Abstract: An endless tab for supporting welding wire ends within a bulk welding wire container may include a first connection portion, a second connection portion, and an extension portion. The connection portions may be disposed on opposing sides of the endless tab, and the extension portion may be disposed between the connection portions. The endless tab be constructed from a planar sheet of corrugated material that may be folded into a deployed configuration. When in the deployed configuration, the connection portions may have a substantially inverted U-shape cross-section, while the extension portion may extend horizontally from the front side of the connection portions. The connection portions may be configured to extend over a top edge of a liner and/or support of the container, while the extension portion extends into the interior of the container. The extension portion may include an opening through which a welding wire may be threaded.

Abstract: A system and method for reinforcing a sidewall of a carrier with an insert is disclosed. The insert includes a plate having a front face and a rear face opposite the front face, the plate defining an opening extending between the front face and the rear face. An oblique tab extends from the front face in a first direction, and a flange extends from the plate in a second direction.

Abstract: A pallet includes a top plate, an opposite bottom plate, and a series of supports disposed between the top and bottom plates. The series of supports, top plate, and bottom plate collectively define an opening on each vertical side of the pallet. The spacing of the supports from each other further defines a series of pathways configured to receive the forks of both a forklift and a pallet jack. The pallet may be configured to receive the forks of a forklift and a pallet jack from multiple different directions. The forks of the forklift may be received by the pallet such that the forks are oriented either perpendicular or parallel to the sides of the pallet. The forks of the pallet jack may be received by the pallet such that the forks are offset from being either perpendicular or parallel to the sides of the pallet.

Abstract: A container for housing a welding wire that includes an outer sleeve and at least one support member. The outer sleeve of the container may define an interior cavity. The outer sleeve of the container may be in the shape of an irregular octagonal prism. The at least one support member may be disposed within the interior cavity of the outer sleeve. The at least one support member may also extend vertically through the interior cavity of the outer sleeve. The at least one support member may be in the shape of a trapezoidal prism. With the at least one support member disposed within the interior cavity of the outer sleeve, the at least one support member and the outer sleeve collectively define a region of the interior cavity of the first sleeve that has a regular octagonal shaped cross-section.
