A pallet includes a top including a product support surface and an opposing underside, with outer sides extending between the product support surface and the underside. Four feet each extend away from the underside of the top, and each foot has a first opening facing out through the product supporting surface of the top. The feet thus allow stacking of such pallets with the feet of a first such pallet extending into the first openings of a second such pallet. Product tab receiving areas are for receiving respective product tabs, with each product tab receiving area having a slot within the top adjacent a respective outer side of the top. The slot has a pair of spaced apart opposing long sidewalls and a pair of spaced apart opposing short sidewalls adjacent to the pair of long sidewalls, with one of the long sidewalls including a laterally extending tongue for engaging an opening in one of the product tabs.

The invention relates to a plastic pallet (1) with an upper part (2) provided with female foot parts (4, 4) and skids (3, 3) provided with male foot parts (5, 5). The male foot parts (5, 5), together with the female foot parts (4, 4), form feet (21, 21), with the foot parts (4, 4) of the upper part and the foot parts (5, 5) of the skids (3 3) being fastened to one another by means of snap connections (6). Each male foot part (5, 5) includes at least two snap hooks (8), which are arranged with mirror symmetry in pairs and which each have a hook head (9) with undercut (91), a snap arm (8) and a rear side (10), the undercuts (9) of the hook heads (9) facing away from one another and the rear sides (10) of the snap hooks (8) facing towards one another. Each female foot part (4, 4) includes at least one latch element (7), into which the hook heads (9) are engaged, forming a snap connection (6) in each case. The female foot parts (4, 4) are integrally connected to the upper part (2). Each female foot part (4, 4) includes at least one securing element (12), each with at least one free end (13), the securing element (12) being integrally connected to the female foot part (4, 4), and the securing element (12) protruding into an intermediate space (24) between the rear sides (10) of the snap hooks (8) so that the snap hooks (8) remain in the engaged position.

A skid configured to support a platform. The skid includes first and second attachment portions configured to attach to a lower deck of the platform, a support portion having a supporting surface, the supporting surface configured to support the skid on a surface, a first leg extending from the first attachment portion and connecting the first attachment portion to the support portion, a second leg extending from the second attachment portion and connecting the second attachment portion to the support portion, a space defined between the first leg, second leg and support portion and configured to provide a position of entry for receipt of a tine.

A pallet includes a top deck that includes a product support surface and an opposing underside, and with the product support surface including a pair of pallet support leg receiving areas. A pair of pallet support legs is on the underside of the top deck and aligned with the pallet support leg receiving areas. Each pallet support leg including a center leg section having a first end adjacent the underside of the top deck and a second end opposite the first end, and a pair of leg extensions extending outwards from the second end of the center leg section. An underside of the center leg section and the pair of leg extensions are configured to engage one of the pallet support leg receiving areas of an identical pallet when stacked thereon.

A reconfigurable pallet/dolly platform includes a top deck that includes a product support surface and an opposing underside. The underside includes pallet support leg attachment areas for receiving pallet support legs when configured as a pallet, and dolly wheel attachment areas for receiving dolly wheels when configured as a dolly. The product support surface includes pallet support leg receiving areas aligned with the pallet support leg attachment areas and configured to engage the pallet support legs from an identical platform stacked thereon when configured as a pallet. The product support surface also includes dolly wheel receiving areas aligned with the dolly wheel wells and configured to engage the dolly wheels from an identical platform stacked thereon when configured as a dolly.

The outlet of a flowable material container has a flow cutoff device, which is slidably supported in a frame assembly that comprises two, spaced apart perforated side rails and a perforated end rail. No accumulation shield is used.

A method, system, apparatus, or device to support or move objects. The apparatus may include a substrate and a rib structure. The rib structure may be disposed at an interior portion of the substrate. The rib structure may include a first chamber extending downwardly from a first plane to a second plane. A wall of the first chamber may taper inwardly to form a first inverted dome. The rib structure may include a second chamber extending downwardly from the first plane to the second plane to form a second inverted dome. A wall of the second chamber may taper inwardly to form a first inverted dome.

A pallet module configured to allow formation of a nested pallet assembly of at least two similar pallet modules, including a main structural body having a generally quadrilateral peripheral border with first to fourth lateral sides, first and second lateral flanges extending outwardly from the peripheral border along the first and second lateral sides and configured to cooperate with first and second lateral grooves extending inwardly from the peripheral border along the third and fourth lateral sides of another similar pallet module to form the nested pallet assembly, a foot structure disposed on a lower side of the main structural body, and first and second toggle latch components arranged in the vicinity of the first and second lateral sides, respectively, configured to cooperate and releasably interlock with third and fourth toggle latch components arranged in the vicinity of the third and fourth lateral sides, respectively, of another similar pallet module.

Composite pallets and methods for making and using composite pallets are disclosed. An example composite pallet may include a base layer. The base layer may include a first base board, a second base board, and a cross-member extending between the first base board and the second base board. The cross-member may include a first end region designed to be detachably coupled to the first base board, a second end region designed to be detachably coupled to the second base board, and at least one curved section positioned between the first end region and the second end region. The cross-member may include a polymer. An intermediate layer may be coupled to the base layer. The intermediate layer may include a plurality of intermediate boards. A top layer may be coupled to the intermediate layer. The top layer may include a plurality of top boards.

A plastic pallet comprising a deck for storing objects to be transported, feet which are formed protruding from a deck underside, and runners which are formed in each case connecting at least two feet to each other on their undersides. The plastic pallet also comprises at least one stiffening structure which comprises lower side rails arranged in the runners, and upper side rails arranged spaced apart therefrom, which are arranged above the lower side rails running parallel thereto. The stiffening structure comprises rungs, each with a predominantly closed surface, which connect the lower side rails in the feet to the upper side rails. The rungs are formed in one piece on the side rails or are connected thereto in each case via contact surfaces in bonded, friction-locking or form-locking manner. As such, the pallet bending stiffness and shear strength in a plane parallel to the deck upper side are increased.
