Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Metallpalette mit einer Stellfüße aufweisenden Deckplatte und mit Verbindungstäben, die die Stellfüße zumindest teilweise miteinander verbinden, wobei die Deckplatte und die zumindest nach oben offenen Stellfüße zusammen Ausnehmungen für eine ineinandergreifende Stapelung der Metallpalette mit einer anderen formgleichen, unbeladenen Metallpalette ausbilden.The invention relates to a metal pallet with a cover feet having cover plate and with connecting rods which connect the feet at least partially, the cover plate and at least upwardly adjustable feet together form recesses for interlocking stacking the metal pallet with another identical, unloaded metal pallet.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind aus Kunststoff gefertigte, stapelbare Paletten bekannt ( DE 299 02 790 U1 ), deren Stellfüße auf ihrer Unterseite Ausnehmungen aufweisen und über Verbindungsstäbe, die in diese Ausnehmungen einragen, miteinander verbunden sind. Des Weiteren zeigt die EP 2 067 708 A1 eine Palette mit einem über die Längsseite der Palette durchgehenden Fuß, der nach oben ragende Abstützteile aufweist, wodurch die Stabilität der Palette verbessert werden soll. Zwar können derartige Paletten eventuell Vorteile hinsichtlich ihrer Stabilität liefern, auch eine nestbare Stapelbarkeit ist in gewissem Ausmaß berücksichtigt, jedoch ist beispielsweise ihre Herstellung bzw. ihre Bauform vergleichsweise aufwendig und/oder nur sehr eingeschränkt für Metallpaletten anwendbar. Aus der US 3,167,341 ist eine Metallpalette bekannt, die Stellfüße aufweist, auf deren, dem Boden zugewandten Seite Verbindungsstäbe angebracht sind. Zudem zeigt die Deckplatte dieser Metallpalette Öffnungen, sodass ihre ineinandergreifende Stapelung ermöglicht werden kann. Eine derartige Ausführungsform kann zwar Vorteile hinsichtlich der Stabilität und Handhabung liefern, allerdings ergeben sich beispielsweise Nachteile hinsichtlich der Kontur der Palettenunterseite. Des Weiteren weist die Deckplatte einer derartigen Palette vergleichsweise große Unterbrechungen auf, was sich unter anderem nachteilig auf deren mögliche Beladung auswirkt.From the prior art made of plastic, stackable pallets are known ( DE 299 02 790 U1 ), whose adjustable feet have recesses on their underside and are connected to each other via connecting rods which protrude into these recesses. Furthermore, the shows EP 2 067 708 A1 a pallet with a foot passing over the longitudinal side of the pallet, which has upwardly projecting support parts, whereby the stability of the pallet is to be improved. Although such pallets may provide advantages in terms of stability, and a nestable stackability is taken into account to some extent, however, for example, their production or their design is relatively expensive and / or only very limited applicable to metal pallets. From the US 3,167,341 For example, a metal pallet is known, which has adjustable feet, on whose, the ground-facing side connecting rods are mounted. In addition, the cover plate of this metal pallet shows openings, so that their interlocking stacking can be made possible. Although such an embodiment can provide advantages in terms of stability and handling, but for example, there are disadvantages in terms of the contour of the pallet base. Furthermore, the cover plate of such a pallet comparatively large interruptions, which, inter alia, adversely affects their possible loading.

Die Erfindung hat sich daher die Aufgabe gestellt, ausgehend vom Stand der Technik eine Metallpalette derart zu verbessern, dass diese in unbeladenem Zustand mit einer formgleichen Metallpalette nestbar, also ineinandergreifend stapelbar, ist und so die Bildung eines stabilen und in seinem Platzbedarf sparsamen Stapels ermöglicht, zusätzlich aber auch besonders hohe Standfestigkeit aufweist. Zudem sollte die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Metallpalette vergleichsweise einfach erfolgen können.The invention is therefore based on the object, starting from the prior art to improve a metal pallet so that it nestable in the unloaded state with a similar metal pallet, so interlocking stackable, and thus allows the formation of a stable and economical in its space stack, but also has particularly high stability. In addition, the preparation of the metal pallet according to the invention should be relatively easy to do.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, dass die in die Stellfüße eingesetzten Verbindungstäbe mit dem Boden der Stellfüße verbunden sind und dass die Deckplatte an Verlauf und Abmessungen der Verbindungsstäbe angepasste Ausnehmungen aufweist.The invention solves this problem by the fact that the connecting rods used in the feet are connected to the bottom of the feet and that the cover plate has adapted to the course and dimensions of the connecting rods recesses.

