Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for storing and picking product in a plastic tote are disclosed. In one form, the tote is a plastic receptacle with a generally planar bottom and upstanding walls extending from the bottom and defining a receptacle opening on a side opposite the bottom, the upstanding walls forming a front wall, opposing side walls and a rear wall, with the walls extending from the bottom at an obtuse angle so that the receptacle tapers from a larger cross-section at the receptacle opening to a smaller cross-section at the bottom, and with at least one upstanding wall defining a first male or female mating structure for aligning with a second female or male mating structure of a second plastic receptacle when nested with the second plastic receptacle. Related systems and methods are also disclosed including without limitation pick and pack systems and methods.

Abstract: A cover for an end of a pipe has a cover body having an inner cavity that is open at a first end, an end wall that closes the cavity at a second end, and a pipe engaging sidewall between the first end and the second end. The pipe engaging sidewall has an inner surface and an outer surface that are sized to engage the outer and inner diameters, respectfully, of the male and female connections of the pipe. The pipe engaging sidewall has one or more inner ribs that extend inward into the inner cavity from the inner surface that are collapsible toward the inner surface and one or more outer ribs that extend outward from the outer surface relative to the inner cavity that are collapsible toward the outer surface.
