Description

The The invention relates to a transport arrangement according to the features in the preamble of the protection claim 1.

The German utility model DE 20 2006 012 275.3 discloses a transport pallet and a transport arrangement with a transport pallet for fence or barrier elements, in which longitudinal beams and transverse beams form a horizontal, rectangularly configured support frame and in which the support frame holder arrangements are provided for plug-in receptacle of pipe ends of the uprights of fence or shut-off elements. Angle irons were used as longitudinal beams.

essential to the invention is that the fence or shut-off in a middle area the transport pallet higher are arranged as at least one platzierbares in an edge region of the transport pallet Fence or shut-off element. Placed in the edge area of the transport pallet Fence or shut-off elements act as sidewalls that fall sideways from holding feet of the Fence or barrier elements that can be transported on the transport pallet effectively prevent. The distance between the top edge of the longitudinal bars and the lower horizontal latch of the fence or shut-off elements it is so small that no holding feet through the space between a longitudinal spar and a fence or Shut off can be pushed. This design of a height-offset transport pallet has proved very successful. In practice, the slipping down of the support feet did not prevented only by the horizontal latch of the fence or shut-off, but in addition an upwardly projecting edge in the area of the longitudinal struts. This edge was realized by a welded web plate. Originally were the longitudinal spars made of angle iron. However, that had the disadvantage that the pallet is not longitudinal could be recorded with a fork lift, but only in Transverse direction. Therefore, the longitudinal spars were replaced by rectangular tubes for receiving a forklift fork were suitable. By eliminating the upturned thigh of an angle iron were required in rectangular tubes in the sequence of the welded web plates.

The Necessity of such an edge has resulted from that The lower end of the pipe ends stood on the transport frame. As in this case, the lower edge of the fence or shut-off elements in the height range the second layer of support feet, had the lower support feet through this Edge to be prevented from slipping down. This side edge has been a hindrance under certain handling conditions. Although that bothers Edge not, if the transport pallet is placed at ground level and the support feet only need to be raised. Partially, however, the transport pallet is on the back of a TRUCK. In this case, need the individual support feet at the chest height of the worker slightly raised and over the edge will be pulled. This is much more difficult than that Lifting stones from a lower transport pallet. By the relatively heavy holding feet exists at least a theoretical risk of injury.

Of these, Based on the object of the invention, a transport arrangement according to the characteristics in the preamble of claim 1 protection to further develop, to improve the loading and unloading of the transport pallet with holding feet and thereby reduce the risk of injury.

These Task is in a transport arrangement according to the features of the protection claim 1 solved.

advantageous Further developments of the inventive concept are the subject of the dependent claims.

Essential is that the pipe ends arranged one edge of the transport pallet Fence or shutoff in arranged laterally of the longitudinal bars pockets intervention. Through the laterally arranged pockets are the pipe ends the stanchions no longer on the support frame and thus not in Height of Pallet floor on, but are located next to the support frame in the bags. Thereby can positioned the edge arranged fence or shutoff deeper be as all the rest Fence or shut-off elements on the transport pallet, with the consequence that their lower edge is not just an upper layer of holding feet on the Transport pallet fixed, but even the lower layer of support feet. hereby deleted the hitherto required edge, e.g. a flat iron, without replacement.

in the Result can be the holding feet now very easily slide on the flat pallet floor, even if the Transport pallet arranged increased is, for example, on the back of a truck. Just like that it is easy to load the transport pallet as well possible. Only the edge arranged fence or shut-off must be removed to the height unhindered access to all Layers of each other to have stacked support feet.

Through the laterally arranged pockets angle iron or upwardly projecting flat iron in the edge region of the transport pallet can be completely eliminated. So far, such edge components on the entire length of the transport pallet were required. Accordingly extensive were the Welding work. In the solution according to the invention, it is only necessary to arrange two pockets each side of the longitudinal bars. The welds for fixing the pockets are overall much shorter than the welds for attachment of angle iron or flat iron.

In advantageous developments can the holder assemblies solvable or unsolvable be connected to the support frame. Detachable holder arrangements can thus removed during empty transport and during storage of the transport pallet in order to reduce the risk of accidents and save on transport or storage capacity.

