Abstract: A grid has crossing grid bars, wherein the first grid bars extending in a first direction are made of an open profile having outwardly bent-away borders positioned in a common plane and wherein the second grid bars extending in a second direction are made of the same open profile as the first grid bars or of a closed profile having at least one planar profile wall. The first grid bars and the second grid bars are positioned relative to one another such that the bent-away borders rest against one another or that the bent-away borders of the first grid bars rest against the planar profile wall of the second grid bars and are connected to one another on the contact surfaces. The grid forms a wall of a cage for receiving a plastic container of a palette container for storing and transporting substances.

Abstract: A cage for receiving a plastic container in the overall arrangement of a pallet-type container, having a shallow tray (3) as base of the cage, the tray being arranged on a pallet or forming the top part of a pallet, and a grid casing as wall of the cage, the grid casing being connected to the border (28) of the tray (3), is constructed such that, on its bottom border, the grid casing has a web (19) which is supported on the pallet or, if the tray (3) forms the top part of the pallet (5), on a bottom part (11, 15) [sic] of the pallet and on which the tray (3) is supported by means of its border (28), and the border (28) of the tray (3), the web (19) and the pallet, or the bottom part (4) of the pallet, are connected to one another in a positively locking manner (31, 33; 35, 36).
