The invention relates to a mounting ring for a transport container (11), which can be arranged between a base (12) and a lid (16) of the transport container, having at least two ring sections (18, 19) which form a closed mounting ring (14) having several side walls (15), wherein each ring section (18, 19) comprises at least one side wall section (23, 24, 31, 32), which in each case has an upper and lower front surface (33, 34), and a front edge (37) extends at the respective end of the ring section (18, 19) between the upper and lower front surface (33, 34), said front edge forming a connection point (22) with an opposite front edge (37) of an adjacent ring section (18, 19), wherein the opposite front edges (37) of the side wall sections (23, 24, 31, 32) of the ring sections (18, 19) are connected to a retaining profile (21) to form a common side wall (15).

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.

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.

An improved cart and pallet system and an improved compactly stackable pallet for use in the system are disclosed. The improved pallet has a central support extending beneath the pallet with channels on either side of the support. The support and channels are engaged by a ledged, generally U-shaped deck of a cart or pallet truck of the application.

A pallet lift includes a pair of outer tines movable between an expanded position spaced outward away from inner tines and a retracted position adjacent the inner tines. The inner and outer tines are supported by wheels at locations spaced away from the lift mechanism. A pallet includes a plurality of nestable feet that open outwardly of the pallet to reduce the footprint. A second pallet includes a side wall extending downward from side edges of the pallet to define an opening adjacent outer feet.

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.

A system and method that provides for a crate consisting of main flooring section and additional side supports and horizontal beam bracing, that when assembled give the crate the rigidity to be stacked vertically, with multiple units on top of each other, with no other supporting structure. Safe lifting is ensured by fully enclosed fork pockets across the crate base. Safe stacking is ensured by using ISO shipping container casting, as part of the crate design along with top lug assembly to provide positive lateral restraint when stacked.

A pallet having excellent thermal insulation performance and cushioning property with respect to goods-conveyed while ensuring the strength of the outer surface of the pallet. The pallet includes a plate-like pallet body made of foamed resin, the plurality of legs provided on the bottom surface of the pallet body, and the resin sheet integrated from the bottom surface side of the pallet body by vacuum-forming. Further, the top surface of the pallet body includes the loading surface on which goods-conveyed are placed, and the step portion formed in a shape down-step from the outer peripheral edge of the loading surface to the side surface of the pallet body. The resin sheet covers the bottom surface of the pallet body, the legs, the side surface and the step portion of the pallet body, and the loading surface is not covered with the resin sheet.

In a device (1) for holding objects (2) consisting of: a plate-shaped support frame (4) in which a plurality of accommodation openings (5) are incorporated, and a cage (6) suitable for accommodating the respective objects (2), which cage (6) has four side walls (7.sub.1 to 7.sub.4) extending perpendicular to one another and a base (8) arranged between them, the cage (6) should be able to be connected to the support frame (4) as quickly as possible and at the same time a reliable and permanent operative connection between the cage (6) and the support frame (4) should be achieved. This is made possible by the fact that an adapter (11) is provided between the support frame (4) and the cage (6), which adapter (11) has a holding pedestal (12) projecting in the direction of the support frame (4), the holding pedestal (12) can be inserted into one of the accommodation openings (5) of the support frame (4) and locked therein, and the adapter (11) is made up of four support arms (13.sub.1, 13.sub.2, 13.sub.3, 13.sub.4) which are perpendicular to one another and by means of which a rectangular inner space (14) is formed in which the cage (6) can be inserted and is fixed by at least two undercuts which are formed respectively between two pairs of side walls (7.sub.1, 7.sub.2, 7.sub.3, 7.sub.4) of the cage (6) and the support arms (13.sub.1, 13.sub.2, 13.sub.3, 13.sub.4)of the adapter (11).

A pallet according to a first aspect of the present disclosure is a pallet that is stackable in an up-down direction in which upper end portions of a plurality of columns of a pallet disposed in a lower stage are inserted into inserted portions provided in lower end portions of columns of a pallet disposed in an upper stage. A height of at least one of the columns is higher than heights of the other columns.
