Description

The invention relates to a pallet for goods to be transported comprising a pallet body, which is set up so that an object with a fastening means can be fastened thereto.

Pallets for transporting and storing various items are widely used in transportation and storage. For example, standardized europallets made of wood are known, which are movable with a material handling vehicle such as a forklift or a lift truck. On these pallets a per se any object can be stored and preferably fixed with straps to prevent slippage of the object relative to the pallet during transport. Furthermore, pallets are known which are specially adapted to an object to be transported.

From the DE 699 25 299 T2 is known a range for coil-shaped objects. Also the DE 20 2006 007 686 U1 describes a transport pallet for transportable goods.

With such specially designed pallets, however, practically only a certain object can be safely transported, so that a complex storage of different pallets is necessary for different items. Special pallets are also transported as empties because the goods to which they are adapted are usually delivered to a destination only. Furthermore, it is customary to remove the cargo at its destination of a pallet and to attach to a further special recording for in-house transport, for example, for a machining of the cargo.

The invention has for its object to provide a pallet of the type mentioned, which makes it possible to convey different goods to be transported in a simple manner and to store, the goods to be transported is securely fastened to the pallet.

According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

A pallet for transporting objects comprises a pallet body, on which at least one object can be fixed with a fastening means. At least one corner column and / or plate and / or side wall and / or a floor can be arranged on the pallet body.

With the optional pallet system, it is now possible to variably adapt a basic pallet in the modular and standardized modular principle to the respective cargo in terms of weight, size and shape.

The core idea of the invention is that the pallet consists of a usually flat and / or rectangular pallet body to which the different objects, such as corner columns, plate, side walls and / or floors, are to be replaceably attached to the pallet always to the transported goods adapt. This is on the one hand a safe transport of the cargo, such as a sheet metal coil, bulk material, or the like ensured and avoided transport of empty pallets, since the pallets are adaptable to other types of cargo through a conversion. For example, it is possible to arrange a plurality of trays and / or plates, which are also loaded with goods to be transported, or to remove a tray or a plate with the transported goods fastened thereon from the pallet body and, for example, to supply them to an internal logistics system. It is also conceivable to attach the pallet body or the floor or the plate with the transported goods on a processing machine, such as a grinding, milling or boring machine.

The pallet body has feet, so that he, for example, with a transport vehicle, is traversable and is provided at least at its four corners, each with a corner pillar. These corner pillars are arranged either releasably attachable to the pallet body, for example in tubular receptacles or the like, or they are firmly connected to the pallet body. In turn, at the corner pillars and / or on the pallet body, one or more objects can be fastened to the pallet as transport goods or plates or trays or the like with fastening means known per se, such as tension straps. Preferably, however, further devices are provided to store any objects and transport them. These further devices, ie the plates, side walls and / or bottoms, are each adapted to the cargo in order to secure it securely to the pallet, in particular in a positive and / or non-positive manner, and are preferably designed as described below.

Of course, it is possible, for example, for transporting a metal roll or a rolled sheet, a so-called coil, or a wire roll, on the pallet body itself and / or the interchangeable bottom projections or the like form or attach to clamp the coil in between and against slipping to secure. Also, the pallet does not necessarily have to be rectangular, but could be triangular with three corner pillars or have some other geometry. Likewise, the Pallet still movable with a conventional industrial truck.

There is the advantage that only the other devices are to be adapted to any object to be transported and thus the stockpiling is substantially reduced.

The subclaims represent advantageous embodiments of the invention.

Preferably, the corner pillars are assigned to the pallet body pivotable and / or telescopic. For example, the corner pillars can be pivoted for space-saving storage of the pallet so that they rest on the pallet body and when they are needed to secure a cargo, a pivoting takes place in an upright position substantially perpendicular to the pallet body. To adapt to different height objects are designed telescopic. In this case, a corner column can be pivoted either directly or via an intermediate hinge on the pallet body and / or, for example, to a third or half their height. Likewise, the corner column can be varied in length, for example, by pulling / pushing together tubular segments. Similarly, extension pieces can be used to increase the height of the corner pillar. It is understood that locking means are provided to lock the corner pillar in their respective position and / or length.

