A collapsible, reusable bulk material container assembly, kit and method for assembling and using same are disclosed. Upper ring and base members are locked together by peripheral post members, forming an upright rigid framework that operatively supports a woven fabric bulk material receiving sleeve. A cover connected to the upper ring seals the container. Intermediate support bands may be attached to and along the post members to resist outwardly directed forces applied to the post members through the sleeve by contained bulk material. The container is reconfigurable to a collapsed storage or shipping module that retainably contains the post members, support bands and woven fabric sleeve. The post members may be segmentable or collapsible for containment within the collapsed module. Component parts of the container assembly are detachable, reusable and recyclable. One configuration of the container is sized to replace a conventional 55-gallon drum.

The present disclosure provides a movable load bearing structure having a light weight core covered with at least one polymeric sheet for improving its loading bearing strength. The movable load bearing structure includes indentations, grooves, valleys, channels or other similar depressions on its underside. These depressions are mated with corresponding features for improved loading bearing capabilities. The load bearing structures also includes roughened side edges for improving the strength of the edges. The movable structure may be in the form of a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.

A storage and transportation device, which relates to the technical field of storage and transportation apparatuses are disclosed. The storage and transportation device comprises a cover, a supporting plate and a sealant. The supporting plate covers an opening of the cover to form a space for accommodating an item to be transported. The storage and transportation device further comprises a first sealant groove and a second sealant groove arranged at a sealed junction between the cover and the supporting plate, the sealant is contained in each of the first sealant groove and the second sealant groove, and the two parts of the sealant are connected.

Disclosed are systems, apparatus and methods for transporting a palletized stack of bottles or other similar bulk-produced containers using a unique pallet base and a unique set of side panels that may be engaged with the base and with each other in order to protect the stacks of bottles on the pallet base during shipping and transport. Embodiments of the invention dampen vibrations, protect the bottles from exterior contaminants, and allow the bottles to be viewed from the outside. Embodiments of the invention also provide reusable pallet systems that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and ship back for reuse.

A collapsible container which is made from at least five interconnected panels each of which is square with projections on each side which have passages through which hinge pins are passed to secure the panels together.

The invention is directed to a stacking efficient dry flow bin. The bin can be configured in a nested configuration for transport and in an expanded configuration for use in holding and dispensing a flowable material. The bin is configured to stack with other like bins so that a stack three bins high will fit in the compartment of a standard shipping truck.

A pallet container for storing and transporting liquid contents includes a rigid thin-walled inner container made of thermoplastic, a tube grid frame tightly surrounding the plastic inner container as a supporting jacket, and a base pallet, on which the plastic container rests and to which the tube grid frame is securely connected. The base pallet includes an upper support plate of steel sheet, upper support pipes parallel and diagonally directly under the support plate, corner feet, central feet, and a base pipe assembly of steel pipes. The assembly circulating below the corner and central feet. At least one central foot has an outer central foot part and an inner central foot part fixed between the upper support pipes and the base-side circulating base pipe assembly in the final assembled state. Both central foot parts loosely engage into each other in a plugged formfitting manner.

A container having interlocking features is provided. The container includes protrusions on the upper edges of the side wall panels and base wall panels, and notches in the runners/feet for receiving the protrusions. The runners and/or feet extend to the outer perimeter of the container so they can rest on an upper edge of a like container, and do not include a recess from the outer perimeter.

The present invention relates to the field of the transportation and storage of goods and to a transport and storage system and, in particular, a system for the transportation and storage of goods such as palletized goods and self-standing goods. The present invention seeks to provide a system that can enable goods to be securely and reliably horizontally, vertically and offset stacked, despite different sizes of goods and support members therefor, such as pallets, whereby wasted volumes arising from the presence of irregular loads, pallets or pallets of different levels or different load ratings in storage and transport can be minimized.

A reinforced Gaylord container is provided storage and transport, including stacked storage on a pallet. A core is provided for supporting a majority of a vertical load on the container, instead of such load being delivered to sidewalls. A positioning insert is provided for positioning the core within the container. A plurality of such containers may be placed on respective pallets and stacked.
