ABSTRACT:
A storage container such as a bin or tank is received on a pallet having a shock isolation arrangement which will reduce damage to the container and the goods contained therein. The pallet is formed with a hollow square frame having rolled or otherwise formed edges arranged to retain rubber-like hose sections which engage the container sides adjacent each container corner and absorb horizontal plane shock as well as some vertical plane shock. Once the rubber hose sections are inserted in the pallet frame while the container is in position thereon, the sections will hold the frame and the container together so that they may be transported as a unitary assembly. The rubber-like hoses will continue to isolate the container from impacts transmitted to the pallet in typical handling operations. The assembly may be readily moved by a forklift or other similar equipment.
