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.

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.

A system and method that provides for a crate consisting of main flooring section and additional side supports and horizontal beam bracing, that when assembled give the crate the rigidity to be stacked vertically, with multiple units on top of each other, with no other supporting structure. Safe lifting is ensured by fully enclosed fork pockets across the crate base. Safe stacking is ensured by using ISO shipping container casting, as part of the crate design along with top lug assembly to provide positive lateral restraint when stacked.

A system and method for providing a collapsible pallet container is disclosed. The collapsible pallet container includes a container base, a pair of top panel components, a pair of end wall panel components, and a pair of side wall panel components coupled on each side to one of the set of corner posts. The container base has four corner posts. Each of the top panels has a release cable and a pair of release cable end. Each of the top panel components slides outward towards one of the pair of side wall panel components and pivots into a vertical position and slides downward parallel to its corresponding side wall panel component; each of the wall panel components pivots inward one at a time until on top of the container base; and each of the side wall panel components with its corresponding top panel component in its vertical and parallel orientation pivots inward one at a time on top of the pair of end wall panel components.

A rack for storing and/or transporting elements, in particular glazing elements, of the type including a receiving structure for these elements, the top part of the structure including a receiving device and a securing device for an additional top rack that is to be stacked thereon, and the bottom part of this structure including a complementary device that can allow it to cooperate with the receiving device and the securing device of an additional bottom rack on which it is to be stacked. The securing device includes at least two members separated from one another in the transverse direction by a value of a pitch corresponding to a difference in dimensions, in the transverse direction, of the racks that are to be stacked.

The invention relates to a collapsible pallet casing assembly (1), comprising a pallet (2) with a frame structure enclosing a loading surface thereof, a rear casing wall, a front casing wall (32) a top casing wall (15), as well as first (17) and second lateral casing walls. The assembly (1) is transferable between an erected state, in which it is used as a shipping crate for bulky objects, and a collapsed state in which it may be stored or transported as a unit claiming little space. The assembly (1) is transferable from the erected state to the collapsed state by folding all said casing walls (15, 17, 32) on top of each other onto the pallet (2). The invention also relates to use of such a pallet casing assembly (1) for shipping bulky objects, especially server racks or power cabinets.

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.
