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.

The invention relates to a mounting ring for a transport container (11), which can be arranged between a base (12) and a lid (16) of the transport container, having at least two ring sections (18, 19) which form a closed mounting ring (14) having several side walls (15), wherein each ring section (18, 19) comprises at least one side wall section (23, 24, 31, 32), which in each case has an upper and lower front surface (33, 34), and a front edge (37) extends at the respective end of the ring section (18, 19) between the upper and lower front surface (33, 34), said front edge forming a connection point (22) with an opposite front edge (37) of an adjacent ring section (18, 19), wherein the opposite front edges (37) of the side wall sections (23, 24, 31, 32) of the ring sections (18, 19) are connected to a retaining profile (21) to form a common side wall (15).

A pallet cover and transport container includes a container body having a top end, a plurality of side walls, and an interior space. The bottom end of the container is open to the interior space and includes complementary dimensions to a shipping pallet. A first plurality of grooves are disposed along the bottom end of the side walls at locations complementary to the side channels of the shipping pallet. Connectors are disposed along the side walls to removably secure the container to a pallet. The connectors including a sliding shaft having an aperture for receiving a lock. A second plurality of grooves are disposed along the closed top end of the container body to allow the container to be used while inverted and transported by a forklift.

A foldably constructed pallet includes a top member forming a top surface of the foldably constructed pallet and a bottom member forming a bottom surface of the foldably constructed pallet. The bottom member includes, extending from the bottom surface, a plurality of outer sidewalls, and a plurality of internal sidewalls. An outer sidewall of the plurality of outer sidewalls and an internal sidewall of the plurality of internal sidewalls cooperate to define a cradle configured to hold a structural insert such that folded panels of the structural insert may be engaged with each of the outer sidewall and the internal sidewall. The top member may be connected to the bottom member and covering the cradle.
