A dolly for transporting products thereon, the dolly comprising a top with a product support surface and an opposing underside, a plurality of casters provided on the underside, two of the casters being swivel casters configured to rotate relative to the product support surface; biasing means configured to bias a wheel of each swivel caster towards a first equilibrium position. A plurality of reinforcing ribs provided on the underside; wherein at least one of the reinforcing ribs is a curved reinforcing rib, and; the at least one curved reinforcing rib extends from a first caster mounting area to a second caster mounting area. Further including, a dolly carrier pallet comprising a pallet provided with a dolly receiving layer, wherein the dolly receiving layer is provided with generally rectangular wheel receiving recesses for receiving swivel casters and is provided with generally rectangular wheel receiving recesses for receiving fixed casters.

Dolly for transporting products

A pallet includes a base layer, a cargo layer and spaced apart support elements positioned between the base layer and the cargo layer and forming a gap therebetween for receiving a lifting member. The cargo layer includes a pair of spaced apart connector boards and a pair of spaced apart end deck boards orthogonal to the pair of connector boards. Each support element extends in length between the pair of spaced apart end deck boards and is configured as a one-piece skid, and includes an open recessed channel therein to receive a respective connector board from the cargo layer.

Pallet with support elements configured as one-piece skids and related methods

A pallet includes a top including a product support surface and an opposing underside, with outer sides extending between the product support surface and the underside. Four feet each extend away from the underside of the top, and each foot has a first opening facing out through the product supporting surface of the top. The feet thus allow stacking of such pallets with the feet of a first such pallet extending into the first openings of a second such pallet. Product tab receiving areas are for receiving respective product tabs, with each product tab receiving area having a slot within the top adjacent a respective outer side of the top. The slot has a pair of spaced apart opposing long sidewalls and a pair of spaced apart opposing short sidewalls adjacent to the pair of long sidewalls, with one of the long sidewalls including a laterally extending tongue for engaging an opening in one of the product tabs.

Quarter pallet with product tab receiving areas for products carried thereon

Wheeled quarter dolly

A pallet for transporting products thereon includes a top having a product support surface and an opposing underside, and with outer sides extending between the product support surface and the opposing underside. The top includes a hand access hole extending through the top and located at a center of gravity of the pallet. Four feet each extend away from the underside of the top. Each foot has a first opening facing out through the product supporting surface for allowing stacking of such pallets.

Quarter pallet with hand access hole

A pallet for transporting products thereon includes a top having a product support surface and an opposing underside, and with outer sides extending between the product support surface and the opposing underside. Four feet each extend away from the underside of the top. Each foot has a first opening facing out through the product supporting surface so that the feet allow stacking of such pallets. At least one product tab receiving area is adjacent an edge of the top and has a parent slot within the top with a partially closed bottom forming a shelf and an opening adjacent the shelf. An inner slot extends through the opening adjacent the shelf so as to be recessed below the parent slot. The inner slot has a pair of spaced apart sidewalls, a closed bottom, and with one of the sidewalls having a projection extending towards the other sidewall.

A pallet for transporting products thereon, the pallet comprising a top with a product supporting surface and an opposing underside, four feet and at least four sides, wherein the four feet each extend away from the underside of the top, have a first opening facing out through the product supporting surface, and have an inner member extending from a further opening in the sole of the foot, the part of the sole surrounding the further opening connecting the inner member to an outer wall of the foot, and the inner member extending away from the sole towards the product supporting surface, the feet thus allowing stacking of a plurality of such pallets with the feet of a first such pallet extending into the first openings of a second such pallet, and with the inner member of the second such pallet extending into the second openings of the first such pallet.
