Reinforcement system and method for supporting stacked boxes and containers

Abstract

The present invention relates to a reinforcement system and method for supporting stacked containers or boxes, without resulting in damage to the contents and the containers themselves. The system comprises at least one pillar element (1) and at least one end shoulder element (2), where the at least one pillar element (1) is arranged in at least one corner of the stack formed by the containers, and where the at least one end shoulder element (2) is arranged at the lower and upper ends of each of the vertical corners of containers stack, where the pillar element (1) has a smaller dimension as measured by the sum of the containers heights along a vertical corner of the container stack between the terminal shoulder elements (2), so that the boxes or containers absorb part of the load before the pillar element (1) comes into contact with the upper terminal shoulder.
