A storage unit providing a storage space is disclosed. The storage unit comprises a base and a panel moveable relative to the base to expose and conceal a storage space a handle configured for at least vertical movement, at least one connector configured for at least vertical movement, and a member coupled by the connector to the handle through the panel and configured for at least horizontal movement.

Storage unit

A method of assembling a storage unit is disclosed. The method comprises applying heat to a groove separating a pair of walls to melt at least a portion of the plastic material, and pivoting the walls so that the surfaces of the groove contact and join as the melted plastic material solidifies.

Method of assembling a storage unit

Latch mechanism for locker

A storage unit providing a storage space and method of forming a door and frame for a storage unit are disclosed. The storage unit comprises a base, a panel movable between an open position and a closed position, and a retaining member. The retaining member is configured for movement between a first position and a second position, the first position being vertically and horizontally offset from the second position. The retaining member engages the base when the panel is in the closed position and the retaining member is in the first position. The method comprises machining a first groove on a first surface of a sheet, and machining a second groove on a second surface opposite the first surface and at least partially offset with the first groove. The door is then rotated so that the first surface of the door is generally in the same plane as the second surface of the frame.

Door and frame for a storage enclosure and method of making same

A method of assembling the storage unit is disclosed. The storage unit includes a unitary sheet of material folded into an enclosure about a plurality of grooves. A cap formed from a unitary sheet of material is mounted above the enclosure and configured to provide usual or physical access to the top of the storage unit. The method comprises applying heat to a groove separating a pair of walls to melt at least a portion of the plastic material, and pivoting the walls so that the surfaces of the groove contact and join as the melted plastic material solidifies.

An adjustable dockboard for bridging the gap between a loading dock and a carrier, the dockboard including a ramp member hingedly connected to the loading dock and biased to an elevated position, and a tread plate assembly positioned in the ramp member and movable to an extended position to engage the bed of a carrier when the ramp member is lowered, the tread plate assembly being locked into a set position on engagement with the bed of the carrier, the tread plate assembly being removeable from the carrier for repair and maintenance and the ramp member being seated in the dockboard by its own weight.
