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.

A transport rack 1 for fixing a receptacle 101 in a transport container 102, the transport rack 1 comprising a plurality of interconnected frame elements 2 arranged in such a way as to form a receiving space 11 for the receptacle 101 disposed therein, the transport rack 1 further comprising a movable fixing means 3 for fixing the receptacle 101 disposed in the receiving space 11.

The present invention relates to a portable barrel rack. The portable barrel rack allows for storage and transportation of multiple barrels with the weight of each barrel being supported by the rack. Racks have lower and upper rectangular frames of different construction, with posts therebetween, and with legs and matching contours so that racks can be stacked. Slats inserted into grooves can retain barrels contained within the racks.

A cover assembly for a dunnage container may include elongated first and second rails affixed to or integral with the container and extending along opposite edges of an opening thereto, first and second cover panels each configured to extend between the first and second rails over at least a portion of the opening and to slide along a parallel paths defined longitudinally along the first and second rails such that the cover panels can slidingly overlay one another, and a flexible panel affixed to and between opposing sides of the cover panels. The flexible panel is redirectable in response to sliding of either or both of the cover panels toward the other to trap the flexible panel therebetween as one overlays the other, and also in response to sliding of either or both of the cover panels away from the other to extend the flexible panel therebetween.

A modular shipping skid for an engine is provided. The skid includes a base sized to receive an engine thereon, at least one alignment member projecting from the base, and a plurality of vertically extending support members extending from the base. The skid includes a fixture plate having an opening to fit a profile of the at least one alignment member and secure the fixture plate onto the base. The engine is mounted to a fixture on the fixture plate, and different fixture plates are provided with different fixtures to accommodate different sized engines on the same base.

The invention is directed to a universal top cap having structure for securely mating with and supporting a pallet, or a steel mesh container or a collapsible container. The top cap includes an upper support surface having an upwardly extending lip structure along a perimeter of the upper surface. The upper surface is also provided with recesses and protrusions which enable the top cap to mate with the various items.

A pallet that is stackable in an up-down direction in which upper end portions of a plurality of columns of a pallet disposed in a lower stage are inserted into inserted portions provided in lower end portions of columns of a pallet disposed in an upper stage. A height of at least one column is higher than heights of other columns.

A re-usable, returnable, stackable, modular shipping base incorporates replaceable components to make the base relatively quick and cost effective to repair. The shipping base is formed from a number of stamped or cut sheet materials (e.g., sheet metal) that are then folded and attached to one another using a tab system. When a component is damaged, the damaged component may be removed from the base and replaced with another mass produced, stamped sheet material component. Components are attached to one another via adhesive, stitch welding, skip welding, spot welding, or any other applicable process. Some components (e.g., a center support) may also be assembled using a tab (from the center support) and slot (in a deck pan) system.
