A pallet substitute has pallet blocks, which may be made of plastic regrind or other material which can be utilized in conjunction with a tray, whether cardboard or otherwise, to provide a pallet. The pallet substitute may have pallet blocks that connect separately and directly to the tray, or pairs (or triples, etc.) of pallet blocks may connect together, possibly with stringers and connect to the tray.

A pallet comprising at least three upper carrier plates (3) and at least three carrier supports (5), in which the bottom of each upper carrier plate (3) is provided with first snapping portions (11) in an array manner, the top of each carrier support (5) is provided with first snapping grooves (4), and the upper carrier plates (3) are snapped with the first snapping grooves (4) on the top of the carrier supports (5) through the first snapping portions (11), and which reduces space occupation and facilitates storage and transportation.

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.

Disclosed is stack support assembly. The stack support assembly includes at least one binding element to press and bind at least one support leg to a material stack; and at least one elongated and partially hollow support leg composed of a shaped polymer. The elongated and partially hollow support leg includes vertically oriented side walls connected to one another with a repeating pattern of interconnect structures, thereby forming hollowed channels extending between a top plane and a bottom plane of the support leg.

In one embodiment, a maintainable pallet is provided with interchangeable support structures and sensors for identifying any damage that the interchangeable support structures may experience. The maintainable pallet may include two side supports, two end supports coupled to the two side supports end-to-end to form a rectangle, a central support position between the two side supports, a plurality of top transverse support fastened onto the two side supports to form a top loading surface and the central support with two-part releasable fasteners, and two bottom transverse supports fastened to the ends of the two side supports to form a bottom surface with two-part releasable fasteners. Sensors, in some embodiments, may be embedded in the two side supports to measure, for example, acceleration, location, or other logistic information. When a damaged piece is identified, the maintainable pallet can be disassembled by unfastening the two-part releasable fasteners to remove the damaged piece; and a new interchangeable piece will replace the damaged piece.

Assembled and combined pallet constitutes of supporting beams and skids wherein: the supporting beams are made of the hollow metal section bar and the supporting beams are equipped with the grooves along its length direction on the top; the skids are set with inserting blocks at the bottom in relation to the grooves on the top of the supporting beams and inserting blocks are inserted into the grooves along the length direction of the grooves; the supporting beam is set with a locating lever in relation to the inserting block of each skid, and the inserting block of each skid is set with a locking hole in relation to the locating lever and the locating level passes through the corresponding locking hole of the inserting block to lock the skid. The skid connection and supporting beam is reliable and the disassembly and assembly during the use is convenient and fast.

An assembly type pallet, includes a plurality of plates having a secure hole on a plate surface, and disposed side by side to each another; a plurality of support frames disposed in a direction intersecting the plates, an inside of the support frame being provided with an inner space along a longitudinal direction, an upper surface of the support frame being provided with a seating surface against which a lower surface of the plates is supported, and the seating surface being provided with an insertion hole communicating with the inner space; a first secure member disposed on the lower surface of the plates and that is provided with an insertion unit which is inserted into the insertion hole of the support frame; and a second secure member inserted into the inner space of the support frame.
