The Self-Stacking SPACE Platform is an enclosure for safe storage and transportation of packaged goods or products used in logistic industries which eliminates the need of conventional pallets made up of wood or plastic and provides more stability, safety, and expanded utilization of space, referred to as density within the transportation vehicles, containers and storage warehouses, allowing more goods or products being stored or transported compared to present pallets. The Self-Stacking SPACE Platforms of present invention is stackable up to 4 high which is further comprised of: a rectangular base frame having a removable flooring sheet made of a light weight material such as plastic; a corner support member welded at each corner of the base frame to insert and secure at least one corner upright member to form a structure that behaves as a box like frame to enclose the goods or merchandise placed on the SPACE platform and also behaves as a pillars while stacking two or more platforms together. The SPACE platforms of present invention further includes plurality of forklift slots configured to allow lifting of the platform using any conventional forklift; a strap loop for strapping two or more SPACE platforms when stacked together; and a forklift shield provided to prevent damage to the goods or merchandise in case a fork of the forklift misses the forklift slot.

In at least one embodiment, an apparatus for securing boxes on a pallet may a structural member sized to run a length or a width of a pallet, the structural member having a top side and a bottom side. The structural member may be L-shaped. The structural member allows for securing a load on the pallet. The structural member also provides additional surface area for plastic wrap to secure a load. The structural member may have tabs that fit within the recesses between planks of a pallet. In various embodiments, the structural member and tabs may be formed as a single composite structure.

A pallet including a pallet deck supported along a base plane. The pallet deck defines a load support surface within a given perimeter. The load support surface includes at least a tapered portion which tapers in increasing height relative to the base plane from a tapered portion inner perimeter to a tapered portion outer perimeter such that the load support surface has a concave configuration.

Disclosed is a multiple seat shipping container (100) that includes a bottom base structure (101) configured to attach one or more first seats (120), a forward wall (103) with a lower portion (103a) pivotally attached to a forward side of the bottom base structure, a top wall (104) pivotally attached to an upper portion (103b) of the forward wall, the top wall configured to attach one or more second seats (121), and a rear wall (105) attached to a rear side of the bottom base structure. The multiple seat shipping container is configured to fold into a box shape configuration such that the one or more second seats are suspended from the top wall adjacent to the one or more first seats.

An apparatus for storing and/or for transporting, in particular, flat parts, including a storage device, which has a floor or floor sections, and a dividing structure, through which individual compartments lying alongside each other can be formed inside of the storage device where the floor or floor sections can be adjusted in height relative to the dividing structure and, for this purpose, the dividing structure has preferably delimiting elements between individual compartments of the storage device, where openings are configured in the delimiting elements and a lifting device is, for instance, provided for raising and/or lowering the floor, so that the parts between the delimiting elements are raised or lowered.

A buffer member has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. There is a buffer structure located on the first surface, and there is a slant located on the second surface for guiding a movement of an object relative to the buffer member. A package including the buffer member is provided therein.

The present invention provides a system for stacking, storing, and loading metal sheets. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a pallet which includes multiple posts that allow alignment of sheets of material on the pallet. Preferably, the pallet further includes posts which include stacking bells which allow the pallets to stack together while preventing damage to loaded materials. In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pallets may be stored in a specially designed rack.

A shock pallet assembly allows transport or movement of tall rack-mounted information handling systems (IHSes) without tipping. The shock pallet assembly can resiliently, manually or automatically retract for placement near a wall of a transport conveyance to achieve a greater shipping density of IHSes. The shock pallet assembly can include a bottom structure having a pair of parallel apertures to receive tines of a forklift. Resilient padding is positioned on a top surface of the bottom structure to provide shock dampening. A top deck is attached on top of the resilient padding and bottom structure to form a shock pallet that receives a racked-mounted IHS for transport and movement. An anti-tip mechanism can be attached to a lateral side of the shock pallet to prevent tipping of the rack-mounted IHS.

Improved equipment bases and methods for making and using same are disclosed herein. The equipment base can include a first coated substrate including a first part having a first thickness sized to provide the load-bearing support for the equipment, a first elastomer coating the first part, a second coated substrate positioned adjacent to the first coated substrate, the second coated substrate including a second part having a second thickness sized to provide the load-bearing support for the equipment, and a second elastomer coating the second part. A first seam can be formed between the first and second coated substrates to allow for moisture to pass between the first and second coated substrates so that moisture is allowed to seep away from the bottom of the equipment.

A pallet assembly including a plurality of trays separated by supports is provided. Each of the supports includes a rectangular portion and a wing portion. The wing portion is formed from two layers of materials connected together by a locking tab or other suitable structures. The wing portion can include a first portion and a second portion at an angle with respect to the first portion. A tab can be used to facilitate placing the first portion of the wing at the angle with respect to the second portion of the wing.