Sind die Verbindungstäbe mit dem Boden der Stellfüße verbunden, kann auf einfache Weise die - materialbedingt ohnehin hohe - Standfestigkeit einer Metallpalette, insbesondere auch hinsichtlich ihrer Stellfüße weiter verbessert werden. Belastungen auf Stellfüße können erfindungsgemäß nämlich erleichtert abgetragen bzw. verteilt werden, wodurch die Gefahr von Deformationen von Stellfüßen, etwa bei einem Absetzen / Aufprall einer Metallpalette auf den Boden - insbesondere natürlich im beladenen Zustand - verringert werden kann. So kann also mithilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Metallpalette die Gefahr von Formveränderungen von Stellfüßen reduziert werden, welche wiederum eine ineinandergreifende Stapelbarkeit beeinträchtigen würde. Des Weiteren können in Stellfüße eingesetzte Verbindungsstäbe auch einfach und trotzdem standfest mit einem Metallfuß verbunden werden - womit die auf der Innenseite des Stellfußes positioniert Verbindungsstellen vor direkten Belastungen - etwa durch Zusammenstöße mit Zinken eines Transportgeräts - geschützt sind. Eine besonders standfeste Metallpalette kann so geschaffen werden. Auch können durch in die Stellfüße eingesetzte Verbindungstäbe nachteilige Veränderungen des Profilverlaufs einer Metallpalette etwa durch Schweißnähte im Bereich der Stellfüße vermieden werden. Dadurch, dass die Verbindungsstäbe in einen Stellfuß eingesetzt sind, können diese Verbindungsstäbe auch hinsichtlich Ihrer Ausformung flexibler gestaltet werden und so beispielsweise als eine Art Führungsschiene für Zinken eines Transportgeräts, das unter eine Palette eingefahren wird, dienen. Durch ein so verbessertes Untergreifen des Transportbodens einer Metallpalette mit Zinken eines Transportgeräts kann erreicht werden, dass eine Metallpalette in optimaler Position auf einem Transportgerät aufliegt. Somit kann eine besonders stabile und standfeste Metallpalette zur Verfügung gestellt werden, die im Vergleich zu Paletten mit Stellfüßen, welche sich beinahe über die gesamte Palettenlänge erstreckenden, einen geringeren Materialbedarf, sowie ein geringeres Gewicht ergeben.If the connecting rods are connected to the bottom of the leveling feet, the stability of a metal pallet, in particular also with regard to its leveling feet, can be further improved in a simple manner - due to the material anyway. Loads on leveling feet can namely according to the invention facilitated ablated or distributed, whereby the risk of deformations of feet, such as at a settling / impact of a metal pallet on the floor - especially in the loaded state - can be reduced. Thus, using the metal pallet according to the invention, the risk of changes in the shape of adjustable feet can thus be reduced, which in turn would impair an intermeshing stackability. Furthermore, connecting rods used in leveling feet can also be easily and yet stably connected to a metal base - whereby the joints positioned on the inner side of the adjustable foot are protected against direct loading, for example due to collisions with the tines of a transporting device. A particularly stable metal pallet can be created in this way. It is also possible to avoid disadvantageous changes in the profile course of a metal pallet, for example by means of weld seams in the area of the adjustable feet, by means of connecting rods inserted into the leveling feet. The fact that the connecting rods are inserted into a leveling foot, these connecting rods can also in terms of their shape be made more flexible and so serve, for example, as a kind of guide rail for tines of a transport device, which is retracted under a pallet. By so under an improved gripping the transport tray of a metal pallet with tines of a transport device can be achieved that a metal pallet rests in an optimal position on a transport device. Thus, a particularly stable and stable metal pallet can be made available which, compared to pallets with adjustable feet, which extend almost over the entire pallet length, lower material requirements, as well as a lower weight.