Furthermore, it is proposed that standardized connection means are arranged on the pallet body, preferably on its feet arranged in the corner regions, in order either to connect a plurality of pallets to form a larger unit or to fix the pallet itself to a suitably equipped base. Likewise, such connecting means may be arranged on the upper side of the corner pillars to connect stacked pallets together. The connection means, so-called twist locks, are for example after DIN ISO 1161 designed as a lock. Of course, it is possible that alternatively or additionally rollers, wheels or the like are arranged on the pallet, in particular by means of the twist locks.

According to a further development, the plate and / or side wall and / or the floor is to be attached interchangeably to the corner pillars aligned perpendicular to a base surface of the plate body. Accordingly, the pallet can be converted into a kind of box, which of course does not have to be completely closed circumferentially. It can also be combined different elements to securely fix the cargo.

Conveniently, the plate and / or the bottom with grooves and / or a perforated grid and / or, in particular retractable, balls or rollers equipped to fix, for example, a clamping device, such as a strap or clamping screws or fixing bolts or inserts for positive retention of the transported goods , The plates or trays are arranged in particular either parallel to the ground plane of the pallet body on the corner pillars or the pallet body, for example hung or screwed to this, or attached perpendicular thereto between each two corner pillars. The fastening means, for example a tensioning belt, is then equipped at one end with a wedge corresponding to the groove, which is then fixed in its position in the groove by the tensile force applied by the tensioning belt. In the same way, the plates or bottoms, for example, have a breadboard to hook or tighten straps or other fasteners. Is preferably the bottom equipped with rollers or balls, then the cargo can be easily and under a relatively small amount of force spent on the pallet. After lowering the rollers or balls, the cargo is due to its own weight firmly on the ground. The lowering and lifting of the rolling body can be done pneumatically, hydraulically and / or mechanically.

In a further embodiment, fixing means for transporting goods are to be arranged interchangeably on the plate and / or the bottom. Advantageously, the fixing means comprise a V-shaped tray, which is preferably adjustable for fixing different diameters, and / or tension straps and / or clamping screws or the like. Preferably, the fixing agents are adapted to the cargo.

A further embodiment of the devices consists in baskets, preferably made of wire to receive cargo. The baskets can be attached to the pallet body and to the corner posts.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows:

The pallet 1 has a substantially rectangular pallet body 2 , for example, made of metal. At the four corners of the pallet body 2 is in each case a corner column 3 arranged, which here has a two-part construction, and segments 3a . 3b that includes, as through the row of holes 4 indicated, in different positions are fixed relative to each other to the corner column 3 to change in length. Furthermore, the corner pillars 3 at joints 5 relative to the pallet body 2 pivotable, for example, when not in use to obtain a smaller pack size.

In addition, the palette has 1 at their corners over standardized latches 6 , for example, so-called twist locks, around the pallet 1 with similar pallets 1 or more than one pallet body 2 to be able to connect to each other standing side by side to provide an enlarged base. At the corner pillars 3 are lateral plates 7 fastened in vertical orientation, with several grooves 8th are equipped. Furthermore, on the pallet body 2 a floor 9 arranged, which likewise with several grooves 8th Is provided. In the same way can plates 7 and floors 9 a breadboard 12 exhibit to a cargo 15 to attach positively and / or non-positively or mount a strap. In the grooves 8th each corresponding wedges, for example, for a tension belt or a tensioning belt can be hung. If this tension belt is then put under tension, an object which is in itself can be looped around and relative to the pallet 1 be lashed. Depending on the shape and size of course several straps are possible. In principle, you can also use several floors 9 as shelves at the corner pillars 3 fastened one above the other, each with grooves 8th and / or a breadboard 12 are equipped to transport several objects on top of each other.

In the second embodiment, which is in 2 is shown is between the corner pillars 3 the pallet 1 , in turn, on the pallet body 2 are arranged a basket 10 preferably inserted from wire and fastened, or formed a circumferential wire mesh. Thus, small parts, general cargo and the like can be stored and transported or as exemplified here a role 11 , bez. a coil 13 , To the pallets 1 to be able to stack, are also on the top of the corner pillars 3 each locks 6 arranged.

Further, it is possible in the grooves 8th of the soil 9 as fixing agent for the coil V-shaped shelves 14 opposite, and preferably adjustable for different diameters to arrange.
