Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stackable pallet, in particular for heavy loads, with a rectangular upper frame in plan, four corner posts and a patette base, which also has two lower stiffening struts connecting two corner posts in pairs.
- a palette is known, for example, from German published patent application DE-A-3 342 345.
- a known pallet of this type can be used on the one hand as a shelf module by placing several pallets on top of one another for this purpose. On the other hand, it is also possible to stack several pallets compactly one inside the other for better use of product and storage rooms when not in use. The stacking is u. a.
- the two rear corner posts are narrower than the two front corner posts, so that the rear corner posts have space between the side struts of the upper frame of another pallet when stacked together.
- struts are proposed in the known pallet which divide the surfaces of the side parts in the vertical position and can be folded down into a horizontal position. Folding down is absolutely necessary, otherwise the pallets would no longer be stackable.
- the known pallets Before the known pallets can be stacked one inside the other, it is necessary to loosen the locking pins that lock the struts in the vertical position and to fold the struts into the horizontal position, which is time-consuming when stacking a large number of pallets.
- the known range is also completely open towards the front, so that the load is not prevented from falling out.
- a further pallet has become known from French patent specification FR-A-1 475 070, of which several pallets can be placed on top of one another and several pallets can be stacked compactly one inside the other.
- the type of pallet proposed there only has walls on the two transverse sides to limit the storage space and is open on the other sides. There is therefore a risk of the cargo falling or rolling out even with this known pallet.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a type of pallet which allows both stacking on top of one another and compact stacking of several pallets without changes to the pallet, such as disassembly of individual parts, and in which the storage space for the load is largely limited on all sides so that even smaller loads are prevented from falling out.
- a pallet according to the invention is suitable for storing and transporting any goods.
- the pallet is intended to be used to transport heavy loads, for example frozen meat or other frozen foods.
- the goods are usually transported by truck on pallets. It is advantageous if the pallets have a standardized euro size of 120 cm in length and 100 cm in width, so that transportation by truck of any nationality is possible.
- the pallet has an all-round upper horizontal frame made up of two longitudinal frame tubes and two transverse frame tubes. However, only the longitudinal frame tubes lie on two corner posts, while the frame cross tubes lie outside the rectangle formed by the corner posts. This enables the corner posts of the next higher pallet to fit between the cross frame tubes of the lower pallet when the pallets are stacked compactly one inside the other.
- the outer distance between two corner posts is a small tolerance less than the distance between the opposite inner edges of the frame cross tubes, so that the pallets can be effortlessly inserted into one another without the risk of jamming.
- the trough-like receiving body for the cargo has an approximately U-shaped cross-section and is also dimensioned such that its maximum extension in the longitudinal direction of the pallet on each side is less than the distance between the inner edges of the frame cross tubes so that it fits between them.
- the receptacle body consists of two or more parallel U-shaped tubes which are arranged at a distance from one another. If smaller loads are to be picked up, a larger number of these U-tubes are arranged closer together. It is essential that the U-tubes are only connected to the top of the frame cross tubes so that this connection does not hinder the interlocking of the pallets.
- the receptacle body consists of a one-piece sheet metal tub with side walls which are slightly conical towards the tub bottom.
- the taper is required so that when the pallets are stacked one inside the other, the trays easily fit into one another.
- the sheet metal tray in turn only has a connection at the top to the frame cross tubes. It is also essential in both embodiments that there is sufficient space on the longitudinal sides between the receiving body and the frame longitudinal tubes, which takes up the corner posts of the upper pallets when the pallets are stacked one inside the other and is therefore preferably a multiple of the width of a corner post. The width of this space determines how many pallets can be stacked compactly.
- U-shaped tubular brackets are placed in reverse on the cross frame tubes, so that there is a rectangular space between these tubular brackets and the underlying cross frame tubes.
- This rectangular opening facilitates the removal of a pallet from a stack of several pallets stacked one inside the other with the forklift, which can reach into this opening. If several pallets stacked one inside the other are to be transported together, the forklift can reach under a lower stiffening strut of the bottom pallet, which connects two corner posts of a pallet in pairs, and lift the pallets together; in this case, the pallets are moved from the long side.
- the pallet consists of an upper rectangular frame which is closed on all sides and consists of two longitudinal frame tubes 2a, 2b and two transverse frame tubes 6a, 6b.
- This upper rectangular frame preferably has the EuroNorm dimensions 120 cm x 100 cm, but can also have any other dimension and, for example, also be square.
- the longitudinal frame tubes lie on the corner posts 1a, 1b. 1 c. 1d of the pallet, which preferably have a rectangular cross section like the frame tubes.
- the four corner posts are arranged so that they form a rectangle in plan view, the length dimension - measured from the outer edge to the outer edge of two corner posts 1a, 1b - is designated by X.
- the frame cross tubes 6a, 6b lie outside this rectangle spanned by the corner posts.
