A system, method, and device for shipping, transporting, storing, and managing logistics of a variety of cargo. A crate is disclosed that allows for easy and inexpensive return shipment (reverse logistics) after use through a collapsible, interlocking system of a pallet base, foldable side wall assemblies, and a lid that can be removably connected to one another. The crate can utilize guide protrusions and corresponding guide recesses to fit the components together. The height of the crate can be increased by additional tiers of side walls. Latch assemblies can be utilized to fasten adjacent components together. The crate may include a tracking or monitoring device that can monitor one or more of humidity, temperature, tilt, impact, vibration, and variety of desired conditions. The system may include Bluetooth beacons on each of the components and a Bluetooth sensor in the monitoring device in the pallet base to monitor disassembled components.

A momentum arresting ramp that includes a plurality of steps that each includes a slider receiving surface and a transition surface. The steps may enable a device with wheels to be moved down the ramp by a user, without inconvenient gravity building momentum of the device down the ramp. For example, the steps may be spaced apart along a first axis such that a first slider of the device is never in contact with one of the transition surfaces when a second slider of the device is in contact with another one of the transition surfaces. The configuration of the steps and the sliders may enable the device (e.g., a device heavy enough to typically require two users to unload using a planar ramp) to be easily and conveniently unloaded by a single user.

A novel logistics system (1000) featuring a load carrier (100) and a cooperating superstructure (200) is proposed for transporting parcels. The load carrier has a deck (110) with a top load carrying surface (111) and a flank (112). The load carrier also has a plurality of locking protuberances (114) that extend from and are arranged spaced apart from one another on the load carrying surface (111) of the deck (110). The superstructure is a merchandising unit that is made of sheet material. The superstructure has first section (230) which is configured to extend from the load carrying surface (111) of the load carrier (100). The superstructure also has a plurality of receptive cavities (221) for receiving the respective plurality of locking protuberances (114) of the load carrier (100).

The invention relates to a side wall arrangement for a container and a method for the production thereof and a container, in particular a pallet container, which comprises several side walls (16) that can be connected to one another on their narrow sides assigned to one another of the side walls (16) by means of a joint (18) or are connected to one another, such that a closed ring (14) is formed from the side walls (16) that can be folded together, wherein a loading hatch (19) is provided on the at least one side wall (16), said loading hatch (19) closing an opening (27) in a closed position (22), said opening (27) being open towards an end edge (37) of the side wall (16), and wherein the loading hatch (19) is flexibly connected to the side wall (16) by means of a hinge (21), wherein side edges (42) of the loading hatch (19) which border it in terms of width and side edges (43) of the side wall (16) which border the opening (27) in the side wall (16) are reduced in terms of wall thickness relative to its adjacent wall sections (28, 29) of the side wall (16) and the loading hatch (19) on at least one side edge (43) of the side wall (16) or at least one side edge (42) of the loading hatch (19), at least one tab (31) is provided which extends beyond the opposite side edge (42, 43) of the loading hatch (19) or the side wall (16) and can be transferred into the open position (23) or closed position (22) when opening and closing the loading hatch (19) after overcoming a holding force produced by the tab (31) or after overcoming a holding force produced by corner regions (51) of the side wall (16) projecting into the opening (27) and, in the closed position (22), the side edge (42) is positioned in the upper corner region (52) of the loading hatch (19) between the side edge (43) of the side wall (16) and the tab (31) positioned in the side wall (16) or the side edge (43) is positioned in the upper corner region (51) of the side wall (16) between the side edge (42) of the loading hatch (19) and the tab (31) that is arranged on the loading hatch (19).

Disclosed herein is an aluminum assembly pallet. This includes a plurality of upper plates each having a predetermined length, a binding device coupled at an upper end thereof to a lower portion of each upper plate, with a sliding protrusion formed on a lower end of the binding device, and a middle plate disposed under each of the upper plates to be perpendicular thereto and assembled with the binding device. The middle plate includes a sliding groove formed to allow the sliding protrusion to be movable inwards in a longitudinal direction of the middle plate, a plurality of entrance holes formed in an upper end of the sliding groove to allow the sliding protrusion to go in and out, and a connecting hole connecting the entrance holes to each other and having a width that is smaller than a diameter of each of the entrance holes.

A passive locking system is used to attach molded plastic bottom and cover members to the bottom and top edges of a four-sided sleeve to create a container that can be handled by a forklift and knocked down for storage and/or return shipment. The locks comprise molded tabs and receiver slots and allow for easy attachment and removal of the sleeve to the bottom and top members without the need for tools or manipulation of slide latches. In the preferred embodiment, foldable clips are attached to the sleeve edges to provide tabs on the sleeve. The clip tabs enter into apertures in the outside rim of the pallet and cover only when the sleeve edges are fully inserted into the pallet and cover.
