Patent number: 7607628Abstract: A pallet includes a deck and support members extending from an underside of the deck. The deck has alignment recesses as well as lowered portions along both sides of the deck for receiving the feet and runners supporting the deck to achieve nesting when stacked. The support members include two runners with orifices extending there through and aligned to accommodate pallet jacks and forklifts. The orifices have straps extending underneath the orifices to provide structural support while allowing for insertion of pallet jacks and their wheels. The pallet has feet between the runners and spaced so that the underside of the deck is unobstructed in the area intermediate the orifices providing for four way insertion of pallet jack support units. The pallet has alignment sections machined into the sides of the pallet to provide for precise alignment with pallet handling equipment.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2002Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Stratis CorporationInventors: Andrew W. Elder, William J. Skinner, Bobby G. Badger

Patent number: 7163122Abstract: A container system includes interchangeable components to form an enclosed container. A base in the form of a pallet, a sidewall and a cover are assembled to form an enclosed container. The containers include nesting portions on the pallet and cover so that containers may be stacked when assembled and the components may also be stacked when in storage and nest to resist lateral sliding. The sidewalls include a first embodiment with single wall construction and a second embodiment with double wall construction. The walls are a corrugated plastic construction and include spaced apart reinforcing rods extending into the flutes. The double wall sidewall includes an inner wall with vertically extending flutes having reinforcing rods inserted into spaced apart ones of the flutes while the outer wall has horizontally extending flutes with one or more reinforcing rods inserted therein to provide added strength.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2003Date of Patent: January 16, 2007Assignee: Stratis CorporationInventors: Andrew W.
