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 securely attachable to the pallet and the pallet itself can be stored and transported to save space.

According to the invention the object is solved by the features of the independent claims.

The subclaims represent advantageous embodiments of the invention.

A pallet for transporting objects comprises a pallet body, which is formed at least on the foot side from a peripheral raw frame whose longitudinal and / or end frame parts are telescopic.

Alternatively or additionally, at least one object with a fastening means can be fixed to the pallet body. 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.

Since the pallet body is formed at least on the foot side from a peripheral raw frame whose longitudinal and / or end frame parts are telescopic, the pallet body can be increased or reduced in size such that it corresponds to standard dimensions, is adaptable to a locking or locking system, in a transport container or on a chassis, in particular locked in contrast, to transport or to place on a machine table or the like. For size adjustment, the frame parts may be formed in two, three or more parts, of course, the individual sections are lockable, for example, have a grid hole pattern for Einsteckbolzen or screw.

The telescopic tubular frame of the pallet is specially designed for the so-called combined transport traffic, especially for adaptation when changing customs systems and metric systems. This means that a load on a lorry must have a general cargo dimension of 2400 mm in width, in the case of a container / sea container a width of 2285 mm is required, for a railway wagon a width of at least 2850 mm. To compensate for the prior art additional load securing, such as squared timbers, air bags or the like used. With the invention, a simple and rapid adaptation, possibly using spacers or the like, to the different transport systems is possible by the telescoping.

Another idea of the invention is that the pallet consists of a usually flat and / or rectangular or frame-shaped 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 adapt to the cargo. 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 it is possible to arrange a plurality of trays and / or plates, which are also equipped with transport items, one above the other or to take a floor or a plate with the transported goods fastened thereon to 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 other devices, ie the plates, side walls, shelves and / or floors are each substantially adapted to the cargo to secure this to the pallet, in particular positive and / or non-positive, and are preferably formed 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 pinch the coil in between and against slipping to back up. 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 range is 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.

Due to the changeable deposits of the pallet, so-called superstructures, a reuse of the pallet for new general cargo as a load carrier is possible. In the same way, the pallet is removable and reusable.

A special transport rack for a product, such as a dashboard, a radiator or fender or the like is used in the prior art only until a model change takes place. Thereafter, the Caddy is replaced by a new Caddy.

With the pallet according to the invention, only a new receptacle has to be mounted.

Preferably, the corner pillars are assigned to the pallet body pivotable and / or telescopic. For example, the corner pillars for space-saving storage of the pallet can be pivoted 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. 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. In order to adapt to objects of different heights, the corner pillars are designed to be telescopic, and accordingly the corner pillar can be varied in length by, for example, pulling or 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.

In order to make the pallet body at its top variable in size and yet stable, the corner pillars are spaced from the foot side longitudinally and / or frontally connected to telescopic and / or removable frame members. These can be mounted vertically and diagonally. These are, for example, as in the bottom-side tubular frame to two-, three- or multi-part trained and lockable frame members.

Furthermore, it is proposed that standardized connection means are arranged on the pallet body, preferably at 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 ground, for example a chassis, in one Transport container, on a machine frame of the like. Likewise, such connecting means may be arranged on the upper side of the corner pillars to connect stacked pallets together. The connecting means, for example for 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. The standardized latches are to be arranged at certain intervals and to accept defined loads. The connecting means arranged on the pallet body are twist-lock corners, also referred to as container corners or corner fittings. Such twist-lock corners are known in the art and arranged, for example, on container corners.

According to a further development, the plate and / or side wall and / or the floor is to be attached interchangeably to the corner posts and / or frame parts or frame elements oriented perpendicular to a base area 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, for example, a clamping means, such as a strap or clamping screws or fixing bolts or inserts for positive holding of the transported goods to fix. 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.

Preferably, the floor is formed by means attached to the pallet body pipe or rail profiles. In this alternative to a plate-shaped bottom alternative configuration of the floor fasteners can be set variable, the bottom is preferably fixed in those areas of the plate body, which are not adjustable for telescoping. For example, the floor may be fixed to middle parts of the longitudinal and / or end frame parts, the middle parts being equipped with extendable end parts in order to change the pallet in the size of its base.

In a further embodiment, fixing means for transporting goods are to be arranged interchangeably on the plate and / or the bottom. The fixing means for the cargo can be kept, for example, in the pipe or rail profiles of the soil, in particular displaceable, or be mounted in a pitch pattern of, for example, plate-shaped bottom.

At the plate and / or the bottom fixer for the cargo are arranged interchangeably. The fixing means are selected as a function of the transported goods to be transported and arranged, for example, on the plate and / or the floor. 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. The V-shaped tray is a Coil Roller Impact V-Insert with screening.

According to a development, legs of the V-shaped tray have T-slots for fixing means and / or can be supported with respect to the floor by means of struts to be fastened adjustably. Accordingly, the V-shaped tray can be very variably adapted to different diameters of a cargo, which in turn is held by fixed in the T-slots of the tray fixing means, for example, with sliding blocks provided, support or clamping wedges or the like. Preferably, the fixing agents are adapted to the cargo.

Conveniently, fixing means for a plurality of transport goods, preferably different diameters and / or widths arranged. Accordingly, transport goods of very different dimensions can be safely transported with a pallet.

A further embodiment of the devices consists in baskets, preferably made of wire to receive cargo. The baskets or at least one grid wall may be attached to the pallet body and / or to the corner posts.