- the distance between the inner edges of the frame cross tubes 6a, 6b, which is denoted by Y, must be larger on each side by the tolerance dimension ⁇ 1 , i.e. a total of 2 x A, than the length dimension X, so that when cornering the corner posts of the next higher pallet between the Frame cross tubes of the underlying have enough space and tilting when stacking one another is prevented by means of a forklift.
- the receiving body for the cargo is formed from a plurality of parallel tubes 7 which are U-shaped in side view, the horizontal sections 8 of which form the pallet base and whose vertical sections 7a, 7b have spacers 9 at the upper leg ends, which are connected to the frame cross tubes 6a, 6b.
- the receiving body has no connection to the pallet frame or to the corner posts, since this would be a hindrance when the pallets are compactly stacked one inside the other.
- the outer distance of the vertical legs 7a, 7b, which is designated by Z, is due to the spacers 9 at the upper leg ends on each side by a tolerance dimension A 2 less than the distance Y of the inner edges of the frame cross tubes 6a, 6b, so that the receiving body of the upper pallet also has enough space when stacked compactly between the frame cross tubes of the lower pallet.
- an intermediate space 41 must remain on both sides, the width of which corresponds to the tube width of a corner post 1a or better a multiple of the width of a corner post, since in the case of compact stacking the pallets of the corner posts of one or more upper pallets is received by this space 41 of the lower pallets.
- FIG. 6 shows three pallets stacked one inside the other from the short side.
- the middle pallet is advantageously offset from the lower pallet to the right by about a corner post width.
- the upper pallet is offset from the lower one by a corner post width to the left.
- the right corner posts of the pallets are designated in Fig. 6 with 11a, 21a, 31 a.
- the vertical limbs of the left outer U-tubes of the receiving body of the pallets are designated 17a, 27a, 37a in the illustration.
- the space between the corner posts and the outer U-tube is so wide that three pallets can be stacked one inside the other.
- next higher pallet must be placed on the upper pallet when stacking.
- the space between the corner post and the outer U-tube is chosen wider, which is easily possible, for example, for the transport of larger loads.
- the width of the corner posts and U-tubes can also be reduced if goods of lower weight are to be transported with the pallet.
- la, 1b and 1c, 1d are each connected in pairs by lower stiffening struts 3a, 3b parallel to the upper longitudinal frame tubes, which prevent the corner posts from spreading apart when the pallet is loaded.
- no connection is provided on the transverse side of the pallet, between the corner posts 1b, 1, since this would be a hindrance when the pallets were stacked one inside the other.
- U-shaped pipe brackets 6c, 6d are placed on the frame cross tubes 6a, 6b, which together with the frame cross tubes form a rectangular frame with a rectangular opening 6e. The forklift can reach into this rectangular opening 6e when the pallet is to be lifted.
- FIG. 5 shows a view of three pallets stacked one inside the other from the long side of the pallet.
- 13a, 23a, 33a denote the lower stiffening struts, 12a, 22a, 32a the longitudinal frame tubes and 31a, 31b the two front corner posts of the uppermost pallet, 11a, 11b the two front corner posts of the lower pallet.
- FIG. 7 shows two pallets placed one on top of the other in a view from the long side of the pallet. It can be seen that the corner posts 21 a, 21 b of the upper pallet are on the corner posts 11a, 11b of the lower pallet. So that the pallets stand securely on one another, cylindrical cams 4 are arranged on the corner posts and correspondingly large cylindrical recesses 5 are provided in the feet of the corner posts, which receive the cams of the respective lower pallet. In order to stabilize the corner connection between corner posts 21a, 21b. And longitudinal frame tube 22a, angle plates 38 are provided there.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 show an alternative embodiment of the pallet according to the invention, in which the receiving body for the cargo consists of a one-piece sheet metal trough 40 with an essentially U-shaped cross section.
- the side walls 42 of the sheet metal trough 40 run slightly conically towards the pallet base 43. Since the largest dimension of the receiving body in the longitudinal direction of the pallet Z must in turn be less than the distance between the inner edges of the frame cross tubes Y, horizontal spacers 44 are provided which connect the side walls 42 of the sheet metal trough to the frame cross tubes 6a, 6b.
- the number of pallets that can be stacked one inside the other is determined by the width of the intermediate space 41 between the outer edge 45 of the sheet metal trough and the longitudinal frame tube and also by the tube width of the corner post.
- further vertical intermediate struts 14 can be provided on the long sides of the pallet for connecting the longitudinal frame tubes 2a, 2b to the lower stiffening struts 3a, 3b.
- the compact stacking of the pallets is made possible by this intermediate strive 14 not disabled.
- the area between the longitudinal frame tube 2a and the stiffening strut 3a on the long side of the pallet can even be completely closed, for example by a sheet metal, which has the advantage that the load is prevented from falling out on the long sides of the pallet.
