The present invention provides for a mould set for fabrication of an EPS pallet, a process for making the mould set for fabrication of the EPS pallet, and a process for fabricating the EPS pallet using the mould set. The mould set includes a modular platform mould and a leg mould configured to fabricate a platform section and plurality of leg support sections of the EPS pallet, respectively. The modular platform mould includes a modularity unit which enables alternation of dimension of hollow space which is configured to receive feed of polystyrene beads and thereby enabling moulding of the platform section of varying dimensions from a single mould. The one or more leg support sections are affixed to bottom side of the platform section at predefined locations, based on weight bearing capacity and position of lifting, to form the EPS pallet. The easy customization into various sizes as per requirement using a single mould structure reduces requirement of hoarding various moulds for different dimensions of EPS pallet, thereby significantly reducing the cost of moulding operations.

A platform comprising a deck, wherein the deck comprises a product supporting surface for supporting an article thereon. The deck is defined by a plurality of sidewalls which extend from a periphery of the product supporting surface. The platform further comprises an attachment feature arrangement disposed along one or more of the sidewalls. The attachment feature arrangement comprises an inner slot and an outer recess. The inner slot and the outer recess are disposed adjacent one another and separated by a divider. The inner slot comprises one or more inwardly-facing projections, and the outer recess comprises one or more outwardly-facing projections. The projections extend from the divider and are configured to engage a corresponding projection-engaging feature of the article supported by the product supporting surface.

A bin assembly including: a container having a base and sidewalls extending upwardly and outwardly from the base; at least one locking portion disposed on the base; a pallet; and at least one locking mechanism disposed on the pallet, complementary to the at least one locking portion, wherein relative rotation between the container and the pallet engages or disengages the at least one locking portion and at least one locking mechanism to respectively lock or unlock the pallet and the container.

The present disclosure is directed to the transport of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items to one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces. The present disclosure is also directed to the holding of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items during transport to one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces. The present disclosure is also directed to the holding of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items on one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces.

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.

The present invention provides a thinner, movable load bearing structure having indentations, grooves, valleys, channels or other similar depressions on its underside. These depressions are mated with corresponding features for improved loading bearing capabilities. The load bearing structures also includes roughened side edges for improving the strength of the edges. The load bearing structure may be a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.

An apparatus may include a breadboard. The breadboard may include a substantially flat board, which may include a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface may be disposed opposite the bottom surface. The board may include one or more openings disposed in the board. The apparatus may include a pallet. The pallet may include a top surface and a bottom portion disposed opposite the top surface. The pallet may include a plurality of risers, which may be disposed on the bottom portion and extend in a direction opposite the top surface. The bottom surface of the breadboard may be mountable to the top surface of the pallet. One or more circuit breakers may be disposable on the top surface of the board of the breadboard. The breadboard and pallet may be reusable in transporting circuit breakers.

A pallet for shipping goods, the pallet having a rigid member, a phase change material, and a temperature indicator. The rigid member includes a phase change material compartment. A phase change material is disposed in the phase change material compartment. The temperature indicator indicates a thermal state of the pallet.

A structural element (10) for forming a panel, with an upper plane (12) and lower plane (14) which are parallel and deformed along their plane at intervals by pods (16) which extrude toward the opposing plane with their internal faces mating to one another.

A pallet lift includes a pair of outer tines movable between an expanded position spaced outward away from inner tines and a retracted position adjacent the inner tines. The inner and outer tines are supported by wheels at locations spaced away from the lift mechanism. A pallet includes a plurality of nestable feet that open outwardly of the pallet to reduce the footprint. A second pallet includes a side wall extending downward from side edges of the pallet to define an opening adjacent outer feet.
