Abstract: Apparatus for transporting products including a body having ground wheels (22, 122) and support structure (30, 130) for one or more crates or other containers holding products to be carried by the apparatus. At least one ground engageable member (40, 140) fixed to said support structure forms an assembly with the support structure that is mounted to the body for relative movement between a retracted position in which the apparatus is freely moveable on a ground surface by means of the ground wheels and a relatively downwardly extended position in which the ground engageable member engages an underlying ground surface at a predetermined location to stabilize the apparatus against movement from that location on the ground wheels.

Abstract: A combined transporting and merchandising display system includes a stacked array of packaging crates. Each crate has one or more openings in the front wall and/or rear wall for access to and removal of product from the crate. Inter-engaging flutes and recesses on respective upper and lower crates secure the crates together in a nested relationship. A series of fine ribs is arranged on the top surface of the base of each crate to reduce friction between the product and the base so as to allow for gravity feeding of the product to the front of the crate is tilted forwards. The bottom crate is engageable with a tiltable top surface on a trolley (not shown) such that the stacked array of crates can be wheeled about. The product is preferably bottles or cartons of milk.