Weist die Deckplatte an Verlauf und Abmessungen der Verbindungsstäbe angepasste Ausnehmungen auf, kann eine sichere und platzsparende, ineinandergreifende Stapelung von Metallpaletten ermöglicht werden. Die Deckplatte einer Metallpalette weist demnach nicht nur Ausnehmungen für die Stellfüße auf, welche Stellfüße zumindest nach oben offen sind, vielmehr sind auch die Verbindungsstäbe - und zwar Ihrer Ausformung entsprechend - berücksichtigt. So können die Ausnehmungen in einer Deckplatte gering gehalten werden, was unter anderem Vorteile hinsichtlich der Beladung einer Palette bieten kann. Erfindungsgemäß sind die Ausnehmungen jedoch derart vorgesehen, dass ein ineinandergreifendes Stapeln selbst bei eventuellen geringfügigen Abweichungen eines Verbindungsstabs von einem geradlinigen Verlauf - etwa aufgrund kollisionsbedingter Verbiegung - gewährleistet werden kann. Somit kann eine besonders stabil ausgeführte Metallpalette, insbesondere auch hinsichtlich ihrer Stellfüße, zur Verfügung gestellt werden, wobei im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik die für eine ineinandergreifende Stapelung erforderlichen Ausnehmungen in einer Deckplatte wesentlich kleiner vorgesehen werden können, womit die genannten Vorteile, aber auch eine Ausbildung eines besonders sichern und standfesten Stapels dieser Metallpaletten erreicht werden können.If the cover plate has recesses adapted to the course and dimensions of the connecting rods, a secure and space-saving, interlocking stacking of metal pallets can be made possible. The cover plate of a metal pallet therefore not only has recesses for the adjustable feet, which adjustable feet are open at least up, but also the connecting rods - and that according to their shape - taken into account. Thus, the recesses can be kept low in a cover plate, which can provide, inter alia, advantages in terms of loading a pallet. However, according to the invention, the recesses are provided in such a way that interlocking stacking can be ensured even in the case of any slight deviations of a connecting rod from a rectilinear course, for example due to collision-induced bending. Thus, a particularly stable executed metal pallet, in particular also with regard to their feet, are provided, which in contrast to the prior art, the necessary for an interlocking recesses in a cover plate can be provided substantially smaller, so the advantages mentioned, but also a Training a particularly secure and stable stack of metal pallets can be achieved.

Verlaufen die Verbindungstäbe in Längsrichtung der Metallpalette, kann sich eine besonders standfeste Metallpalette ergeben, vor allem natürlich hinsichtlich ihrer Längsstabilität. Somit kann den statischen Anforderungen an eine Metallpalette - insbesondere natürlich einer beladenen - die üblicherweise in Längsrichtung, etwa von den Gabelzinken eines Transportgeräts, untergriffen wird, um eine möglichst große Auflagefläche einer Metallpalette zu gewährleisten entsprochen werden.If the connecting rods extend in the longitudinal direction of the metal pallet, a particularly stable metal pallet can result, above all, of course, with regard to their longitudinal stability. Thus, the static requirements for a metal pallet - in particular, of course, a loaded - which is usually underlaid in the longitudinal direction, such as the forks of a transport device, to ensure the largest possible contact surface of a metal pallet are met.

Sind zueinander fluchtend angeordnete Stellfüße über Verbindungsstäbe durchgehend miteinander verbunden, kann eine besonders einfache Montage erfolgen. Zudem kann auf diese Weise eine vergleichsweise hohe Längsstabilität einer Metallpalette sichergestellt werden.If alignment feet arranged in alignment with one another are connected continuously to one another via connecting rods, a particularly simple assembly can take place. In addition, a comparatively high longitudinal stability of a metal pallet can be ensured in this way.

