Abstract
Description
Claims (19)
- A transport unit (1) comprising a plurality of panels (2) selected from a group consisting of insulating panels including fibre and foam based insulating panels and/or other fibre and foam based panels, said panels being stacked in one or more adjoined stacks to form a pile of panels (2) shaped as a substantially rectangular prism having a bottom surface, a top surface, a front surface, a back surface and at least two side surfaces, said transport unit (1) further comprising one or more carrying feet (4) for carrying the pile of panels (2), wherein said carrying feet (4) are panels selected from the group consisting of insulating panels including fibre and foam based insulating panels and/or other fibre and foam based panels, characterized in that the bottom surface is supported using one or more support elements (3), wherein at least one of said support elements (3) has a length of at least 15 %, preferably 50 % of the perpendicular distance between the front surface and the back surface, said one or more support elements (3) being at least partially in contact with the carrying feet (4) and representing the interface between the bottom surface of the panel pile and the carrying feet (4).
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 1, wherein the one or more support elements (3) have a tensile strength which is essentially higher than the tensile strength of the one or more panels lying closest to the one or more support elements (3).
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the one or more support elements (3) have a tensile strength above 4 MPa measured in the length direction according to ASTM D638.
- A transport unit (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein one or more support elements (3) support the one or more panels (2) lying closest to the one or more support elements (3) and/or support the bottom surface of the substantially rectangular prism.
- A transport unit (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein one or more support elements (3), if more than one, are parallel to each other, said one or more support elements (3) having a length corresponding to the length of one or more panels (2), and having a width corresponding to 10-20 % of the width of one or more panels (2), and having a thickness corresponding to 1-20 % of the thickness of one or more panels (2).
- A transport unit (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein one or more support elements (3) in the longitudinal direction are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the one or more carrying feet (4).
- A transport unit (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein one or more support elements (3) are made of a material selected from the group consisting of wood, plastic, metal or cardboard.
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 7, wherein one or more support elements (3) made of metal or plastic has a ⊥-shape, T-shape, a π-shape or an L-shape.
- A transport unit (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein one or more adjoined stacks being supported using one or more body-belts (6), wherein at least one of said body-belts (6) covers at least 15 %, preferably 30 % of the surface area of said one or more adjoined stacks.
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 9, wherein one or more body-belts (6) are placed all around the one or more stacks in vertical or horizontal direction.
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 9 or 10, wherein one or more body-belts (6) are made of a flexible or elastic material.
- A transport unit (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the panels (2) are rectangular and/or bendable.
- A transport unit (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said top surface being applied with one or more support frames (5) or two or more support corners.
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 13, wherein said support frame (5) has a dimension and shape corresponding to the dimension and shape of the top surface of the pile of panels (2), said support frame covering 10-25 % of the size of said top surface of the pile of panels (2).
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 13, wherein said support corners have a dimension and shape corresponding to the dimension and shape of the corner of the pile of panels (2), said support corners being constituted by the joining of the top surface, a side surface and a front or back surface, respectively, of the pile of panels (2).
- A transport unit (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said stack of panels (2) being applied with a tape or a glasfiber bond preferably wrapped around the one or more adjoined stacks to form a pile of panels (2) or placed in the length direction of the panels (2).
- A transport unit (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein one or more support elements (3), two or more carrying feet (4) and the pile of panels (2) applied with a support frame (5) or two or more support corners are partly or totally surrounded by a foil.
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 17,. wherein said foil is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride or polyvinyl alcohol.
- A transport unit (1) according to claim 17 or 18, wherein said foil has a thickness of 10-200 µm and more preferably a thickness of 15-60 µm.
