The present invention provides a system for transporting products including a pallet consisting of a deck having an upper surface and a pattern of recesses formed in the upper surface including sets of recesses deployed for receiving a footprint of a layer of crates. A stacking element for deploying on the upper edges of the layer of crates consisting of a board including a surface, and a pattern of recesses formed in the surface including sets of recesses for receiving the upper edges of the layer crates.

An arrangement of Expanded Polystyrene boxes grouped into a tower on a pallet, said boxes being distributed in at least seven rows each comprising three boxes separated by a separation and ordered such that two boxes are placed in parallel side by side along the long axis of the pallet and the third is placed perpendicular to the former, said box arranged perpendicular being at one end of the tower opposite the end of the upper and/or lower row. An Expanded Polystyrene box is also disclosed.

An apparatus and system for storing and transporting fluids, the apparatus comprising a pair of collars, each collar comprising three panels, and a storage container, the storage container having a shape generally of a triangular prism. One of the pair of collars being attached proximate a top of the storage tank, the other of the pair of collars being attached proximate the bottom of the storage tank. The storage container having a generally triangular top plate with at least one port, a generally triangular bottom plate with the top and bottom plate having shapes that generally correspond, and a sidewall extending between the top and bottom plate. Each collar may comprise three elongated panels, each panel having a joining structure at opposite ends, wherein joining structures of the elongated panels are configured for connection adjacent joining structures of another panel to operably connect the three panels.

A load unit (700) of material for forming a structural component made from layers of a fiber reinforced material, the load unit (700) comprising a pallet (704) and a single layer of rolls of fiber reinforced material (702).

A method for stowing a set consisting of multiple elements in an overpack as well as a set consisting of multiple elements for stowing in an overpack, in which all the elements of the set are arranged in a common overpack in a predetermined sequence and in a predetermined orientation to each other, and a base surface of the overpack corresponds to a base surface of an EUR pallet.

A container for fluid product includes a one piece body having first, second, third, and fourth sidewalls, an upper surface and a lower surface. Two of the sidewalls have non-linear, parallel conformations that each include a convex surface portion that merges into an adjacent concave surface portion for abutting engagement between adjacent containers and limit sliding movement of the abutting containers relative to one another in a layer of a stacked array of containers. The upper and lower surfaces have a center pour opening and a recessed region, respectively, which cooperate to limit sliding movement of adjacent containers relative to one another in a layer of the stacked array. A handle is formed at least in part by a cylindrical portion that is dimensioned to conform to a generally C-shape contour formed by a user's thumb and index finger when the fingers of a user's hand are stretched and shaped over a virtual hemispherical surface, and a circumferential region of the cylindrical portion of the handle tangentially merges into one of the sidewalls.

A complementary paper tube adapted to fill a remaining space on a cargo pallet includes sidewall portions, a straight auxiliary tearing line and circular auxiliary tearing lines. The side wall portions are disposed adjacently to each other. The straight auxiliary tearing line surrounds the sidewall portions. The circular auxiliary tearing lines are disposed on the sidewall portions and respectively connected to the straight auxiliary tearing line. A portion of the area surrounded by the circular auxiliary lines is adapted to be torn away, so as to form circular openings. The complementary paper tube is adapted to be torn into an upper tube and a lower tube. In addition, a flat plate adapted to form the complementary paper tube is also mentioned.

Plastic containers and arrangements of reduced diameter plastic containers, including PET containers, are disclosed. In an embodiment, a plastic container arrangement is provided that includes a plurality of reduced diameter plastic (e.g., PET) containers arranged in a side-by-side configuration, wherein the ratio of a maximum outside diameter to container height is at least 0.30.

Pallet unit (1) for transporting objects comprising a pallet (10) and a stack (11) of object blocks (B1 . . . B5) arranged on the pallet (10). The pallet unit (1) comprises a wrapping sheet (12) having vertical portions (V1 . . . V12) and horizontal portions (h1 h15) covering parts of the blocks (B1 . . . B5), said wrapping sheet (12) being laid along a continuous path and extending at least partly within the stack (11). Method for palletizing object blocks using said pallet unit (1).

A pallet-less brick is provided that allows for materials to be transported without the use of straps or pallets, which makes the transportation and subsequent use of the materials more efficient and more environmentally friendly. The pallet-less brick can have a generally planar body with a series of protrusions and recesses extending in different directions. A protrusion extending in one direction can be received in a recess of an adjacent brick, such that the bricks are stackable without the use of straps or pallets. Similarly, a second protrusion and recess combination fulfill a similar function, and the multiple protrusions and recesses secure stacked pallets in at least two directions.
