I know this thread is more about consumer products rather than products in a professional setting, but I still have to bring up the four horseman of modern logistics, who have remained largely unchanged since the 1950s:

Shipping container:

Wooden pallet:

Pallet jack:

And metal barrel:

As well as their familiar friend Yellow Stanley knife:

There's also tape guns, but there doesn't seem to be a brand that is standard across warehouses, all I know is that every one I have ever used was a stupid piece of shit and I hate all of them.

Classic wooden barrels are largely unchanged since Ancient Egypt, and though they have grown less popular in modern times they are still in use in specialized industries:
