A pallet assembly includes an upper portion including an upper deck and a plurality of upper column portions extending downward from the upper deck. A lower portion includes a plurality of lower column portions extending upward and a plurality of runners connecting the plurality of lower column portions. An upper reinforcement member is between an upper surface of the lower column portions and a lower surface of the upper deck. A lower reinforcement member between a lower surface of the upper column portions and an upper surface of the runners.

A pallet includes a top deck, a bottom deck, and spaced apart support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks. Each support block includes an outer block having an open top surface exposing an inner block receiving area therein, and an inner block inserted into the inner block receiving area of the outer block.

A pallet includes a top deck, a bottom deck, and spaced apart support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks. Each support block includes an inner block and an outer block joined together. The outer block has an open top surface exposing an inner block receiving area therein, and includes a bottom surface, and first and second pairs of opposing outer block side surfaces between carried by the bottom surface. Each opposing outer block side surface has a pocket opening therein for also exposing the inner block receiving area. The inner block is inserted into the inner block receiving area of the outer block, and includes first and second pairs of opposing inner block side surfaces. Each opposing inner block side surface is aligned with a pocket opening in a corresponding outer block side surface so as to form a pocket by covering the pocket opening.

A method of transporting storage components includes the step of aligning a pallet that has a plurality of cavities that extend through the pallet on a fixture that has a plurality of plugs that each correspond to a location of the plurality of cavities that extend through the pallet. A wheel is aligned on a dolly with one of the cavities in the pallet. The wheel is supported on the dolly with the plug on the fixture. The pallet is separated from the fixture such that the wheel on the dolly becomes recessed in a corresponding one of the cavities in the pallet.

A pallet for transporting cargo on an inclined conveyer belt with a surface texture including a plurality of recesses. The pallet comprises an upper surface for supporting the cargo and a bottom side supported by the included conveyer belt. The bottom side has a plurality of protrusions distributed across the area of the bottom side for engaging the plurality of recesses and arresting the pallet when the pallet is transported on the inclined conveyer belt.

The invention provides a stabilized load tray for supporting a load stack, the stabilized load tray comprising: a horizontal floor; vertical side walls connected to the floor; a top connected to the side walls; and a deployable lip connected to the top, wherein the deployable lip can be folded from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position adjacent the load stack.

In an automatic test system, a test computer of a kind of test equipment communicates with a loading-and-unloading computer of a kind of loading-and-unloading equipment. The loading-and-unloading equipment automatically loads a plurality of target devices on a plurality of test carriers according to the state of the test equipment, and the test equipment automatically tests the target devices loaded on the test carriers according to the state of the loading-and-unloading equipment. In addition, after the test is completed, the loading-and-unloading equipment automatically unloads the tested target devices from the test carriers, and automatically sorts the tested target devices according to the test results generated by the test equipment.

The present disclosure is directed to the transport of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items to one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces. The present disclosure is also directed to the holding of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items during transport to one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces. The present disclosure is also directed to the holding of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items on one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces.

A pallet includes an upper portion which includes an upper surface. A plurality of columns extend downwardly from the upper portion. A plurality of channels extend across the upper surface of the upper portion. A plurality of cavities form openings through the upper portion and a corresponding one of the plurality of columns. The plurality of cavities are aligned with at least one of the plurality of channels.
