A shipping container comprising a basket, a plurality of feet, and a plurality of removable corner columns. In some embodiments, the shipping container comprises a basket, a plurality of feet, and a plurality of foot pads. Further embodiments include foot pads with drill release locks.

The present disclosure includes a shipping pallet including an upper deck, a lower deck, and a plurality of pillars. The upper deck includes an upper exterior surface and an upper interior surface. The lower deck defines a lower exterior surface and a lower interior surface. The pillars are connected between the upper deck and the lower and the combination of the pillars, the upper deck, and the lower deck defines a space frame structure. Various components, such as the pillars, upper deck, and lower deck may be webbed-formed structures for enhanced rigidity.

A hand truck pallet or dolly pallet teaches that the pallet may secure to the hand truck nose plate both top and bottom, allowing almost complete freedom of rotation without allowing the pallet to fall from the hand truck. It furthermore may be removed instantly by withdrawal. The nose plate is held between rails on either side which have projections defining small gaps into which the edges of the nose plate are slid in usage.

A pallet lift includes a pair of outer tines movable between an expanded position spaced outward away from inner tines and a retracted position adjacent the inner tines. The inner and outer tines are supported by wheels at locations spaced away from the lift mechanism. A pallet includes a plurality of nestable feet that open outwardly of the pallet to reduce the footprint. A second pallet includes a side wall extending downward from side edges of the pallet to define an opening adjacent outer feet.

A nestable pallet includes a deck having opposed side edges and opposed end edges. A plurality of feet extend downward from the deck. The feet are hollow and elongated in a direction parallel to the side edges of the deck. The deck includes openings therethrough that lead into the feet for receiving the feet of an identical nestable pallet nested thereon. A half pallet includes a half deck and a plurality of feet extending downward from the half deck. The feet of the half pallet extend into half of the plurality of feet of the nestable pallet. Optionally, the deck further includes a handle opening having at least one handle wall adjacent the handle opening. A plurality of ribs extend upward from the handle wall.

A modular pallet system utilizes a plurality of modular pallets that are configured to engage along sides of the pallet to form an interconnected array of coupled pallets that may be moved by a pallet truck and wherein the individual pallets are configured for detachment and transport with a hand-truck. A quad array of coupled pallets may be formed that is about a conventional pallet size and configured to receive the two forks of a fork truck into fork truck openings. One of the modular pallets of the quad array of coupled pallets may be disengaged or disconnected by use of a hand-truck, wherein the tongue of the hand-truck extends in the fork truck opening between the feet of a pallet and engages with hand-truck notches configured on feet. An interconnecting feature of a modular pallet may include a dovetail and dovetail recess.

Methods for protecting a ground surface from exposure to material that may be spilled from or leak from one or more containers, which includes setting up a portable spill containment system that includes at least one grate for supporting the one or more containers. The grate includes a plurality of drain holes. The portable spill containment system includes a flexible bag configured to contain spills or leakage from the one or more containers that pass through the drain holes of the grate. In one embodiment, the portable spill containment system includes a plurality of pedestals that support the at least one grate. In another embodiment, the portable spill containment system includes an interconnected grid structure formed of separate and distinct spaced apart beams.

A pallet lift includes a pair of outer tines movable between an expanded position spaced outward away from inner tines and a retracted position adjacent the inner tines. The inner and outer tines are supported by wheels at locations spaced away from the lift mechanism. A pallet includes a plurality of nestable feet that open outwardly of the pallet to reduce the footprint. A second pallet includes a side wall extending downward from side edges of the pallet to define an opening adjacent outer feet.

A prefabricated pallet rack structure includes: fixtures slidingly fitted to a plurality of mounting portions formed on corners of a pallet; a plurality of first assembling bars having one end fixedly fitted to the fixtures and the other end of a given length in a vertical direction; and a plurality of second assembling bars having one end fitted to the top end of the plurality of first assembling bars in such a manner as to be adjusted in height and the other end of a given length in a horizontal direction, wherein the plurality of second assembling bars is configured to allow the other end of the given length in the horizontal direction to cross to a shape of “X” in such a manner as to be drawnably fitted to each other to perform adjustment in the width.

In a device (1) for holding objects (2) consisting of: a plate-shaped support frame (4) in which a plurality of accommodation openings (5) are incorporated, and a cage (6) suitable for accommodating the respective objects (2), which cage (6) has four side walls (7.sub.1 to 7.sub.4) extending perpendicular to one another and a base (8) arranged between them, the cage (6) should be able to be connected to the support frame (4) as quickly as possible and at the same time a reliable and permanent operative connection between the cage (6) and the support frame (4) should be achieved. This is made possible by the fact that an adapter (11) is provided between the support frame (4) and the cage (6), which adapter (11) has a holding pedestal (12) projecting in the direction of the support frame (4), the holding pedestal (12) can be inserted into one of the accommodation openings (5) of the support frame (4) and locked therein, and the adapter (11) is made up of four support arms (13.sub.1, 13.sub.2, 13.sub.3, 13.sub.4) which are perpendicular to one another and by means of which a rectangular inner space (14) is formed in which the cage (6) can be inserted and is fixed by at least two undercuts which are formed respectively between two pairs of side walls (7.sub.1, 7.sub.2, 7.sub.3, 7.sub.4) of the cage (6) and the support arms (13.sub.1, 13.sub.2, 13.sub.3, 13.sub.4)of the adapter (11).
