<p>An office furniture transport assembly (210) comprises an item of office furniture packaged with and carried by a pallet 220, which underhangs the item of packaged furniture G by a distance of 20-200mm around at least the majority of the package G. The pallet 220 is slatted 221, and the packaged furniture is held in place by external banding 225 and internal banding 226. Some of the bands may pass around the packaged furniture G and threaded between the closest upper slats 221 and between them. A sheet of impact resistant protective material may substantially cover the upper surface of the item of furniture, and another may be located beneath the furniture. Impact resistant corner protectors which may be L-shaped may further protect the item of furniture. Impact resistant cushioning material, which may be formed of polystyrene, may form further protective elements, in an item-enclosing container. A method of reducing the risk of damage of office furniture during transportation is also provided.</p> |
