A layer pad () comprises a substantially flat sheet () having first and second opposite substantially planar faces (). The layer pad () further includes at least one raised formation () on at least one of the faces ().

Method of forming a pad

A lid arrangement () comprises first and second lids () for use in a container () comprising a wall arrangement (). Each lid () is movable between open and closed positions. Each lid () comprises opposite first and second edges (), and a plurality of rib formations () extending transverse to the aforesaid edges (). When the first and second lids () are In the closed positions, the rib formations () of the first lid () overlap the rib formations () of the second lid (), so that each rib formation () of the first lid () extends parallel to, and alongside, a corresponding rib formation () of the second lid () to provide a line of support (S) that extends across the lid arrangement () from the first edge () of the first lid () to the first edge () of the second lid ().

Or relating to lid arrangements

Layer pad

A container () having a base () is disclosed. The container () also has an upstanding side wall () extending upwardly from the base (). The base () has an upper face () and a lower face (). The base () defines an external recess () in extending upwardly from the lower face (). The container () further includes a mesh formation in the recess (). A lid () for a container () is also disclosed. The lid () comprises a first surface () facing in a first direction. The lid () also has a second surface opposite the first surface (). The lid () has a rim arrangement () comprising a holding formation () having a curved convexity (A) facing in a second direction away from the first direction. The holding formation () comprises a plurality of spaced retaining members () on said convexity (A). The retaining members () extend in the second direction, and are arranged so that a securing member () extending across the convexity (A) between adjacent retaining members () is retained on the holding formation () by the retaining members ().

Container

A load cap () comprises a central portion () having an edge (), and a rim arrangement () on the edge. The rim arrangement comprises a plurality of corrugations () extending substantially parallel to the edge.

Load cap

A container () comprises a base (), upstanding walls () on the base and a lid arrangement () pivotally attacked to at least one of the walls at a hinge (). The lid arrangement is pivotally moveable about the hinge from an open position to a closed position. When the lid arrangement () is in the open position, the container () can be nested within a similar further container having a similar further lid arrangement, and the lid arrangement () can be received within the further lid arrangement in a nested condition of the lid arrangements.

Nestable containers having nestable lid arrangements

A load securing system comprises a tensioning member (), and a securing member () on the tensioning member. First and second containers () can be arranged adjacent each other in an array of containers. Each of said first and second containers has a cooperating formation () to cooperate with the securing member. The tensioning member can extend across the containers to the aforesaid cooperating formations, and the securing member can be secured to the cooperating formations. The tensioning member can be tensioned to secure the first and second containers to each other.

Load securing system

Container for storage and transportation of goods

A load-carrying dolly having four wheels () adjacent the corners of its platform () is rendered immobile by conversion to a pallet-like condition by lowering bearers () into contact with the floor or ground () and then raising the platform () slightly to raise the wheels () clear of the floor or ground by means of either of two pedals (), one below each end of the platform (), with linkage (of either of two forms, not shown) to bars () connecting in 'slave' pairs of toggle links () by means of which the bearers are suspended through beams () connecting upward extensions () at the ends of the bearers (), the toggle links in each pair becoming locked by mating abutments () coming together when the links have passed slightly beyond in-line position, the mechanical advantage of the depressed pedal (or) being amplified by that of the pairs of toggle links when passing through in-line positions.
