Pallet for high center of gravity loads

A pallet configured for a high center of gravity load, comprising:

• a deck having a first side, a second side disposed opposite the first side, a third side, and a fourth side disposed opposite the third side, and wherein both the first side and the second side extend between both third side and the fourth side;
• a plurality of support structures coupled to and disposed underneath the deck;
• a first door coupled to and centrally disposed along the first side;
• and
• a second door coupled to and centrally disposed along the second side, wherein the first door and the second door are each configured to move between an open position and a closed position, wherein both first door and the second door are coupled to the first side and the second side respectively via respective slow self-closing hinges, wherein the respective slow self-closing hinges are configured to respectively enable, upon opening to the open position, the first door and the second door to self-close at a rate that provides enough time for forks of a jacket pallet to access a central space underneath the deck but does not provide enough time for forks of a forklift to access the central space, and wherein the central space is unstable for lifting the high center of gravity load disposed on the pallet with the forklift, and wherein both the first door and the second door in the open position extend outward from the deck and are substantially aligned with the deck.

A pallet configured for equipment of a medical imaging system having a high center of gravity, comprising:

• a deck having a first side, a second side disposed opposite the first side, a third side, and a fourth side disposed opposite the third side, and wherein both the first side and the second side extend between both third side and the fourth side;
• a plurality of support structures coupled to and disposed underneath the deck, wherein the plurality of support structures comprise:
• a first door coupled to and centrally disposed along the first side;
• and
• a second door coupled to and centrally disposed along the second side, wherein the first door and the second door are each configured to move between an open position and a closed position, wherein the support structures comprise a first stopper structure centrally located underneath the deck and a second stopper structure centrally located underneath the deck, wherein the first stopper structure and the second stopper structure are located closer to the first door and the second door respectively, the first stopper structure and the second stopper structure are respectively aligned in parallel with the first door and the second door, and wherein both the first stopper structure and the second stopper structure are configured to block full access to forks of a forklift in a direction extending between the first side and the second side in a central space underneath the deck, and wherein both the first door and the second door in the open position extend outward from the deck and are substantially aligned with the deck.
