Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine zweiteilige Flachpalette als Stückgutträger zur Handhabung und Lagerung von Stückgütern. Die Flachpalette (1) besteht aus zwei identischen Platten (2), mit wenigstens einem an einer Längsseite (4) der Platte (2) angeordnetem Kopplungsmittel (3,30). Die Kopplungsmittel (3,30) werden von Griffelementen (3a,30a) und komplementär zu den Griffelementen (3,30a) ausgestalteten Aufnahmeelementen (3b,30b) gebildet. Die Griffelemente (3a,30a) der Platten (2) wirken mit den Aufnahmeelementen (3b,30b) der jeweils anderen Platte (2) zusammen.

The invention relates to a two-part flat pallet as cargo carriers for handling and storage of general cargo. The flat pallet (1) consists of two identical plates (2), with at least one on one longitudinal side (4) of the plate (2) arranged coupling means (3,30). The coupling means (3, 30) are formed by gripping elements (3a, 30a) and receiving elements (3b, 30b) designed to be complementary to the gripping elements (3, 30a). The gripping elements (3a, 30a) of the plates (2) cooperate with the receiving elements (3b, 30b) of the respective other plate (2).
