A modular produce crate has four side panels, a base panel and abase having a quadrant of upper surface corner base connectors. Each side panel defines an interior base panel channel, a pair of side panel corner connectors extending below the channel and side panel interfacing edges above the channel. Adjacent pairs of the side panel corner connectors plug into each respective corner base connector to enclose the channels around the base panel to hold the base panel and adjacent interfacing edges thereof are fastened together. As such, the base panel is held fast by the engagement of the side panel connectors within the respective base connectors thereunderneath and by the fastened interfacing edges of the side panels thereabove.

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 foot for a pallet includes a lower part and an upper part being defined in the foot, the lower part being formed by a lateral wall and a bottom wall and the lower part having a cross section smaller than the upper part, so that when stacking one pallet on top of another pallet, the feet can be fitted, thus reducing the height of the resulting stack. A geometric envelope is defined in the lower part, wherein the lateral wall includes a movable part. The movable part is displaceable between a hidden position in which it does not protrude from the geometric envelope, and an extension position in which it protrudes from the geometric envelope. A pallet having a pallet body and a number of replaceable feet is also related.

A shelving system includes a plurality of collapsible containers stacked on one another and on a pallet or dolly. Each collapsible container includes a base and a pair of opposed side walls pivotably connected to the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base. Each collapsible container further includes a rear wall pivotably connected to the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base. The rear wall may include a pair of opposed flange portions with a lower central portion therebetween. A front wall is pivotably connected to the base opposite the rear wall and is movable between an upright position and a retracted position outward of the container. The pallet accommodates the stack of collapsible containers and has thin outer columns so that the shelving system can fit into existing store refrigerators.

An assortment of pallet modules configured to allow formation of a nested pallet assembly of at least two pallet modules, which nested pallet assembly is configured to act as a self-supporting platform allowing the handling and transportation of goods, each pallet module including a main structural body exhibiting a generally quadrilateral peripheral border with first to fourth lateral sides extending between upper and lower sides of the main structural body, a mating system provided on the first to fourth lateral sides and configured to allow nesting of the pallet module within a corresponding part of the mating system of another pallet module of the assortment, a securing system configured to allow the pallet module to be secured to or released from another pallet module of the assortment, and a foot structure disposed on the lower side of the main structural body.

A pallet includes a deck having center portion and two outer portions spaced outward on either side of the center portion. A plurality of keg supports extend from each outer portion to the center portion. Each keg support has a concave upper surface. A large opening is defined between each adjacent pair of keg supports. Outer middle recesses are formed on each outer portion adjacent each large opening. Center middle recesses are formed on the center portion adjacent each large opening. A plurality of column portions protrude from the deck. The pallet accommodates both straight kegs and belly kegs at the same height. The pallet may be formed in two identical halves.

A pallet includes: a top plate that has a rectangular shape and that is to be loaded with a load object; multiple blocks that are disposed at a multiple locations including four corners of the top plate and that support the top plate from below; and a bottom plate that is disposed such that the multiple blocks are placed on the bottom plate. The top plate has a long side and a short side. Blocks included in the multiple blocks and disposed at the corners of the top plate each has a long side and a short side. The long side of each of the blocks included in the multiple blocks and disposed at the corners of the top plate is disposed along the short side of the top plate.

A high-capacity bin for storing loose agricultural commodities, for example, fruits and vegetables, has a basket, four risers, and two foot straps. The sidewalls of the basket have a curved contour in the form of a dome with waves superimposed on the dome along the entire length of the dome, to strengthen the sidewalls against compressive, hydraulic, and buckling forces. The four risers are removably attached to the four corners of the basket, and have a webbed pattern of ridges, and valleys defined between the ridges, to stiffen the risers. The foot straps are removably retained by posts and sockets formed on the bottom of the basket.

A pallet comprises an upper load supporting surface having a peripheral edge, and a lower surface having a peripheral edge. The lower surface has substantially the same dimensions as the upper load supporting surface. A plurality of peripheral supports are provided at or near the peripheral edge of the lower surface and extend upwardly therefrom to the upper load supporting surface so that the upper load supporting surface and the lower surface are spaced from each other and define sides of the pallet. Each side of the pallet has a first opening and a second opening which are defined by the upper load supporting surface, the lower surface, and a pair of peripheral supports. Inclined surfaces are provided on the lower surface.

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.
