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.

A corrugated pallet folded together from two planar blanks, including a pallet top that supports a load above a floor, and a pallet bottom that rests on the floor. Each pallet top and pallet bottom has multiple double thickness interior support ribs folded vertically from the plane of the pallet top and bottom. Ribs from the pallet top intersect with ribs from the pallet bottom perpendicularly and support the pallet top on the pallet bottom. Multiple mechanical vertical locks hold the pallet top in vertically spaced relation with the pallet bottom with middle straps folded vertically from the pallet top and/or pallet bottom into contact with interior surfaces of the pallet and lock directly into sides of the interior support ribs at positions intermediate the pallet top and bottom. Reinforcement tubes are provided over intersections of double thickness ribs at the corners of the pallet while folded doubled thickness ribs provide compression support near the center.

A plate for use with a transport-and-storage unit includes a plate-shaped body having a stable form for receiving a layer formed from packages or groups of packages. The body has a planer upper side and a planar underside opposite each other. A holder is provided on at least part of the underside's perimeter.

The present disclosure relates to roofing shingles and palleted pluralities thereof that have a reduced susceptibility to damage during shipment.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a transportation system for carrying servers. The transportation system includes a server rack and a shock-absorbing pallet. The shock-absorbing pallet is secured under the server rack and configured to move relative to the server rack to dampen vibration during transportation of the server rack. The shock-absorbing pallet includes a top cover, a bottom cover, one or more isolation devices, and one or supporting layers. The one or more isolation devices are disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover. Each isolation device includes a shock-absorbing component coupled to the top cover and the bottom cover. The one or more supporting layers are secured between the top cover and the bottom cover around the one or more isolation devices. The one or more supporting layers have a plurality of slots for guiding a pallet lifter therethrough.

A packaging assembly for a home appliance includes a base frame including a first plank and a second plank provided parallel to the first plank, and a pair of spring clips attached to the base frame. The pair of spring clips includes a right spring clip attached to a top surface of the first plank, and a left spring clip attached to a top surface of the second plank, wherein an axial extension direction of the right spring clip is parallel to an axial extension direction of the left spring clip, and wherein the pair of springs are configured to selectively accept a base rail of the home appliance therein.

A cart includes a base, a pair of rear wheels supporting the base, and a pair of tines extending forward of the base. A load wheel is positioned below forward ends of each of the pair of tines for raising and lowering the tine. A handle extends upward from the base, the handle including a horizontal handle, wherein the horizontal handle is substantially aligned with the axles of the rear wheels. The tines are wider and longer so that each tine can support two small nestable pallets. Each nestable pallet includes a deck, feet supporting the deck and a peripheral lip extending upward from the deck. The pallet is sized to support single stack of containers, such as standard-size totes.

Disclosed are a support unit and a floor plate. The support unit includes a first plate and a second plate which are spaced apart from each other, one end of the first plate is provided with a plurality of first ring walls at intervals, one end of second plate facing the first plate is provided with a plurality of second ring walls at intervals, the plurality of second ring walls are arranged corresponding to the plurality of first ring walls, each of the second ring walls is sleeved outside and matched with a respective one of the first ring walls to form a support structure that supports the first plate and the second plate.

This invention falls within the scope of pallets, more specifically pallet blocks, which form the base of a pallet or which are arranged between two platforms of a pallet, allowing the entry of forks from forklifts and other mechanisms of handling and stowing in warehouse, means of transport and containers. It is thus the object of this invention a pallet block (3) comprising a core (1) of wood particleboard and an outer layer (2) of wood fibreboard, the outer layer (2) at least partially coating the core (1), and the assembly formed by the core (1) plus the outer layer (2) being obtained by subjecting it to pressure. This enables a pallet block (3) to be obtained allowing high weights to be supported, without the whole block (3) being comprised of wood fibreboard, and with characteristics of robustness, thus avoiding the need for gluing between the elements.