Entsprechen die Längsseiten der Verbindungstäbe den Richtung Boden konisch zulaufenden Stellfüßen und liegen sie an diesen an, können Verbindungsstäbe besonders vorteilhaft Stabilität sowie Standfestigkeit einer Metallpalette verbessern. Verbindungstäbe können nämlich nicht nur für eine Abstützung und Verstärkung des, den Boden ausbildenden Teils der Stellfüßen genutzt werden, sondern - da diese die Stellfüße zumindest bereichsweise ausfüllen - auch gezielten für deren Seitenteile, um so die Gefahr von Beschädigungen zu verringern. Dies gilt nicht zuletzt auch für, die an den Stirnseiten einer Metallpalette angeordneten Seiten eines Stellfußes, die erfahrungsgemäß hinsichtlich Beschädigungen besonders gefährdet sind. Vorstellbar und im Sinne der Erfindung ist zudem, dass Verbindungsstäbe derart ausgeformt sind, dass diese zumindest bereichsweise eine Seitenwand oder Seitenwände eines Stellfußes, insbesondere dessen Stirnseite, ausbilden, welche in weiterer Folge mit anderen Teilen der Metallpalette und/oder des Stellfußes verbunden sind.If the longitudinal sides of the connecting rods correspond to the direction of the bottom of conically tapering feet and if they rest against these, connecting rods can particularly advantageously improve the stability and stability of a metal pallet. In fact, connecting rods can not only be used for supporting and reinforcing the part of the leveling feet which form the base, but also - since they fill the leveling feet at least partially - also for their side parts, in order to reduce the risk of damage. This also applies not least for, which are arranged on the front sides of a metal pallet sides of a leveling foot, which are experience particularly vulnerable to damage. It is conceivable and within the meaning of the invention is also that connecting rods are formed such that they at least partially form a side wall or side walls of a leveling foot, in particular its front side, which are subsequently connected to other parts of the metal pallet and / or the adjustable foot.

Bilden die Verbindungstäbe zumindest bereichsweise vom Boden der Stellfüße abgesetzte Kufen aus, können diese beispielsweise genutzt werden, um eine verbesserte Verbindung bzw. einen verbesserten Halt von Hebevorrichtungen, insbesondere Hebebändern, an einer Metallpalette herzustellen. Ebenso kann eine zumindest bereichsweise vom Boden abgesetzte Kufe die Möglichkeit bieten bzw. dazu genutzt werden, um Befestigungsmittel, etwa Zurrgurte erleichtert an der Metallpalette zu befestigen, um Ladegut auf der Palette zu sichern. Derartige Kufen können unter anderem Vorteile hinsichtlich eines möglichen Abstellplatzes für eine Metallpalette und auch hinsichtlich deren Bewegbarkeit bieten. Aufgrund von Kufen kann eine erfindungsgemäße Palette auch an jenen Stellen positioniert bzw. abgestellt werden, die für Paletten, die lediglich Stellfüße aufweisen, nicht geeignet wären - dies unter anderem dadurch, weil die Gewichtsbelastung durch die Palette auf den Abstellplatz mithilfe von Kufen vorteilhaft verteilt werden kann oder weil Vertiefungen etc. des Abstellplatzes überbrückt werden können. Auch die Gefahr eines Verrutschens einer abgestellten Metallpalette kann mit Kufen verringert werden, etwa weil die Kontaktfläche mit dem Abstellplatz vergrößert ist. Vorstellbar ist, Kufen auch dahingehend zu nutzen, um eine Metallpalette scheibend zu bewegen. Dazu könnten die Kufen einer Metallpalette derart ausgebildet werden, dass diese im Bereich ihrer Enden eine Aufwärtskrümmung aufweisen.Form the connecting rods at least partially offset from the bottom of the feet adjustable skids, these can be used, for example, to produce an improved connection or an improved grip of lifting devices, in particular slings on a metal pallet. Likewise, an at least partially offset from the ground runner offer the opportunity or can be used to fasteners, such as lashing straps easier to attach to the metal pallet to secure cargo on the pallet. Such runners can Among other things, offer advantages in terms of a possible storage space for a metal pallet and also in terms of their mobility. Due to runners, a pallet according to the invention can also be positioned or placed in those places that would not be suitable for pallets having only leveling feet - this, inter alia, because the weight load through the pallet on the parking space using skids are advantageously distributed can or because wells etc. of the parking space can be bridged. The risk of slipping a parked metal pallet can be reduced with skids, for example because the contact area is increased with the parking space. It is also conceivable to use skids to move a metal pallet discreetly. For this purpose, the skids of a metal pallet could be formed such that they have an upward curvature in the region of their ends.

