A shipping riser is provided and includes an engineered structure. The engineered structure includes a central laminated structure, a pair of middle laminated structures positioned on and secured to opposite sides of the central laminated structure, and a pair of outer laminated structures positioned on and secured to opposite sides of the pair of middle laminated structures.

A novel pallet construction and pallet moving system includes a rigid pallet including a linear conduit passing through the pallet between opposing sides of the pallet and open at the ends of the conduit. The conduit includes a removable lining to prevent destruction of the pallet and conduit during use. In alternative configurations, two offset conduits may be provided to accommodate other hardware and use constraints.

An airdrop platform is provided that includes a pallet. Under the pallet are a first outrigger main body and a second outrigger main body. The first outrigger main body and second main body each include at least one outrigger finger. When airdropped, the outrigger main bodies and outrigger fingers are configured to move from under the pallet.

A hand truck pallet or dolly pallet teaches that the pallet may secure to the hand truck nose plate both top and bottom, allowing almost complete freedom of rotation without allowing the pallet to fall from the hand truck. It furthermore may be removed instantly by withdrawal. The nose plate is held between rails on either side which have projections defining small gaps into which the edges of the nose plate are slid in usage.

The Platform Storage Security System is an apparatus comprising a set of tamper resistant metal pallet securing clamps designed to fit the edges or sides of palletized materials which are connected to and secured to each other across the surface of said palletized materials so as to enable the securing of said palletized materials thereby preventing or resisting the theft of the secured materials.

A fixation member comprises a support structure comprising a top surface; a first L-shaped projection extending from the top surface of the support structure; a second L-shaped projection extending from the top surface of the support structure; the first L-shaped projection and the second L-shaped projection each comprising a base surface and a side surface.

Improved equipment bases and methods for making and using same are disclosed herein. The equipment base can include a first coated substrate including a first part having a first thickness sized to provide the load-bearing support for the equipment, a first elastomer coating the first part, a second coated substrate positioned adjacent to the first coated substrate, the second coated substrate including a second part having a second thickness sized to provide the load-bearing support for the equipment, and a second elastomer coating the second part. A first seam can be formed between the first and second coated substrates to allow for moisture to pass between the first and second coated substrates so that moisture is allowed to seep away from the bottom of the equipment.

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).

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a shipping tray for a chair having a plurality of legs including a top side, bottom side, front support, rear support, first side support, second side support, a central brace, a plurality of holders, and a plurality of structural ribs. Embodiments may also include a shipping tray system, and a method of stacking a chair having a plurality of legs on the shipping tray.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for a skid system including a skid apparatus. The skid apparatus may include a skid frame including at least one lateral member coupled to at least one side member at a coupling location, a skid plate coupleable to at least one of the at least one lateral member or to the at least one side member, at least one skid slot extending through the skid plate, and a pipe support configured to couple to the at least one skid slot.
