Pool

is a term for a form of organization of reusable units, in particular loading aids and transport aids such as pallets, containers, crates, transport racks, clothes hangers, etc.
The main differences in pool organization are whether they are open or closed pools, how ownership is regulated and how and by whom management is carried out. In general, it can also be said that in a pool there are several partners or players with common interests.