Sind zumindest teilweise an die Deckplatte anschließend und zwischen Stellfüßen quer zu den Verbindungstäben verlaufende Metallprofile vorgesehen, können Stabilität, insbesondere natürlich Querstabilität, und in weiterer Folge Nutzungsdauer einer Metallpalette erheblich verbessert bzw. verlängert werden. Erfindungsgemäß kann dadurch unter anderem ermöglicht werden, dass bei Untergreifen der Metallplatte - insbesondere durch Gabelzinken eines Transportgeräts - sowie während des Transports und Abstellens einer Metallpalette, dessen eventuelle Überbelastung, Beschädigungen und dergleichen verringert wird. Dabei kann sich ein Metallprofil insbesondere dann auszeichnen, wenn dieses auch mit den Stellfüßen einer Metallpalette verbunden ist, da auf diese Weise nicht nur eine verbesserte Stabilität der Deckplatte, sondern zugleich auch der Stellfüße erreicht werden kann. Als vorteilhaft konnte sich in diesem Zusammenhang herausstellen, wenn Metallprofile und/oder die Stellfüße an oder nahezu an den Ecken beziehungsweise Kanten einer Deckplatte vorgesehen sind. Dadurch kann nämlich erreicht werden, dass Belastungen im Bereich der Kanten einer Deckplatte - etwa im Zuge eines Hebens einer Palette durch Zinken eines Transportgeräts - verringert und/oder verbessert abgetragen werden können. Es ist aber durchaus vorstellbar und liegt somit im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass Metallprofile mit den Kanten einer Deckplatte bündig abschlie-βend vorgesehen sind und/oder mit den Kanten einer Deckplatte zumindest teilweise umgreifend verbunden sind, sodass diese auch als Rammschutz dienen können. Somit kann erfindungsgemäß eine Metallpalette zur Verfügung gestellt werden, die hohe Stabilität aufweist, sowie eine sichere Verwendung und einfache Handhabung ermöglicht.Are at least partially provided on the cover plate and then between adjustable feet extending transversely to the connecting rods metal profiles, stability, in particular, of course, transverse stability, and subsequently useful life of a metal pallet can be significantly improved or extended. In accordance with the invention, this makes it possible, inter alia, to lower the metal plate, in particular by means of fork tines of a transport device, during transport and parking of a metal pallet, its possible overloading, damage and the like. In this case, a metal profile can be particularly distinguished when this is also connected to the feet of a metal pallet, since not only improved stability of the cover plate, but also the feet can be achieved in this way. In this context, it could turn out to be advantageous if metal profiles and / or the leveling feet are provided at or almost at the corners or edges of a cover plate. As a result, it can be achieved that loads in the region of the edges of a cover plate-for example in the course of lifting a pallet by means of tines of a transport device-can be reduced and / or improvedly removed. However, it is quite conceivable and is thus within the scope of the invention that metal profiles flush with the edges of a cover plate-βend are provided and / or connected to the edges of a cover plate at least partially encompassing, so that they can also serve as a crash protection. Thus, according to the invention, a metal pallet can be made available which has high stability, and enables safe use and easy handling.

Weist das Metallprofil auf seiner Unterseite eine Griffmulde auf, kann die Handhabung einer Metallpalette weiter verbessert werden, ohne dass Nachteile hinsichtlich einer Schwächung eines Metallprofils zu befürchten wäre. Eine Griffmulde kann hinsichtlich ihrer Form und/oder ihrer Materialbeschaffenheit derart ausgebildet sein, dass diese einen sicheren Halt und dementsprechend eine vorteilhafte Handhabung einer Metallpalette ermöglicht.If the metal profile has a recessed grip on its underside, the handling of a metal pallet can be further improved without fear of disadvantages with regard to weakening a metal profile. A grip can be designed in terms of their shape and / or their material properties such that it allows a secure hold and, accordingly, an advantageous handling of a metal pallet.

