Abstract: A pallet has a generally planar weight bearing floor of generally square or rectangular plan, at least two reinforcing parallel members extending transversely beneath the floor at locations on opposite sides of and generally parallel to a line bisecting the floor, the reinforcing parallel members providing a box section. The pallet also has an opening for two of the at least two reinforcing parallel members provided in the vicinity of an edge of the pallet to allow access of a tyne of a forklift into the box section, and locomotion means beneath the floor extending to a level below the box section, the locomotion means adapted to facilitate movement of the pallet over a surface.

Abstract: A feed control assembly for feeding a cable on to a rotatable reel has a primary guide for controlling the location of the cable as it feeds on to the reel, and a drive assembly arranged to reciprocate the primary guide means as the cable feeds through the primary guide.
