A crane block holder includes a base made of steel of a thickness of at least ½ inch with several holes cut or formed therein. Each hole has an inner dimension. There are several crane block support arms, each of which has an arm portion connected to a peg that has a shoulder. An outer dimension of the peg is less than or equal to the inner dimension of the holes allowing snug insertion. An outer dimension of the shoulder is greater than the inner dimension of the holes such that upon insertion of the pegs into the holes, the shoulder limits how far the peg can be inserted. By inserting two or more crane block support arms of the plurality of crane block support arms into selected holes of the base, the two or more crane block support arms support a selected crane block.

A hygienic pallet suitable for use in food manufacturing is formed of a food-grade material. The pallet comprises a load supporting surface extending between pallet edges. The pallet also comprises support lips that extend upward and away from the load supporting surface and in a direction away from a pallet edge. At least two support lips can be separated to form a channel between chamfered edges of the support lips. The support lips support molds or other objects on the load supporting surface during movement of the pallet, while the channels facilitate removal of debris and liquid during use or cleaning of the pallet. The pallet further comprises a section divider that divides stacking sections of the load supporting surface. Stackable molds for food manufacturing can be placed within the stacking areas to transport the mold stacks. A method of manufacturing the hygienic pallet comprises rotational molding.

A nestable steel pallet, including a pallet assembly, a support assembly, and a nesting assembly. The pallet assembly includes a layer. The layer includes stiffening ribs enclosed in a pallet frame. The stiffening ribs are equidistantly separated defining slots. Cargo is fixed to said layer by tying straps in said stiffening ribs. The support assembly includes a load retainer to prevent cargo from shifting over the edges of said pallet. The load retainer extends upwardly from the edges of said layer. The nesting assembly includes stacking elements. The stacking elements extend downwards beneath said layer. The stacking elements are inserted in stacking elements of additional nestable steel pallets to nest a plurality of nestable steel pallets. The nestable steel pallet is formed through the metal stamping process.

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.

The patent application concerns a drum pallet (10) suitable for positioning one drum or a plurality of drums thereon, wherein the pallet has a deck (11), skids (2) and a plurality of blocks (12), coupling the deck with the skids, thereby forming a gap (5) therebetween for receiving a lifting member. The deck and the plurality of blocks form one monolithic body (1). The skids are connected below the blocks to the blocks. The body consists of a compression molded thermoset composite. The upper surface (13) of the deck comprises vertical protrusions (14A, 14B) adapted to avoid shifting of the drum along the surface, if the drum is positioned on the deck and aligned with the protrusions.

A pallet transport means for transporting a plurality of pallets includes a base frame configured to receive the plurality of pallets, and at least two lifting units arranged oppositely on the base frame. Each lifting unit has a plurality of spaced apart brackets which are connected to one another and which are configured in each case to receive a respective pallet in pairs in an opposite manner, and can be moved on one hand orthogonally and on the other hand parallel in relation to the base frame.

The invention relates to a system comprising at least one nestable lightweight pallet which has an upper deck with a bearing surface and feet on the underside of the upper deck in each corner, and comprising a plurality of containers which each have a container base and four circumferential side walls, wherein the lightweight pallet and the containers are configured and dimensioned in such a manner that, when the lightweight pallet is arranged on a first container layer, wherein the first container layer comprises a plurality of containers, in particular 2, 4, 6 or 8 containers, which abut one another and are inverted, each foot of the feet located in the corners of the lightweight pallet can be placed over its entire surface directly in a corner region of a container.

A modular pallet formed from a plurality of frame members and a plurality of deck members. The deck members extend between the frame members to define an upper deck surface and optionally a lower deck surface of the pallet. A plurality of spaced-apart channels are formed in at least an upper surface of the frame members to receive the deck members. In some embodiments the pallet may be configured as a stringer pallet and in other embodiments the pallet may be configured as a block pallet. In some embodiments the frame members are unitary stringers. In other embodiments the frame members are modular structures each comprising a block pallet subassembly and a deck support panel. The number, size, orientation and spacing of the channels formed in the frame members and the corresponding arrangement of the deck members may vary in different embodiments of the pallet. Once assembled, the frame members and deck members may be integrally connected, such as by heat welding. In some embodiments the pallet is formed from readily recyclable plastic.

A bin assembly includes a container and a pallet. The container has a base and sidewalls that extend upwardly and outwardly from the base. The base includes a centrally disposed alignment means and at least one spaced apart locking portion. The pallet includes a centrally disposed alignment means that is complementary to the container alignment means and at least one spaced apart locking mechanism disposed on the pallet and that is complementary to the at least one spaced apart locking portion. The at least one spaced apart locking mechanism is configured to engage or disengage the at least one spaced apart locking portion upon relative rotation between the container and the pallet to respectively lock or unlock the pallet and the container.

A platform includes a top deck with spaced apart platform support leg openings extending therethrough, and platform support legs extending from a lower surface of the top deck and aligned with the platform support leg openings. Each platform support leg includes an upper portion and a lower portion, with the upper portion having an opening extending therethrough and aligned with a respective one of the platform support leg openings in the top deck. The lower portion includes a shelf that separates the opening in the upper portion from the lower portion. The shelf provides support to a bottom surface of a platform support leg from an identical platform when stacked thereon. A pair of extensions extend outwards from a bottom surface of the lower portion, with the opening in the upper portion providing clearance for the pair of extensions on the platform support leg of the identical platform when stacked thereon.