Es wird erwähnt, dass eine Deckplatte einer erfindungsgemäßen Metallpalette selbstverständlich auch quadratische Form aufweisen kann, welches Ausführungsbeispiel nicht näher dargestellt wurde.It is mentioned that a cover plate of a metal pallet according to the invention may of course also have a square shape, which embodiment has not been shown in detail.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen eine Metallpalette 1 mit einer Stellfüße 2 aufweisenden Deckplatte 3. Die Stellfüße 2 sind nach oben offen und bilden zusammen mit der Deckplatte 3 Ausnehmungen 4 für die zumindest teilweise Aufnahme von Stellfüßen 2 einer anderen formgleichen Metallpalette 1 aus. Zudem zeigt die Metallpalette 1 Verbindungstäbe 5, die die Stellfüße 2 zumindest teilweise miteinander verbinden. Die in die Stellfüße 2 eingesetzten Verbindungstäbe 5 sind mit dem Boden der Stellfüße 2 verbunden, was je nach Bedarf und Konstruktion durch Schweißen, Nieten und/oder Kleben erfolgen kann. Die Verbindungsstäbe 5 erfüllen unter anderem den Zweck, die Stellfüße 2 gegeneinander abstützen bzw. vor Beschädigung - insbesondere Deformationen - zu schützen. Zudem weist die Deckplatte 3 an Verlauf und Abmessungen der Verbindungsstäbe 5 angepasste Ausnehmungen 4' auf, wodurch eine ineinandergreifende Stapelung von übereinander angeordneten Metallpaletten 1 gewährleistet und der dabei entstehende Stapel wie beschrieben auch besonders standfest ausgebildet werden kann.The FIGS. 1 and 2 show a metal pallet 1 with a leveling feet 2 having cover plate 3. The feet 2 are open at the top and form together with the Cover plate 3 recesses 4 for the at least partially receiving feet 2 of another identical metal pallet 1 from. In addition, the metal pallet 1 connecting rods 5, which at least partially connect the feet 2 together. The connecting rods 5 used in the feet 2 are connected to the bottom of the feet 2, which can be done by welding, riveting and / or gluing as needed and construction. Among other things, the connecting rods 5 fulfill the purpose of supporting the adjustable feet 2 against each other or of protecting them against damage, in particular deformations. In addition, the cover plate 3 on the course and dimensions of the connecting rods 5 adapted recesses 4 ', whereby an interlocking stacking of superimposed metal pallets 1 ensures and the resulting stack as described can also be made very stable.

Vorteilhaft verlaufen die Verbindungstäbe 5 in Längsrichtung der Metallpalette 1, um eine hohe Längsstabilität zu erreichen. Dies entspricht den üblichen Erfordernissen, da die nicht näher dargestellten Gabelzinken eines Transportgeräts meist in Längsrichtung der Metallpalette 1 eingefahren werden, um eine möglichst große Auflagefläche der Palette 1 auf den Zinken zu gewährleisten. Zueinander fluchtend angeordnete Stellfüße 2 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel über Verbindungsstäbe 5 durchgehend miteinander verbunden, wodurch eine besonders hohe Standfestigkeit, aber auch ein einfacher Zusammenbau der Palette 1 ermöglicht werden kann.Advantageously, the connecting rods 5 extend in the longitudinal direction of the metal pallet 1 in order to achieve a high longitudinal stability. This corresponds to the usual requirements, since the forks of a transport device, not shown, are usually retracted in the longitudinal direction of the metal pallet 1 in order to ensure the largest possible contact surface of the pallet 1 on the tines. Aligned to each other leveling feet 2 are continuously connected in the embodiment via connecting rods 5, whereby a particularly high stability, but also a simple assembly of the pallet 1 can be made possible.

