Abstract: A shipping container for dunnage, such as automotive engines, is disclosed having a rigid frame and a pair of spaced apart dunnage support members which are secured to the frame. The dunnage support members each have upwardly extending portions which are adapted to abut against and support selected areas of the dunnage. These upwardly extending portions are constructed of a material formed by the isothermal reaction of isocyanate and a resin which are selected such that the elastomeric material resulting from the isothermal reaction is essentially devoid of entrapped air bubbles. A method for forming the dunnage support members is also disclosed.

Abstract: A foot assembly is disclosed which is attachable to a box in order to simulate a pallet. The foot assembly includes a base having a foot extending outwardly from one side of the base. The opposite side of the base is secured to a lower corner of the box. With one foot assembly attached to each lower corner of the box, the foot assemblies space the bottom of the box upwardly from the ground supporting surface thereby simulating a pallet.