The Holder arrangements are in particular pivotally mounted on the support frame. That way you can the holder assemblies folded advantageous when not in use so that they can not be lost or stolen.

The Holder arrangements are mounted so that below the fence elements on the holder assemblies at least two layers of support feet above the other can be transported on the support frame. If the transport pallet with e.g. 20 fence or Barrier elements can be loaded, there is a need for storage of 21 support feet. Depending on height and weight the holding feet are this inevitably stacked on the pallet floor. This is it necessary, a sufficiently high Provide space below the fence or barrier elements. This is advantageous by the greater height of the holder assemblies reached.

The Holder assemblies have stops on their sides over which they can be placed on the fence, which can be placed next to the holder or support shut-off elements. In other words, the holder assemblies are replaced by the fence or shut-off in the folded position fixed. In the Practice will be first put a border-side fence or shut-off in the pockets. Thereby the holder assemblies are in an upright position, in which they are fixed by the fence or shut-off and do not fold back can. Subsequently be more fence or shut-off on the holder assemblies plugged. At the same time, the loading of the transport pallet follows Holding feet. Finally, it will on the other long side a last fence or shut-off in the side of the longitudinal beams arranged pockets inserted, whereby the sliding down of the Holding feet of that Pallet bottom is reliably prevented. The pallet floor must of course also have retaining devices in the area of the holder arrangements, to prevent the holding feet stored on the transport pallet from the front slipping down from the transport pallet. These restraints therefore make a supplement to the long side Sidewalls, through the fence or shut-off elements inserted in the pockets be formed. Conveniently, are the restraints Angle iron or flat iron, which are welded to the cross beams.

Of the Pallet floor is in particular no closed area, but rather open and quasi designed as rust. It preferably consists of parallel to the cross beams and thus perpendicular to the longitudinal beams extending transverse struts, which are arranged at a distance from each other are that fall through with respect to the dimensions of the support feet safely prevented. The distance between the individual cross struts is sized so that each retaining foot always on at least two Cross struts, preferably on three cross struts, rests. All in all contains the support frame by the cross struts a ladder-like Structure, wherein the transverse bars or transverse struts form the sprouts. The Cross struts or rungs are preferably of T or angle iron formed, which in terms of their upper edge in particular flush with the longitudinal bars are aligned so that a flat pallet floor without height offset between longitudinal beams and gives the cross struts. The aim is to create the most unhindered loading and unloading Unloading the support feet to allow i.e. to avoid as far as possible the edges protruding upwards.

optional one is pivotable on the longitudinal bars stocked or an attachable center support provided. The center support serves the support shorter Shut-off elements that are not over the entire length of the Transport pallet and hold their ends only on a holder assembly are. Through the center support these shut-off elements are kept in a horizontal position. Conveniently, is the center support associated with at least one blocking element, via which the middle support in a is held upright position.

Shut-off elements are usually much shorter than fence elements, so that even with an overall shorter range holding feet in more than two layers must be stacked. As a result, there may not be enough space for a center support available. It is therefore provided in an advantageous development to provide the holder assemblies drop down brackets that serve as additional footprint for pipe ends of shut-off. The fold-down brackets are folded down towards the center of the transport pallet, so that even shorter shut-off elements, which are plug-in at one end, can be supported with their other pipe ends on a footprint. Since the shut-off elements are mutually plugged in, is such a console folded down to the center on each holder assembly required. The folding down of the consoles is important because the holder assemblies are pivoted for transport, ie also folded down towards the middle. Thus, the consoles are not a hindrance when folding down the holder assemblies, they can be folded up for transport, so that they are effectively arranged in alignment with the holder assembly and thus rest flat overall on the pallet base during transport.

In Inventive training are the pockets provided with upwardly pointing spacer elements, on which the lower edge of an inserted fence or shutoff rests. It is considered advantageous in this context that the lower edge is located approximately in the middle third of a holding foot. Preferably, the distance corresponds to the lower edge of the upper side of the pallet floor of the half the height of one Holding the foot. The spacer elements also have the function, the lower ends Do not project the tube elements too far down over the pockets to let. Preferably, the transport pallet has a total of one relatively low height, which is why Also, the pockets preferably have a height that is not greater as the height the longitudinal bars and in particular the height the longitudinal bars equivalent. The pockets are preferably cut to length rectangular profile tubes, the alongside with the longitudinal bars welded are open at the top and bottom with respect to their insertion are. The elongated one Shape allows a length compensation the fence or shut-off elements.