Die Figur 3 zeigt, dass zumindest teilweise an die Deckplatte anschließend und zwischen Stellfüßen 2 quer zu den Verbindungstäben 5 verlaufende Metallprofile 7 vorgesehen sind, mit deren Hilfe die Stabilität der Metallpalette 1 weiter verbessert werden kann. Die Metallprofile 7 sorgen unter anderem für eine Versteifung der erfindungsgemäßen Palette 1 in Querrichtung und bilden zusätzlich auch einen mechanischen Schutz für den Bereich der Kante einer Deckplatte 3 aus. Insbesondere die Gefahr eines eventuellen Aufwölbens der Kante bei nicht korrektem Untergreifen bzw. Heben einer beladenen Metallpalette kann dadurch verringert werden. Der Figur 3 ist auch zu entnehmen, dass die, an den Stirnseiten der Metallpalette vorgesehen Stellfüße 2 in Richtung Außenseite der Metallpalette 1 zu deren Schutz geschlossen sind.The FIG. 3 shows that then at least partially to the cover plate and between feet 2 transverse to the connecting rods 5 extending metal profiles 7 are provided with the help of the stability of the metal pallet 1 can be further improved. The metal profiles 7 provide inter alia for a stiffening of the pallet 1 according to the invention in the transverse direction and additionally form a mechanical protection for the region of the edge of a cover plate 3. In particular, the risk of a possible buckling of the edge in case of incorrect picking or lifting a loaded metal pallet can be reduced. Of the FIG. 3 it can also be seen that the, provided on the front sides of the metal pallet Leveling feet 2 towards the outside of the metal pallet 1 are closed to protect them.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Seitenansicht der Metallpalette 1, wobei die Verbindungsstäbe 5 mit vergleichsweise geringer Profilhöhe ausgeführt sind. Figur 5 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf eine Palette und zeigt, dass eine Ausführungsform, deren Verbindungsstäbe 5 nicht an den Seitenwänden der Stellfüße 2 anliegen. FIG. 4 shows a side view of the metal pallet 1, wherein the connecting rods 5 are designed with a comparatively low profile height. FIG. 5 shows a plan view of a pallet and shows that an embodiment whose connecting rods 5 do not abut the side walls of the feet 2.

In Figur 6 wird eine Teilansicht eines Querschnitts eines Stellfußes 2 mit einen in diesen Stellfuß 2 eingesetzten Verbindungsstab 5 dargestellt, wobei erfindungsgemäß die Längsseiten des Verbindungstabs 5 den Richtung Boden konisch zulaufenden Stellfüßen 2 entsprechen und an diesen anliegen. Somit können vorteilhaft auch die Seitenwände und/oder die Stirnwand der Stellfüße 2 verstärkt werden, da die Verbindungsstäbe 5 die Stellfüße 2 zumindest bereichsweise ausfüllen. Selbstverständlich können Profildicke, Material etc. des Verbindungsstabes 5 den Erfordernissen entsprechend variiert werden.In FIG. 6 is a partial view of a cross section of a adjustable foot 2 is shown with a connecting rod 5 inserted into this adjustable foot 2, according to the invention, the longitudinal sides of the connecting rod 5 correspond to the direction of the bottom tapered feet 2 and abut against these. Thus, advantageously, the side walls and / or the end wall of the adjustable feet 2 are reinforced, since the connecting rods 5 fill the leveling feet 2 at least partially. Of course, profile thickness, material, etc. of the connecting rod 5 can be varied according to the requirements.

Anhand der Figur 7 wird ein Teilbereich einer Metallpalette 8 in Seitenansicht gezeigt, dessen Verbindungstäbe 9 zumindest bereichsweise vom Boden der Stellfüße 2 abgesetzte Kufen ausbilden, wodurch etwa eine Unterstützung der Führung von Zinken eines Transportgeräts beim Untergreifen der Metallpalette 1 erreicht werden kann. Zudem wird eine Ausnehmungen 10 für das Anbringen von Verankerungen, etwa für einen Zurrgurt zur Sicherung der Beladung der Metallpalette1, gezeigt. Mithilfe von Kufen können oben beschriebene Vorteile hinsichtlich Standfestigkeit, mögliche Abstellorte einer, insbesondere beladenen, Palette etc. erreicht werden.Based on FIG. 7 a partial area of a metal pallet 8 is shown in side view, forming the connecting rods 9 at least partially offset from the bottom of the feet 2 runners, which can be achieved as support for the leadership of tines of a transport device under the metal pallet 1. In addition, a recesses 10 for the attachment of anchors, such as a lashing strap to secure the loading of the metal pallet1 shown. With the aid of runners, the above-described advantages in terms of stability, possible storage locations of a, in particular loaded, pallet etc. can be achieved.

Für eine einfache Handhabung der Metallpalette weist das Metallprofil auf seiner Unterseite eine Griffmulde 11, dargestellt in Fig. 2, auf. Um diese weiter zu verbessern ist vorstellbar, Griffmulde, Stellfüße, Transportboden und/oder Verbindungsstäbe mit rutschhemmender Beschichtung zu versehen.For easy handling of the metal pallet, the metal profile has on its underside a recessed grip 11, shown in FIG Fig. 2 , on. To further improve this, it is conceivable to provide recessed grips, leveling feet, transport base and / or connecting rods with an anti-slip coating.
