DE4031251C2 - Pallet for the transport and storage of dangerous goods - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a pallet for transport and Storage of dangerous goods, in the case of an as Grid-shaped support base for dangerous goods containers a leakage drip tray with a stable sub-floor is arranged and the support base a protruding Safety edge with fastening devices for Has transportation locks.

Pallets make it much easier in industry and trade Transport and handling of goods. Larger palletized Quantities of goods can be transported using a pallet truck or forklift be moved and implemented quickly and efficiently. Often dangerous goods such as oils in drums, Operating materials in canisters or paints and varnishes in cans, but also powder or granular poisons in Plastic containers, transported and stored. In the rough Everyday operation can cause leaks, especially at Bung openings and filling or outlet openings occur, from which the dangerous goods emerge and then, often already with small quantities, the environment is significantly polluted. In the case of a combustible dangerous good results in an environmental hazard the considerable risk of inflammation, for example leaked gasoline.  

By DE-GM 88 03 695, 89 13 716 and 90 02 796 are Pallets for the transport and storage of dangerous goods known in which below one as a grating trained tray for dangerous goods containers a Leakage collecting tray is arranged.

This Leakage collecting tray already provides a high level Safety regarding environmental protection and fire containment if the leakage liquid ignites, however, they show no device with which to ignite the Leakage fluid prevented or a deletion resulting fire is relieved.

The invention has for its object a generic Pallet regarding a possibility of fire prevention or to improve fire extinguishing.

To achieve this object, the invention provides that the bottom of the sump is curved upwards and the outer edge of the tub bottom as one Leakage gutter is formed at the deepest Place is provided with a closable drain that in the side walls of the drip pan Gas valve connection coupling for filling with extinguishing gas is provided and that at the upper edges of the Catch pan facing inwards and inclined downwards Baffles for holding down the extinguishing gas are attached.

In the pallet according to the invention, any Leakage fluid in an edge, through the inclined Baffles collected in the room in which Fire a very concentrated extinguishing gas atmosphere can be made by the Gas valve connection coupling z. B. a carbonated bottle is connected. In the case of particularly dangerous goods  even during critical situations Extinguishing gas atmosphere can be maintained to one To prevent inflammation from the outset.

According to the invention, the underbody can be part of the Be a collecting pan, in which case the collecting pan however, it must be appropriately stable. According to the invention, the sub-floor is preferably as separate mezzanine carrying the drip pan trained who sits on corner feet and over Intermediate corner pieces support the supporting floor.

The object of the invention is described below explained in more detail in the drawing, in which:

Fig. 1, in a perspective view a pallet according to the invention

Fig. 2, the pallet of FIG. 1 with the tray and removed

Fig. 3 shows a cross section through the pallet according to the sectional plane III / III in FIG. 1.

The pallet consists of a base 2 provided with corner feet 1 and a support base 4 for dangerous goods 5 supported by intermediate corner pieces 3 on the base 2 . A collecting trough 6 is arranged in the space between the sub-floor 2 and the supporting floor 4 , the side edges 7 of which take up about half the height of the space and have guide plates 8 directed inwards at their upper edge. The bottom of the tub 6 has drainage slopes on all sides, and its edge regions are designed as a circumferential collecting channel 9 which is overlapped by the guide plates 8 . In the side walls 7 of the drip pan, a connection coupling 10 for extinguishing gas is provided, to which, for example, a carbon dioxide bottle can be connected with its standard connection. At a deepest point, the collecting channel 9 is provided with a leakage drain 11 , which is normally closed by an outlet screw connection 12 .

The support base 4 is in the embodiment as a seated on the corner pieces 3 forms grating, which is bordered by a raised safety edge 13 . The safety edge 13 is also with fasteners 14 , especially holes, for attaching transportation locks, for. B. belts, see ver.

The device described is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown. For example, the sub-floor 2 itself can be formed as a load-bearing tub floor.
