A pallet includes a top deck having a rectangular shape, a bottom deck having a rectangular shape, and spaced apart corner support blocks and spaced apart intermediate support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks and forming a gap therebetween for receiving a lifting member. Centerline markings are carried by at least one of the top deck, the bottom deck, and the corner and intermediate support blocks so as to provide a visual aid to an operator of the lifting member.

The disclosure refers to a container for storing and providing at least one modular road paver assembly designed for detachable mounting on a road paver. The container comprises a storage system by means of which individual components of the road paver assembly can be positioned within the container in a standardized arrangement, such that the components of the road paver assembly can be checked for completeness by an operator by means of a visual inspection along a sequence determined between opposite boundaries of the container in view of their assembly sequence on the road paver.

A cage can be positioned around a medical balloon, such as an angioplasty balloon, to assist in a medical procedure. The cage can include a plurality of strips, each extending between a set of rings including first and second rings. As the balloon expands, the first and second rings move closer together and allow the strips to expand outward. The cage may have wedge dissectors on the strips.

A pallet top deck, a bottom deck, and spaced apart support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks. Each support block includes an inner wall surrounding an interior opening, an outer wall surrounding the inner wall, and a plurality of ribs extending between the inner and outer walls. A first plurality of upper tabs extend outwards from upper surfaces of the inner wall and the plurality of ribs, with each tab comprising an angled contact surface for engaging top deck tab openings in an underside of the top deck. A second plurality of upper tabs extend outwards from the upper surfaces of the inner wall and the plurality of ribs, with each tab comprising an angled contact surface for engaging the top deck tab openings. The angled contact surfaces of the first and second plurality of upper tabs face away from each other.

Pallet made of plastic, with a cover plate (2) for holding objects and with at least two, preferably three skids (4) arranged below the cover plate, which are arranged parallel to each other and parallel to a pallet edge (6) and each with a skid standing surface (12), at the ends of which an angled support leg-like skid member (10) is arranged from the skid base in the direction of the cover plate, the skid base surface (12) being arranged at a distance from the cover plate by the skid support members (10) and support feet (8) arranged therebetween is detachably connected to the latter, the skids (4) each being formed from at least two, preferably one-piece skids (4a, 4b) which together form a skid of the pallet each releasably connectable to the cover plate (2) and which are in the position mounted on the cover plate.

A modular pallet system utilizes a plurality of modular pallets that are configured to engage along sides of the pallet to form an interconnected array of coupled pallets that may be moved by a pallet truck and wherein the individual pallets are configured for detachment and transport with a hand-truck. A quad array of coupled pallets may be formed that is about a conventional pallet size and configured to receive the two forks of a fork truck into fork truck openings. One of the modular pallets of the quad array of coupled pallets may be disengaged or disconnected by use of a hand-truck, wherein the tongue of the hand-truck extends in the fork truck opening between the feet of a pallet and engages with hand-truck notches configured on feet. An interconnecting feature of a modular pallet may include a dovetail and dovetail recess.

Method and apparatus for a material handling attachment being generally rectangular having left and right tubular main frame members for receiving the corresponding left and right lifting forks of a forklift truck. The tubular main frame members are supported by front and rear cross members and a floor is formed of expanded metal placed on an upper surface of the material handling attachment. The material handling attachment has a downwardly extending pad eye lifting lug at each corner for attaching a downwardly extending first strap having connecting means on its ends for attachment to a second strap which directly carries a cargo load or which passes through the opening formed in a pallet so that the pallet having heavy cargo thereon can be easily lifted using the forklift truck. The material handling attachment allows the cargo load or pallet to be lifted directly off the ground and moved about so that it can then be lowered onto the bottom floor of a cargo vehicle so that a pallet passes over the walls of the cargo vehicle.

A pallet with wheels and braking system, that can be interlocked with other pallets. The pallet has wheels underneath that allow the pallet to move in all directions. The pallet's braking system slows and stops the wheels on the pallet. There is interlocking connection capabilities on all four sides of the pallet that interlocks and connects multiple pallets together, and synchronizes the interlocked pallet's braking systems. There is also forklift access on all four sides of the pallet that allows the forklift to push, pull or lift the pallet, and operate the pallet's braking and interlocking systems. The pallet further includes corner bumpers to protect pallet, load stabilizers that prevent pallet from moving during transit, shelf rack bars that are installed or extended for additional support of goods and shelving, and wheel insets that prevent wheels from moving when pallets are stacked.

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.
