Abstract: A nestable pallet having three rows of feet extending downward from a support surface is provided. In one aspect, the outer rows of feet are attached by runners at a bottom portion of each foot and the middle row of feet does not include runners. The support surface includes openings to accommodate the outer rows of feet with runners, and the middle row of feet of a like pallet. The absence of runners in the middle row and a corresponding larger opening, allows for greater support area in that portion of the pallet. The pallet can also include reinforcements extending perpendicular to the runners.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dolly having a polygonal-shaped platform having an upper surface, a lower surface, a peripheral edge having four corners, a torus-shaped pocket positioned at each corner and dimensioned to receive a wheel from an adjacent dolly, and a plurality of wheels extending from the lower surface and attached thereto.

Abstract: A transport structure, such as a cart or dolly having a handle moveable from a first position to a second position is disclosed. In the first position, the handle extends outward from an edge of the cart or dolly and can be used for pushing or pulling the cart or dolly. In the second position, the handle is moved to extend generally parallel to an upper surface of the cart or dolly so that it can be stored or transported with the cart or dolly.

Abstract: A displacement arrangement for use in a combination dolly-pallet includes an impelling member movable between first and second positions. A linkage is pivotally connected to the impelling member. When the impelling member moves between the first and second positions, the linkage moves pivotally relative to the impelling member to an extended position.

Abstract: A transport structure, such as a cart or dolly having a handle structure that can be inserted laterally into an opening in the transport structure is provided. The handle structure includes a first connection hook portion and a second connection hook portion moveable from a first spaced position to a second spaced position greater than the first spaced position. The handle structure includes a hinged beam that enables the hook portions to contract and expand from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A tray system for stacking layers of non-structural bottles is provided. The system includes a plurality of generally rectangular plastic trays for supporting bottles, and a plurality of sleeves, where each sleeve is positioned about the perimeter of a tray to support a like tray above it.
