, directed inward and adapted to the protective-housing-shaped molding of the rigid plastics-material container, having a flexible removal connector molded thereon, which is configured so as to bear completely in an exact fit on the internal surface of the molding that protrudes in a protective-housing manner into the interior of the rigid plastics-material container.

A bulk material shipping container including a pallet, a compartment mounted on the pallet, a material unloading assembly, and a material loading assembly.

Disclosed herein is an aluminum assembly pallet. This includes a plurality of upper plates each having a predetermined length, a binding device coupled at an upper end thereof to a lower portion of each upper plate, with a sliding protrusion formed on a lower end of the binding device, and a middle plate disposed under each of the upper plates to be perpendicular thereto and assembled with the binding device. The middle plate includes a sliding groove formed to allow the sliding protrusion to be movable inwards in a longitudinal direction of the middle plate, a plurality of entrance holes formed in an upper end of the sliding groove to allow the sliding protrusion to go in and out, and a connecting hole connecting the entrance holes to each other and having a width that is smaller than a diameter of each of the entrance holes.
