An apparatus and methods are described for an improved pallet for the transportation and storage of goods. The pallet disclosed herein has four walls that are at least 4 inches tall that may be lowered to allow the efficient removal of goods off of the pallet. The wall may be used as a ramp to slide the goods off of the pallet. The walls may be locked in an upright position to ensure the goods are secured onto the pallet during transport or storage. When the goods are needed, one or more of the walls may be unlocked and lowered so that the goods do not have to be lifted over the wall to unload the goods from the pallet. The wall may also be in the lowered position to allow goods to be loaded onto to the pallet without having to lift them up and over the wall. The pallet also consists of nine feet that are at least 4 inches high, which minimizes the risk of forks missing the pallet opening when the forks are inserted to move the pallet.

A collapsible crate includes a structural base and at least one collapsible corner post assembly coupled to the base. The corner post assembly includes supports configured to provide lateral protection to a payload in the crate. The corner post assembly is moveable between an upright position and a collapsed position. The crate can further be stackable and/or returnable.

The present invention relates to a pallet having a stackable structure, which enables pallets having objects to be transported loaded thereon to be stacked or pallets alone to be stacked, and provides a pallet having a stackable structure comprising: a tray on which an object to be transported is loaded; a main frame on which one or more trays are mounted; at least one supporter, one end of which extends from the side of the main frame; and a plurality of pivot parts provided in the main frame, each of which is connected to a pivot rotation unit so that each supporter pivots from the main frame with respect to the pivot rotation unit provided at one end, each pivot part enabling a supporter to be selectively locked directed upward.

A collapsible bulk container 10 comprising a bag 12 for holding a bulk load, a support base 14, four collapsible legs 16 and a rectangular upper frame member 18. The legs 16 are secured to the support base 14 by means of hinge assemblies 20 which permit hinged displacement of the legs between upright positions and folded positions wherein the legs are folded onto the support base 14.

A bracket for securing a plurality of support members for a shipping crate assembly is also disclosed. The bracket forms a corner of the shipping crate assembly. The bracket includes first and second non-identical plates. The first and second non-identical plates are joined along a connection line. The first and second non-identical plates extend perpendicularly from each other. A foot is secured to the first and second non-identical plates, the foot being secured along the connection line.

The invention relates to a collapsible superstructure (30), a frame system (20), a lid (40) and a load handling system in the form of a pallet (10) with other components thereon. The superstructure (30) comprises a downward-extending protrusion in the corner portions (33a-d) for forming a step which is arranged to interact with an edge of a downward-extending recess of the pallet (10) on which the superstructure (30) is intended to be placed. When the superstructure (30) is in a partly raised upright position on the pallet (10), each corner portion (33a-d) can be pushed outward so that the protrusion can drop down into each recess of the pallet (10). The collapsible sides (32a-b) comprise respective lower locking portions arranged to interact with a locking portion of the pallet (10) in such a way that, when the superstructure (30) is in a partly raised upright position on the pallet (10), the locking portion of the superstructure (30) can pass an edge of the locking portion of the pallet (10) in an outward movement (L) and thereby enable the superstructure (30) to place itself in a fully raised position.

A sleeve pack (10) is disclosed having a pallet (50) and top cap (80) with one or more dividers (60) disposed therebetween and one or more sleeves (70) disposed between the pallet (50) and each divider (60) or top cap (80).