One Another advantage of these laterally arranged pockets is that the fence or shut-off elements now plugged with both pipe ends are attached and not only one-sided to the holder assemblies so that they are neither at one end nor at the other Can slip off the end of the transport pallet. The insertion depth is greater than in the area of the holder assembly, which ultimately provides a security gain represents, even with a distortion of the transport frame by excessive or improper use it is ensured that peripheral fence or barrier elements Do not slip out of the pockets and because it also ensures is that the holding feet on the Transport pallet remain. If the transport frame with improper use twisted, can the pipe ends in the pockets even jam, leaving one Jumping out impossible becomes.

1 shows a transport arrangement with a transport pallet 1 on which a fence element 2 is plugged. The transport arrangement also includes holding feet 3 . 4 stacked on a pallet floor 5 the transport pallet are.

An essential part of the invention is the transport pallet 1 , The transport pallet as used in the 2 to 4 is shown, comprises a horizontal, rectangular configured support frame with mutually parallel longitudinal beams 7 . 7a , which have outer crossbars 8th . 8a as well as inner crossbars 9 . 9a connected to each other. In addition, a variety of transverse webs extends 10 parallel to the crossbars 8th . 8a and thus perpendicular to the longitudinal beams 7 . 7a , The cross struts 10 form together with the rectangular cross-sectionally configured longitudinal beams 7 . 7a and the outer crossbars 8th . 8a the pallet floor 5 out, on which the holding feet 3 . 4 can be stored.

Another essential part of the transport pallet 1 is a holder assembly 11 , which is about the axis A to the center of the support frame 6 can be pivoted. Such holder arrangements 11 are located at each end of the transport pallet 1 , In 2 are the holder assemblies 11 in an upright position, in which they are used to plug in fence elements 2 to be ready. For transport, the holder arrangements 11 folded down, so that results in a lower height during transport.

Loaded or unloaded transport pallets 1 can be transported by means of a forklift fork. The truck forks are in the transverse direction in the inner crossbars 9 . 9a and in the longitudinal direction in the longitudinal struts 7 . 7a insertable. Both the crossbars 9 . 9a as well as the longitudinal bars 7 . 7a are configured rectangular. The crossbars 9 . 9a are located below the longitudinal spars 7 . 7a , The transport pallet 1 stands on the crossbars 9 . 9a on. In addition, in the corner area of the transport pallet 1 support legs 12 arranged over which the transport pallet 1 also gets up on the floor. The crossbars 8th . 8a as well as the support feet 12 give a ground clearance of the transport pallet, which allows a transport with Handhubgeräten. The ground clearance is 10 cm.

Essential in the transport pallet according to the invention 1 is that side of the longitudinal spars 7 . 7a Bags 13 are arranged, in which edge each have a fence or shut-off 2 can be inserted. The fence or barrier elements 2 have at their ends each vertically extending stanchions 14 that when erecting a fence or a barrier in holding feet 3 . 4 be plugged. Therefore, pipe ends protrude 15 over which stand between the stanchions 14 extending lower edge 16 in front. The lower edge 16 the fence element is therefore always lower than the upper edge of the associated holding foot 3 ,

As based on the 1 can be seen, is the lower edge 16 in terms of their height approximately in the middle of the lower holding foot 3 , so that this side does not depend on the transport pallet 1 can slip down. Further, not shown fence elements can on the holder assemblies 11 be plugged. For this purpose, the holder assemblies 11 mounted at a height that has a corresponding number of support feet 3 . 4 can be carried, the number of fence elements 2 equivalent. Strictly speaking, a holding foot must 3 . 4 be carried more than fence elements 2 on the transport pallet 1 are arranged.

In 1 is a dash-dotted line drawn, which is the lower edge 17 to illustrate those fence elements on the holder assemblies 11 are plugged. It can be seen that in this embodiment two layers of support feet 3 . 4 can be transported one above the other, with the upper layer of holding feet 4 comfortably under the middle of the transport pallet 1 arranged fence elements 2 fits.

