A pallet system for shipping and storage of railing segments. The pallet system captures the corners of a plurality of railing segments, thereby diminishing the weight, footprint, and materials of construction requirements. In some embodiments, a plurality of the pallet systems can be stacked. The diminished size of the pallet system components after removal of the railing segments can be returned to the shipper in a refund exchange arrangement. In some embodiments, the plurality of railing segments is maintained in a fixed relationship using a spacer that is inserted laterally through the plurality of railing segments.

A pallet for transporting spacers for cigarette packs is disclosed, in which each spacer comprises a substantially rectangular flat body on which at least one through hole is obtained, the spacers being insertable in cartons for cigarette packs for spacing out packs with dimensions smaller than the standard dimensions, the pallet comprising vertical elements configured to insert the through holes of the spacers stacked on one another, the holes of the spacers of a stack being vertically aligned with each other so that each vertical element is inside the aligned holes of the spacers.

A support assembly includes a pallet table having an upper surface. A plurality of support members are configured to pass through a pallet positioned on the upper surface of the pallet table. Each support member includes a receiving surface that defines a portion of a channel extending across the support members.

A transport rack and/or storage rack for standing transport and/or standing storage of plate-shaped goods, such as windows or doors, includes at least two support elements. A standing strip is arranged on a first end of each of the support elements and is removably fastenable, resting on a floor plate. The support elements are connected to each other by at least one crossbar placed on the support elements and the standing strip is aligned perpendicularly to the crossbar. The support elements are single or multi-part plates, having two leaning edges approaching each other at an acute angle away from a base side arranged on the standing strip.

A pallet for transporting products thereon includes a top having a product support surface and an opposing underside, and with outer sides extending between the product support surface and the opposing underside. The top includes a hand access hole extending through the top and located at a center of gravity of the pallet. Four feet each extend away from the underside of the top. Each foot has a first opening facing out through the product supporting surface for allowing stacking of such pallets.

A support assembly for constructing and staging a pipeline for installation in a trench. The support assembly includes one or more stacks of support segments. A support segment for the support assembly. Method of using and making the support segments.

Equipment for the logistics of slab-shaped articles comprises supply line(s) of slab-shaped article(s) and outlet line(s) of the slab-shaped article(s); robotic gripping assembly(s) of the slab-shaped article(s) provided with at least three degrees of freedom and positioned between the supply line(s) and the outlet line(s); first movement device/unit/component/etc. of the gripping assembly(s) along a direction(s) of movement; where the supply line(s) and said outlet line(s) are substantially aligned to each other along the direction(s) of movement. Equipment also comprises temporary storage stations of the slab-shaped article(s) arranged laterally to the gripping assembly and substantially aligned to each other to define at least one row substantially parallel to the direction of movement, wherein the gripping assembly(s) picks the slab-shaped article(s) coining from the supply line(s); positions the slab-shaped article(s) on the storage station(s); and picks the slab-shaped article(s) from the storage station(s) and bring it to the outlet line(s).

A releasable paperboard chock assembly is provided comprising first and second paperboard chocks, each comprising a base, a back wall, and first and second side walls adjacent to the base. Each of the first and second side walls comprises an upper edge surface having a generally curved portion to conform to a curved surface of a roll to be secured. A paperboard sling extends between the first and second chocks comprising first and second ends joined to the first and second chocks, respectively.

A tire-wheel transport pallet having engaging parts engaging the lower circumferential edge section of the rims of a plurality of tire wheels, and a mounting surface on which the tire wheels lying sideways are arranged; a partition plate prevents a horizontal positional shift, and interposed between an upper and a lower level of the tire wheels, which are stacked on the mounting surface in a plurality of levels; a lid covering the uppermost level of the tire wheels, and having, on its bottom surface, a plurality of wheel-position-determining concavities engaging the upper circumferential edge section of the rims of the tire wheels. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the pallet has a plurality of legs projecting downward, and the top surface of the lid has a plurality of leg-position-determining concavities corresponding to the plurality of legs on the pallet, so to stack a plurality of units.

A packing body includes a bottom plate on which a packed body is placed, a box body that covers the packed body, and a restricting member, of which one end is fixed to the bottom plate and the other end protrudes toward a part of the packed body with a gap and that restricts lateral movement of the packed body by coming into contact with the part of the packed body in a case where the packed body has moved laterally, in which clearance between the restricting member and the part of the packed body is larger than a gap between an inner surface of the box body and the packed body, and the clearance is defined as a movement amount obtained by adding an elastic deformation amount of the restricting member in a case where the packing body has received a horizontal impact to the gap between the restricting member and the part of the packed body.
