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.

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.

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 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 sheet metal pallet assembly includes a deck and an undercarriage. The deck is reinforced about its outer edges by perimeter under-girding. The interior of the deck is further reinforced by one or more reinforcement ribs and interior longitudinal girding. The undercarriage is composed of left and right fork tube risers joined together by bridges. The fork tube risers are configured to receive the tines of a forklift truck. Each fork tube riser has inner and outer legs, each splayed at an angle. In some examples, the splay angle of the outer leg is greater than the splay angle of the inner leg, but in other examples the splays are equal. The ends of each fork tube riser may be folded over with a hem to improve strength and present a blunt edge. The undercarriage may be fabricated from a single monolithic piece of sheet metal or multiple pieces.

A pallet includes a top deck and pallet support legs coupled to the top deck. The top deck has a product support surface and an opposing underside, with the underside having snaps openings therein. Each pallet support leg includes a base extending across a width of the top deck, and a pair of outer leg supports extending from ends of the base. Each outer leg support includes at least one outwardly facing snap and at least one inwardly facing snap inserted into respective snap openings in the top deck.

A pallet includes a plastic top deck and a bamboo bottom deck. The bamboo bottom deck includes bamboo boards made from bamboo strips layered together. Support blocks are coupled between the bamboo bottom deck and the plastic top deck, with a gap being formed therebetween for receiving a lifting member.

A platform includes a top deck with spaced apart platform support leg openings extending therethrough, and platform support legs extending from a lower surface of the top deck and aligned with the platform support leg openings. Each platform support leg includes an upper portion and a lower portion, with the upper portion having an opening extending therethrough and aligned with a respective one of the platform support leg openings in the top deck. The lower portion includes a shelf that separates the opening in the upper portion from the lower portion. The shelf provides support to a bottom surface of a platform support leg from an identical platform when stacked thereon. A pair of extensions extend outwards from a bottom surface of the lower portion, with the opening in the upper portion providing clearance for the pair of extensions on the platform support leg of the identical platform when stacked thereon.

A support module for a platform comprises a body and a lower surface. The body defines an opening configured to receive a pallet support. The lower surface is configured to abut a top deck of the platform.

There is disclosed a pallet component comprising a support portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion extends from the support portion and is defined, at least in part, by a perimeter wall. The perimeter wall surrounds one or more internal chambers. The attachment portion is configured to engage a corresponding attachment portion of another pallet component. The one or more internal chambers comprises at least one device chamber configured to at least partially receive an electronic device therein. One or more walls of the attachment portion comprises one or more cut-outs which define, at least in part, a fluid pathway between the at least one device chamber and atmosphere.
