A first pallet includes a deck and a peripheral wall extending downward from a periphery of the deck. A plurality of feet extend downward from the deck. Each of the feet includes a foot wall defining its periphery. An outer portion of each foot wall is coterminous with the peripheral wall of the deck. The deck includes an opening aligned with each of the plurality of feet. A second, wider pallet may be used with the first pallet. The second pallet may be stacked on the first pallet and vice versa. In the second pallet, the outer portion of the wall of each of the feet is spaced inward from the peripheral wall of the deck, such that the deck of the second pallet is wider than the deck of the first pallet, but the spacing and size of the feet of both decks are identical.

A bin assembly includes a container and a pallet. The container has a base and sidewalls that extend upwardly and outwardly from the base. The base includes a centrally disposed alignment means and at least one spaced apart locking portion. The pallet includes a centrally disposed alignment means that is complementary to the container alignment means and at least one spaced apart locking mechanism disposed on the pallet and that is complementary to the at least one spaced apart locking portion. The at least one spaced apart locking mechanism is configured to engage or disengage the at least one spaced apart locking portion upon relative rotation between the container and the pallet to respectively lock or unlock the pallet and the container.

A shipping tray for a bench system and method of use are provided. The shipping tray may include a front support, rear support, first side support, and second side support. The shipping tray may further include a first front holder, a second front holder, a third front holder, a first rear holder, a second rear holder, and a third rear holder, all configured to receive one of a plurality of legs of a bench. The shipping tray may further include a central brace, a first X-brace, and a second X-brace. There may be a network of ribbing on the underside of the shipping tray. The shipping tray may be used for stacking a bench, or multiple benches, onto the shipping tray. The shipping tray may also be stacked on top of another shipping tray.

A pallet 1 for carrying a load and be lifted by tines of a forklift is disclosed. The pallet 1 comprises a planar deck 10 for receiving a load thereon and a chassis below the deck for supporting the deck. The chassis comprises a plurality of hollow beams 112 of constant quadrilateral cross section in a grid formation to act in bending to assist in pallet load support. The beams 112 span parallel to the plane of the deck 10 and each oriented with vertical sidewalls facing perpendicular to the plane of the deck 10 and horizontal sidewalls facing parallel to the plane of the deck 10. At each intersection of two beams of the grid a first of the two beams has both of its vertical sidewalls removed to allow a second of the two beams to pass through the first beam.

A part transporting pallet transports a part to a predetermined destination by a mobile carriage that includes a lifter which is configured for moving upwards and downwards in a vertical direction, and includes: a pallet body that forms at least one coupling hole which may be coupled with the lifter; and plurality of part aligning units have at least two position aligning pins that correctly position parts of different types on the pallet body, and are provided on the pallet body to vary the position of the position aligning pins according to the types of the parts.

A pallet for carrying an object. The pallet may include a receiving surface to support the object. The pallet may include a socket and may be part of a pallet assembly including a rotationally asymmetrical positioning rod operable to be selectively repositioned within the socket with a main body extending above the receiving surface to restrain a lateral movement of the object. The pallet may include a support frame to support the plurality of objects thereon. The support frame may including a plurality of post supports. The pallet may include a plurality of stacking post assemblies each including a first post having a bottom end pivotally secured to the support frame and a second post operable to move between an extended position engaged with the post support and the first post and a retracted positon engaged with only one of the post support and the first post.

A single deck pallet comprising a deck having a top for supporting a load and a bottom, at least four sides, the at least four sides comprising a first pair of opposed sides and a second pair of opposed sides. A plurality of intermediate spaced apart beams of the deck extending between at least a first pair of opposed sides. A plurality of distributed primary props dependent from the deck and projecting below the bottom of the deck to aid in supporting the pallet on a surface. Preferably the primary props are horizontally spaced apart from each other and from said at least one beam so as to allow a tine of a forklift to pass in a linear direction parallel to the at least one beam between adjacent primary props to reach at least partially under and bear on the bottom of the deck and bear on the beam.

A pallet (100) comprises a platform section (101) and foot sections (103-107) protruding downwards from the platform section. The pallet comprises at least one elongated support element (108) between opposite edge areas of the pallet and going via a lower portion of a foot section (107) that is between and distances away from the opposite edge areas of the pallet. The elongated support element is connected to the opposite edge areas of the pallet with connections (109, 110) for receiving tensile stress acting on the elongated support element. The tensile stress of the elongated support element is increased in response to downwards arching bending of the platform section. Thus, the elongated support element tends to prevent the bending of the platform section.

A pallet forming concrete mold assembly includes a bottom wall having a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge. The perimeter wall has a rectangular shape and the bottom wall has a length and width each is between 40.0 inches and 60.0 inches. A perimeter wall is attached to and extends upwardly from the perimeter edge. The perimeter wall includes a front wall, a rear wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall. The top side of the bottom wall has a pair of raised sections extending from the front wall to the back wall. The raised sections form forklift slots in a concrete block formed by the bottom and perimeter walls. The raised sections are oriented parallel to each other
