A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has at least one track supported by each side of the container. The container has at least one lockable crossbar assembly extending between opposed tracks. Each lockable crossbar assembly has one or more locking assemblies to fix the position of the lockable crossbar assembly relative to the tracks.

A pallet includes base members, connecting bars, and a loading plate. The connecting bars secure the base members to form a pallet frame. The loading plate is fixed on the pallet frame. The size of the pallet can be adjusted in length and width so as to be adjusted freely and conveniently according to practical requirements. Consequently, the cost for manufacturing the pallet can be reduced. In addition, when one base member is damaged or missing, the damaged or missing base member can be replaced by a new base member. Therefore, the pallet can be used for more times, allowing the cost reduction in manufactory. Furthermore, the base members and the connecting bars are connected with each other to form the pallet frame which is rigid and has high structural strength, such that the pallet frame would not deform and is safe when used for handling and transporting materials.

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.

In one embodiment, a maintainable pallet is provided with interchangeable support structures and sensors for identifying any damage that the interchangeable support structures may experience. The maintainable pallet may include two side supports, two end supports coupled to the two side supports end-to-end to form a rectangle, a central support position between the two side supports, a plurality of top transverse support fastened onto the two side supports to form a top loading surface and the central support with two-part releasable fasteners, and two bottom transverse supports fastened to the ends of the two side supports to form a bottom surface with two-part releasable fasteners. Sensors, in some embodiments, may be embedded in the two side supports to measure, for example, acceleration, location, or other logistic information. When a damaged piece is identified, the maintainable pallet can be disassembled by unfastening the two-part releasable fasteners to remove the damaged piece; and a new interchangeable piece will replace the damaged piece.

The present invention discloses a composite ribbed expanded polystyrene pallet and a manufacturing method thereof, comprising a body and a base support, said base support clads the sides and bottom of the body, said body is made of expanded polystyrene, said comprises a pallet platform and plural supporting feet. Through the above mentioned way, the present invention utilizes light-weight polystyrene to make the body, the surface is covered with a base support of high-strength engineering plastic film, and reinforcing ribs are additionally arranged inside the body through special process. The pallet of the present invention has good load bearing performance, economy and practicability. The logistics cost also can be reduced greatly. Therefore, the composite ribbed expanded polystyrene pallet and the manufacturing method thereof have broad market prospects in popularization.

A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has a body, slotted guides attached to opposite sides of the body, and a plurality of dunnage supports extending between the guides. Outer portions of the dunnage supports may have one or more narrowed or flattened portions which enable the dunnage supports to slide along the slots. Dunnage holding parts is suspended by the dunnage supports.

Assembled and combined pallet constitutes of supporting beams and skids wherein: the supporting beams are made of the hollow metal section bar and the supporting beams are equipped with the grooves along its length direction on the top; the skids are set with inserting blocks at the bottom in relation to the grooves on the top of the supporting beams and inserting blocks are inserted into the grooves along the length direction of the grooves; the supporting beam is set with a locating lever in relation to the inserting block of each skid, and the inserting block of each skid is set with a locking hole in relation to the locating lever and the locating level passes through the corresponding locking hole of the inserting block to lock the skid. The skid connection and supporting beam is reliable and the disassembly and assembly during the use is convenient and fast.

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.

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.

A heavy load carrier includes a base and four peripherally arranged side walls and at least one flap in a side wall, which can be folded outwards, a compulsory guide being provided for a translational movement of the flap when the flap swivels upwards.