Based on 4 it becomes clear that the corners and the longitudinal side of the longitudinal struts 7 arranged pockets 13 each with upwardly facing spacer elements 18 are provided. The spacer elements 18 are on the facing sides of the pockets 13 arranged so that the lower edge 16 in the pockets 13 inserted fence element 2 on the upper edge of the spacer elements 18 can support. This will prevent the bottom edge 16 on the upper edge of the pockets 13 rests. Because the bags 13 not above the level of the pallet floor 5 projecting upwards, would the fence elements 2 without the spacers too deep in the pockets 13 slip, leaving their pipe ends 15 too far out of the pockets open at the bottom 13 protrude. It is therefore considered expedient if the lower edge 16 approximately in the middle height range of the lower layers of holding feet 3 located. The spacer elements 18 therefore have a length that is between 40 and 60% of the height of the support feet to be carried 3 lies.

The bags 13 are in cross-section rectangular configured hollow sections, which is a limited displacement of the inserted fence element 2 allow in the longitudinal direction.

Based on 3 It can be seen that the inner crossbars 9 . 9a on the outside so far over the longitudinal bars 7 . 7a protrude that with the bags 13 make an escape. This will ensure that in the pockets 13 salaried fence or barrier elements are not damaged by a stacking fork is inserted deeply into the crossbars. The length of the inner crossbars 9 . 9a thus determines the width of the transport pallet 1 , The outer crossbars 8th . 8a extend over the outer longitudinal sides of the longitudinal bars 7 . 7a to the pockets 13 , The outer crossbars 8th . 8a are unlike the inner crossbars 9 . 9a or the longitudinal beams 7 . 7a not designed as hollow profiles, as only in the inner crossbars 9 . 9a or the longitudinal struts 7 . 7a a forklift fork should be insertable. These are the longitudinal bars 7 . 7a or the inner crossbars 9 . 9a designed as rectangular tubes, which are stiffened against each other.

The fence elements 2 However, at the same time serve to fix the holder assemblies 11 in an upright position. This is most vividly illustrated by the 5 to 7 be explained. The illustrated holder assembly 11 includes a horizontal truss 19 from an angle iron. On top of the crossbar 19 are pipe sections at regular intervals 20 arranged to plug in the pipe ends 15 the fence or shut-off elements 2 , Below the horizontal truss 19 are two vertical columns 21 arranged, which also consist of angle iron. A parallel to the longitudinal beams 7 . 7a oriented thigh of the supports 21 is provided at its lower end with a bore through which a bolt can be passed to the supports 21 and thus the holder assembly 11 pivotable with the support frame 6 connect to. This is located on the support frame 11 a holder 22 that with the props 21 can be connected. The lower ends of the columns 21 are rounded off to one side, so that the holder elements 11 only inwards, ie to the middle of the transport pallet 1 , can be folded down. The holder arrangements 11 can be secured in their upright position by the traverse end 19 above attacks 23 on the stanchions 14 the one in the pockets 13 rested fence or shut-off elements.

The fence elements 2 are mutually on the holder assemblies 11 plugged, so that in each case a pipe end 15 a fence element 2 with a piece of pipe 20 engaged while the other tube end 15 on the top of the crossbar 19 stands. As a result, length tolerances between the individual fence elements can be better compensated than with two-sided plug-in holders. To a sliding down of the outside of the holder assembly 11 arranged fence element 2 To prevent, is at one end of the traverse 19 a final piece 24 arranged in the form of an upwardly facing sheet.

The 8th and 9 show holder arrangements 11 , each one around a console 25 are supplemented. In 8th is the console 25 to see in their folded up position. In 9 is the console 25 to see in her down folded position. The consoles 25 serve as it were to increase the footprint for the pipe ends 15 in the area of the traverse 19 , The console 25 is in the folded down position according to 9 at the same height as the footprint of the traverse 19 , so that it is increased in size, so to speak. Based on 8th it can be seen that the console 25 in the folded position, do not cross the long side of the crossbeam 19 protrudes, so that the pivotable holder assembly 11 also with the console 25 flat on the pallet floor 5 can be swiveled.
