The container (10) has a lid structure (18) comprising two lid panels (20t) and (20f). The first lid panel (20t) forms at least a part of the top wall (14). The second lid panel 20f forms at least part of one of the side walls (16d). When the container (10) is in the erected condition the lid structure (18) can have one of, and be moved between, a: closed configuration; top load configuration; and, trout load configuration. The front load configuration has two variants. In a first front load configuration the first and second lid panels (20t and (20f) remain connected to each other and are moved so that they are in a substantial face to face relationship. In the second front load configuration the second lid panel (20f) is pivoted to lie on top of the first lid panel (20t).

A casing for transporting a communication rack that includes a bottom plate, four side walls, a top side, and a securing mechanism that includes front and back beams and right and left brackets. Each beam has left and right ends with horizontal holes and each bracket has front and back ends with pieces with threaded hole. The front beam is connected onto a top side of the front margin of the bottom plate and the back beam is connected onto a top side of a back margin of the bottom plate.

A pallet comprises a deck. The deck comprises a product supporting surface and one or more load bearing features. The load bearing features are configured to receive lateral projections of support members.

The present invention provides a thinner, movable load bearing structure having 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 load bearing structure may be a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.

A container includes a base, a folding sleeve and a lid. The sleeve includes several panels configured to be folded and laid out on the base such that the panels extend approximately parallel to the base, and to be unfolded and placed on the base such that the panels extend approximately perpendicular to the base, bearing through lower edges of the panels on the base, the lid being capable of bearing on top edges of the panels when the sleeve is unfolded and placed on the base. The container includes at least one band of flexible material that is fixed to the lid at at least two distant points, and that passes through an orifice in at least one of the panels, the lid configured to be guided by the at least one band when the container is opened, by sliding of the band in the orifice over at least part of the length of the band between said two points.

A packaging system includes an inner box and an outer box. The inner box is adapted to receive items to be transported and has a base, a side wall and a lid. The outer box is adapted to house the inner box and has a base, a side wall and a lid. The base and the lid of the outer box are adapted to form a flat pack that houses a folded-down form of the inner box and of the side wall of the outer box for transport within the flat pack. The folded-down form of the inner box can be removed from the flat pack and assembled to form the inner box. The folded down form of the side wall of the outer box can be removed from the flat pack and assembled together with the base and the lid of the outer box to form the outer box.

This application concerns a frame for a pump package for connecting to a liquid storage tank, the frame comprising a mounting frame portion and a transport frame portion. The mounting frame portion has an installation side for securing the mounting frame portion to the outside of a liquid storage tank and a mounting side for securing a pump package to the mounting frame portion. The transport frame portion has one or more lifting points for lifting the pump package when secured to the mounting frame portion. Together, the mounting frame portion and the transport frame portion form an enclosed space for containing the pump package when the mounting frame portion and the transport frame portion are attached.

Sleeve pallet 10 is constructed from corrugate are disclosed. The sleeve pallet 10 includes a series of stringers 12 secured to an upper deck 14 and/or collar 16. When bonded to an upper deck 14, the upper deck 14 is bonded to and supports a collar 16. The collar 16 defines a peripheral flange 40. The peripheral flange 40 retains a sleeve over the collar 16 and/or upper deck 14 of the sleeve pallet 10. A cap 60 can be provided to cover and retains goods within the cavity 82 defined by the sleeve pallet 10. Before assembly, the flange 40 of the collar 16, the sleeve 18, and, when used, the cap 60 may be secured together by straps in a collapsed configuration.

A vacuum container for containing perishable items in controlled, reduced pressure, atmospheric conditions is provided. The vacuum container includes a section of generally cylindrical pipe open at both ends and formed of a plastic material. A first end cap is detachably secured to one end of the pipe to form a vacuum resistant seal between the first end cap and the pipe. A second end cap detachably secured to the other end of the pipe to form a vacuum resistant seal between the second end cap and the other end of the pipe. Preferably, the pipe and end caps are all formed of a plastic material capable of withstanding the pressures created when a high vacuum is formed in the chamber.

The container has a lid structure comprising two lid panels. The first lid panel forms at least a part of the top wall. The second lid panel forms at least part of one of the side walls. When the container is in the erected condition the lid structure can have one of, and be moved between, a closed configuration; top load configuration; and, front load configuration. The front load configuration has two variants. In a first front load configuration the first and second lid panels remain connected to each other and are moved so that they are in a substantial face to face relationship. In the second front load configuration the second lid panel is pivoted to lie on top of the first lid panel.
