The second frame side is disposed opposite and spaced apart from the first frame side, and the third frame side extends between the first and second frame sides. The transport support structure further comprises first and second support receiving members disposed under the platform. The first support receiving member includes a first opening configured to receive a first lifting device support element, and the second support receiving member includes a second opening configured to receive a second lifting device support element.

A pallet collar which is a casing structure, generally having four walls interconnected to form a rectangular frame, and used for providing a pallet with walls enclosing a loading space thereof, to hold and protect goods placed on the pallet during storage and/or transport.

A modular, multiconfigurable container adapted to collapse for stowability and portability which is capable of being arranged in several geometries; whereby the container is operable to enable a user to assembly said container without tools, screws or external fasteners, and customize said container with minimal effort and skillset requirements for assemblage, so as to enable a user to customize said container for optimal stowing of categorized items in multiple interior bins, the container further configured to facilitate disassembly and stowage, one-man portability, and minimal tool and skillset requirements for assemblage. In various embodiments, the side panels and base panel are affixed together using a live hinge. The tote container further operates to allow a user to apply labels forwardly and rearwardly on the container within a recess adapted for that purpose.

Described is a pallet including a base having a length extending between a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a width transverse to the length; and a cage removably coupled to the base.

A shipping container comprising a basket, a plurality of feet, and a plurality of removable corner columns. In some embodiments, the shipping container comprises a basket, a plurality of feet, and a plurality of foot pads. Further embodiments include foot pads with drill release locks.

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.

A foldably constructed pallet includes a top member forming a top surface and includes a top perimeter edge and a plurality of upper edge supports extending from the top perimeter edge and perpendicular to the top surface. The foldably constructed pallet further includes a bottom member forming a bottom surface. The bottom member includes a bottom perimeter edge and a plurality of lower edge supports extending from the bottom perimeter edge and perpendicular to the bottom surface. The foldably constructed pallet further includes a plurality of structural inserts received between the top and bottom members and positioned adjacent to the plurality of upper edge supports and the plurality of lower edge supports.

A combination that can be used as a pallet alone or modified to be used as a container. The combination includes a pallet and a container. The pallet rests on a horizontal surface and can be used as a pallet when used alone. The container has a bottom and selectively extends upwardly from the pallet. The pallet forms the bottom of the container when the pallet is modified to be used as the container. Further included are a method for constructing the pallet and a method for constructing the container.

The Self-Stacking SPACE Platform is an enclosure for safe storage and transportation of packaged goods or products used in logistic industries which eliminates the need of conventional pallets made up of wood or plastic and provides more stability, safety, and expanded utilization of space, referred to as density within the transportation vehicles, containers and storage warehouses, allowing more goods or products being stored or transported compared to present pallets. The Self-Stacking SPACE Platforms of present invention is stackable up to 4 high which is further comprised of: a rectangular base frame having a removable flooring sheet made of a light weight material such as plastic; a corner support member welded at each corner of the base frame to insert and secure at least one corner upright member to form a structure that behaves as a box like frame to enclose the goods or merchandise placed on the SPACE platform and also behaves as a pillars while stacking two or more platforms together. The SPACE platforms of present invention further includes plurality of forklift slots configured to allow lifting of the platform using any conventional forklift; a strap loop for strapping two or more SPACE platforms when stacked together; and a forklift shield provided to prevent damage to the goods or merchandise in case a fork of the forklift misses the forklift slot.

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.
