The present invention is to provide a plastic pallet with reinforcements with a great resistance to bending caused by the placing of mechanisms used for transport and storage thereof, such as those caused by racking load. Likewise, the present invention is to disclose a plastic pallet with reinforcements such as inserts, which support a larger load compared with the conventional pallets without substantially incrementing the total weight.

The invention relates to a detachable pallet which comprises a plurality of slides and a plurality of cross-members, wherein the slides comprise anchoring elements, both rigid stops and flexible stops, which contribute to attaching the cross-members to the slides, all in cooperation with tongues and grooves provided in the sides of the cross-members, which are inserted into one another creating a solid, robust joint and a complete load surface. The pallet can also have a tie rod joined to the bottom of the slides, securing same and providing greater robustness to the assembly, allowing it to be used on roller lines.

This application discloses a container. The container comprises a base, two pairs of opposite side plates and a lid. The two pairs of opposite side plates are both connected to the base. The lid can be locked to the top of the side plate via a locking device. Each of the four top corners of the container is provided with one locking device. The four locking device are arranged opposite to each other tin pairs along the corresponding diagonal of the lid, and each of the locking device includes one locking tongue member provided on the lid and one locking groove provided on the corresponding side plate. The locking tongue member has a locking tongue and is arranged to be movable relative to the lid so that the locking tongue is insertable into the locking groove to lock the lid to the side plate and is detachable from the locking groove to unlock the lid. Each of the locking grooves extends outwardly from the side plate along the corresponding diagonal direction of the lid. The lid of the container of the present application can be unlocked from any direction.

A pallet includes a top deck, a bottom deck, and spaced apart support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks and forming an opening therebetween for receiving a lifting member. The top deck includes at least one deck scoop area on an underside thereof. A thickness of the top deck is reduced in the at least one deck scoop area to reduce influence of top deck deflection on ability of the lifting member to pass through the opening between the top and bottom decks.

A pallet includes a top deck having an upper surface and an opposing lower surface. The top deck includes grommet openings extending therethrough, and grommets are inserted into the grommet openings. Each grommet includes an upper section having an outer exposed surface extending above the upper surface of the top deck, and at least one lower section having an outer exposed surface extending below the lower surface of the top deck.

Bins for storing and/or dispensing a material, such as preferably a flowable material. In some embodiments, the bin may comprise a body comprising an inner storage chamber configured to receive and store a flowable material therein. A forklift base may be coupled to the body and may comprise one or more pairs of forklift slots configured to receive forks of a forklift to allow the storage bin to be lifted and transported. A dispensing gate may be slidably positioned adjacent to a dispensing opening in the body to allow for positioning between a closed configuration in which the flowable material is blocked from being dispensed from the inner storage chamber and an open configuration in which the dispensing gate is moved away from the dispensing opening to allow the flowable material to exit the inner storage chamber.

A pallet cap includes a plurality of raised surfaces and a plurality of parallel channels separating the plurality of raised surfaces. The pallet cap is securable to an upper surface of a deck of a pallet. The plurality of raised surfaces may include a central raised area, and the plurality of parallel channels may include a pair of inner channels, such that the central raised area is between the pair of inner channels. The pair of inner channels and the central raised area may be between an outer ridge and an inner ridge. The inner ridge and the outer ridge may project upward higher than the pair of inner channels.

A composite pallet for the transport and long-term storage of barrels, comprising a base element made of plastic with a top side, an under side and support projections; a deck element made of plastic with a top side for storing the barrels; and a depositing area for holding a vertical barrel. The deck element has an under side and support projections resting on the base element support projections, and is supported against the base element; the deck element under side is at a distance from the base element top side. Support inserts made of a material with a creep modulus which is higher over a predefined period than a creep modulus of plastic, and the decrease in which is lower than that of plastic over the specified period, are locked into holders on the deck element under side and on the base element top side.

Bins for storing and/or dispensing a material, such as preferably a flowable material. In some embodiments, the bin may comprise a body comprising an inner storage chamber configured to receive and store a flowable material therein. A forklift base may be coupled to the body and may comprise one or more pairs of forklift slots configured to receive forks of a forklift to allow the storage bin to be lifted and transported. A dispensing gate may be slidably positioned adjacent to a dispensing opening in the body to allow for positioning between a closed configuration in which the flowable material is blocked from being dispensed from the inner storage chamber and an open configuration in which the dispensing gate is moved away from the dispensing opening to allow the flowable material to exit the inner storage chamber.

A pallet may include a base layer, an intermediate layer, two or more support blocks, and a top layer. The support blocks may be removably attached to the base layer and the intermediate layer such that the support blocks are positioned between the base layer and the intermediate layer. The base layer may include two or more base members, the intermediate layer may include two or more intermediate members and the top layer may include two top outside members, which all may be described as structural members. The structural members may include two or more ribs, may include fiber dispersed in a thermoplastic material, and may include a continuous fiber bundle within each rib.
