The present invention relates to a metal cage (1) for a tank (2) comprising a base (3), a plurality of horizontal annular tubular elements (4, 4) and a plurality of vertical tubular elements (5) associated with the horizontal annular tubular elements (5) and to the base (3) so as to define a containment volume for a tank (2).

According to the invention, the upper portion (6) of the vertical tubular elements (5) is flattened and has a folded end (7), inclined with respect to the direction of longitudinal development of the vertical tubular element (5). Moreover, the upper horizontal peripheral tubular element (4) comprises a plurality of recesses (8) configured to house said folded ends (7) of the vertical tubular elements (5). These folded ends (7) are welded to the upper horizontal peripheral tubular element (4) at said recesses (8).

A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has guides containing generally L-shaped slotted tracks having horizontal and vertical portions. A plurality of dunnage supports extend between the tracks. Dunnage is suspended by the dunnage supports. The dunnage supports have narrowed portions engaged with the slotted tracks.

A frame and a pallet coaming box, the frame (100) comprising: two long side plates (10) and two groups of short side plates (20) opposite thereto, each group of short side plates (20) comprising two short side plates (21, 22), wherein the two short plates (21, 22) are capable of being folded over each other, and the long side plates (10) and the short side plates (21, 22) that are next to each other are capable of being folded over one another; one of the two short side plates (21, 22) being provided with at least one first engaging portion (211), and the other short side plate being provided with a second engaging portion (221) matching the first engaging portion; a locking device (30) being further arranged between the two short side plates (21, 22), the locking device (30) comprising an operating member (31), a locking member (32), and a locking structure (33) matching the locking member (32); the locking member (32) being mounted on a short side plate (21, 22), the locking structure (33) being arranged on the other short side plate (21, 22), and the operating member (31) operatively driving the locking member (32) to mutually lock or separately unlock with the locking structure (33) so as to lock or unlock the two short side plates (21, 22). The frame minimizes outward deformation of side plates caused by engagement, and improves stability of containers during loading, transporting or stacking.

An insulating container comprises a container body and a container cover connected to the container body. The container both and the container cover each comprises a frame and a plate arranged on the frame. The plate comprises, from inside out, an external high strength sheet, an extruded polystyrene sheet, phase-change insulating sheets made of phase-change material, and an internal sheet. A phase-change process of the phase-change insulating sheets cooperates with a refrigeration system of the transportation device to precisely control the temperature of the insulating container and a refrigerator truck to be near a phase-change temperature. In the present disclosure, the phase-change insulating sheets made of the phase-change material remain to be in a solid state before or after occurrence of a phase change, so that the structure of the insulating container does not change with the phase change and a leakage problem of the phase-change material does not exist.

Embodiments of devices, assemblies, and related methods for transporting glass panels, such as doors, are disclosed. One embodiment of a rack assembly includes a support rack and a first support wedge positioned at the support rack. The first support wedge includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first support wedge further includes a first surface extending between the first end and the second end as well as a second surface extending between the first end and the second end opposite the first surface. The second surface defines a plurality of support platform pairs. Each support platform pair includes a first platform at a first elevation relative to the first surface and a second platform at a second elevation relative to the first surface. The second elevation is different than the first elevation.

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 rack and a method of assembling the rack are disclosed that includes guard plates welded to right and left sides of a tubular frame. Each guard plate includes a fixed bushing. A locking bar pivots on pivot bushings provided on right and left swing arms. Right and left pins are assembled into one of the fixed and pivot bushings with a head of each pin contacting one pivot bushing, and a shaft of each pin being welded to the fixed bushing.

An apparatus and method for packaging and transportation of a preformed wrapping sheet is disclosed and claimed herein. One implementation of the technology as disclosed herein includes a method and apparatus for packaging and transportation of preformed wrapping sheets including Pre-Formed Plant Covers commonly referred to as a Pot Cover involving clear tubing constructed of a pliable material, including clear plastic tubing or other pliable material, and transportation storage racks assembled from substantially rigid pallets, including plastic pallets or other substantially rigid material, and corner boards, commonly known as beads.

A dunnage support assembly for a transportation or storage container may include pair of panels each defining a channel at a top end thereof, the panels being configured to be received within a transportation or storage container with a top edge of one side wall thereof received within the channel of one panel such that the panel is supported on and by the one side wall, and with a top edge of another side wall thereof received within the channel of the other panel such that the other panel is supported on and by that side wall. One or more elongated support rails are secured to the each panel and oriented to be substantially parallel with the channels, and the support rails are configured to support a plurality of dunnage pouches therebetween and slidable relative thereto.
