Abstract: A nestable pallet includes a deck having an upper panel, a lower panel and a plurality of ribs extending perpendicularly from the upper panel to the lower panel. The upper panel further includes a plurality of openings for receiving feet of a similar pallet when nested. The lower panel further includes a plurality of feet extending downward from the deck, each foot having a cavity defined therein lined within one of the plurality of openings in the upper panel. Each cavity is configured to receive a foot from a similar pallet when nested therein.

Abstract: A waste container includes fixed handles integrally molded to an upper edge of the side wall. The waste container further includes a retractable handle pivotably mounted at a hinge at the upper edge of the side wall. The retractable handle is pivotable between an upright, use position above the fixed handles and a retracted position below the hinge adjacent the side wall. In this manner, the handle can be moved to the proper location for either pulling the waste container on its wheels or for emptying the waste container into the hopper of a truck.

Abstract: A storage container has a floor and two pairs of opposed walls extending upwardly from the floor. Included is a bail member having bail ends mountable to one of the pairs of walls, and movable among nest and stack positions. Also included are mounting portions on one of the pairs of walls for receiving the bail ends. Mounting portions include an opening defining a plurality of pivot axes about which the bail member pivots, each axis oriented at substantially similar heights above the floor. When bail ends are positioned at one pivot axis, bail member is movable between the nested and a first stack positions. When bail ends are positioned at an other pivot axis, bail member is oriented in the second stack position. To move the bail member between first and second pivot axes, the bail member is raised upwardly within the opening and moved around an interference portion.

Abstract: A collapsible crate includes a plurality of retractable supports movable from a retracted position generally within a first wall to a support position generally diagonally across the corner, wherein the support is supported in the first end by the first wall and a second end by the second wall. This support includes a first guide at the first end, the first guide being pivotally and slideably captured by a first track in the first wall. The support also includes a second guide at an opposite second end, the second guide being slideably and pivotally captured by a second track in the first wall when the support is in the retracted position. The second guide is also slidable from the second track in the first wall to a third track in the adjacent second wall to move the support from the retracted to the support position.

Abstract: Provided herein is a lid arranged for receipt within a container that has a tapered wall structure and a base. The lid includes a peripheral portion and a central portion integrally attached to each other. The peripheral portion is collapsibly deformable toward the central portion as the lid is movably oriented within the container toward the base.

Abstract: A waste container includes a handle rotatably mounted on the side wall. The handle includes a first grip at an outer end of a short arm and a second grip at the outer end of a long arm. The handle is rotatable relative to the waste container, between a first position where the first grip extends a first distance above an upper edge of the side wall of the waste container and a second position where the second grip extends a second distance above the upper edge of the side wall, with the second distance being substantially greater than the first distance. In this manner, the handle can be moved to the proper location for either pulling the waste container on its wheels or for emptying the waste container into the hopper of a truck.

Abstract: A portable storage device includes the plurality of collapsible walls, each pair of adjacent walls connected by a latch. Each latch can be selectively actuated from both the inside and the outside of the container. Preferably, the latch includes a recess into which the adjacent wall is disposed when the latch is in the latched position. Preferably, the latch is unlatched by flexing the latch away from the adjacent wall by application of force on an inner release surface, inward of the recess or by application of force on an outer release surface, outward of the recess.
