Packaging (1) for clock hands (2) with a pipe (4) and a body (5), including a pallet (10) for receiving, holding, storing and carrying hands (2) having the same height, including bores (11) for receiving the pipes (4) according to a constant pitch, adjacent to recesses (12) for housing the hand bodies (5) resting on an upper surface (13), each pallet (10) including a position index device (20), and a spacer (15) for cooperating such that it bears against a lower surface (14) of another pallet (10) and extending, from the upper surface (13), over a height which exceeds that of the hand bodies (5), each pallet (10) having a transverse bearing surface (130) for receiving the bearing surfaces (3) of the hands (2), and, parallel thereto, oblong pieces (131), the width whereof is adapted for the insertion of robotic grippers or tweezers for loading/unloading hands.

A pallet includes a lower panel, a plurality of feet, and a perimeter fault in the lower panel extending adjacent a perimeter of the lower panel. The pallet may also include a plurality of surrounding faults in the lower panel, where each of the surrounding faults extends around a respective one of the plurality of feet. The faults or recesses allow for an engineered region of reduced stiffness in line with the loads seen during impacts in the leading edge or feet of the pallet.

The present invention provides a system for transporting products including a pallet consisting of a deck having an upper surface and a pattern of recesses formed in the upper surface including sets of recesses deployed for receiving a footprint of a layer of crates. A stacking element for deploying on the upper edges of the layer of crates consisting of a board including a surface, and a pattern of recesses formed in the surface including sets of recesses for receiving the upper edges of the layer crates.

A pallet including a pallet deck supported along a base plane. The pallet deck defines a load support surface within a given perimeter. The pallet deck includes at least one hand hole extending therethrough. The at least one hand hole is defined by a circumferential wall extending below the load support surface. The circumferential wall has a lower edge with a curved surface defined along at least a portion of the lower edge of the circumferential wall.

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 pallet that is configured and designed to support a load of material and rest alternatively on a flat surface on a roof so as to straddle the peak or ridge of a roof. The pallets can be loaded with materials such as roofing shingles, delivered to a work site on a truck bed and lifted up and positioned on the peak or ridge of a roof without having to unload the materials from the pallets.

A container system for shipping product in bulk, having a corrugated container sleeve and a pallet for supporting the sleeve thereon, the pallet having a channel configured to receive therein a bottom edge of the sleeve, and the pallet with said sleeve defining an internal section of the container system in which the bulk product is contained.

A half pallet includes a deck having opposite front and rear edges and opposite end edges. The end edges are shorter than the front and rear edges. End supports below the deck are adjacent end edges of the deck. The deck extends forward and rearward of the end supports. Each of the end supports includes a front edge recessed from the front edge of the deck and a rear edge recessed from the rear edge of the deck. Each end support prevents entry of a fork tine between the front edge of the end support and the rear edge of the end support.

An anti-sagging device, configured to conform with a lightweight pellet, is described. Details of assemblies of a lightweight pellet and the novel anti-sagging devices are further described. An assembly of a lightweight pellet and the novel anti-sagging devices is characterized by superior structural firmness, so that upon placing the assembly onto two side-beams of a racking or shelving structure, the assembly effectively does not sag remains essentially planar or linear.
