The invention relates to a collapsible pallet casing assembly (1), comprising a pallet (2) with a frame structure enclosing a loading surface thereof, a rear casing wall, a front casing wall (32) a top casing wall (15), as well as first (17) and second lateral casing walls. The assembly (1) is transferable between an erected state, in which it is used as a shipping crate for bulky objects, and a collapsed state in which it may be stored or transported as a unit claiming little space. The assembly (1) is transferable from the erected state to the collapsed state by folding all said casing walls (15, 17, 32) on top of each other onto the pallet (2). The invention also relates to use of such a pallet casing assembly (1) for shipping bulky objects, especially server racks or power cabinets.

A container for transporting and storing or presenting goods includes a bottom, a first side wall segment articulated to the bottom and which can be folded about a folding axis parallel to the bottom between a first folding position and a second folding position, and at least one second side wall segment, which is articulated to a side edge of the first side wall segment and which can be pivoted about a pivoting axis perpendicular to the bottom between a first pivoting position pivoted laterally away from the first side wall segment and a second pivoting position. The first side wall segment and/or the second side wall segment have at least one angled side border segment on the side edges facing each other and the two side wall segments are articulated to each other.

A collapsible container includes a base having a base wall with a plurality of support surfaces separated by a longitudinal drainage channel and a plurality of lateral drainage channels intersecting the longitudinal drainage channel. The drainage channels are lower than the support surfaces. The base wall does not include any openings therethrough, so the drainage channels retain fluid leaking from products or packages in the container. The base may further include a plurality of troughs proximate edges of the base. The plurality of troughs are lower than the drainage channels. Walls are pivotably mounted to the base and are pivotable between an upright position and a collapsed position.

A collapsible crate for transporting goods, the crate having an upstanding wall, at least a portion of which is movable, locating feature and releasable locking feature for releasably securing the movable wall portion relative to the crate, wherein the locating feature has a projection receivable within a recess or aperture to align, in use, the movable wall portion relative to the crate such that the movable wall portion is releasably securable by the locking feature.

A container for transporting and storing or presenting goods includes a bottom, a first side wall segment articulated to the bottom and which can be folded about a folding axis parallel to the bottom between a first folding position and a second folding position, and at least one second side wall segment, which is articulated to a side edge of the first side wall segment and which can be pivoted about a pivoting axis perpendicular to the bottom between a first pivoting position pivoted laterally away from the first side wall segment and a second pivoting position. The first side wall segment and/or the second side wall segment have at least one angled side border segment on the side edges facing each other and the two side wall segments are articulated to each other.
