Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a tire loading pallet that can be loaded into and unloaded from a loading platform (box type loading platform) of a truck by an elderly person or a woman alone. In particular, by using the tire loading pallet in a special storage warehouse, even workers in the storage warehouse that have been manually operated can be made completely unmanned, and safe and secure tire loading work can be provided. Regarding pallets.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a transport system for vehicle tires in which even an elderly person or a woman can load and unload a loading platform (box type loading platform) of a truck or the like using a unique tire loading pallet. doing. In particular, by using the above-mentioned tire loading pallet in a special storage warehouse, it is possible to completely eliminate the need for workers in the storage warehouse, who used to rely on manual labor, and to provide safe and secure tire loading work. It also relates to transport systems.

Conventionally, there was no transport industry dedicated to transporting tires on truck beds (box-shaped beds). This need arose because of the existence of tire changes. In other words, there are summer tires (also used in spring and autumn) and winter tires for snow accumulation, and it is necessary to change these tires.

In terms of housing conditions, if you are in the countryside, there is a space where you can store both summer and winter tires at home, but in cities, etc., when you change tires, you have a storage service that allows you to store them in a different place. is also increasing year by year. In this case, a set of four tires (two or six in some cases) is provided. Hereinafter, it is also referred to as a set of multiple tires.

At the time of changing the tires, a plurality of tires are appropriately placed on an appropriate pallet by an automobile dealer (car dealer for new and used cars) or a car accessory store (car shop). It has been transported to a suitable tire storage warehouse.

A pallet for transporting a plurality of tires is disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-30648). In Document 1, a large number of tires can be stacked flatly, but this is the case of finished tires, which is different from the case where tires can simply be loaded and unloaded from a truck or the like.

Also, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-293371). It is a pallet that loads a large number of tires vertically, and even if tires can be loaded and unloaded on a truck or the like under this condition, the tires can be loaded and unloaded in a warehouse dedicated to tires without the need for manual labor. It is unknown if it can be unloaded.

In addition, even if it is a leading domestic tire manufacturer, it is not a new tire manufacturing factory, but a storage warehouse where a large number of ordinary tires can be stored. Tires, especially sets of multiple tires, cannot be stored without manpower.

INNOLIFT (known online as INNOLIFT) is often used for multiple transports of this tire. The transportation of multiple tires has the advantage that even an elderly person or a woman can load and unload the flat-loaded tires onto and from the vehicle bed. At present, they are often piled up manually on their own pallets or the like. There are many types of original pallets that can be used with a forklift.

Even if tires are simply loaded and unloaded manually in a storage warehouse, each tire weighs about 20 to 30 kilograms. Even for young men, it is nearly impossible to continue working continuously for one or two hours. Furthermore, the workers in the storage warehouses are generally middle-aged, over 60-year-old men who are nearing retirement age. The majority of these people are currently suffering from back pain or poor physical condition.

By the way, in Europe, in a tire storage warehouse, there is a device or a mechanism for lifting a set of multiple tires by using an elevator that lifts and lowers a bar-shaped fork as a conventional technology. However, with the known fork pallet, it was not possible to use an elevator of the type that raises and lowers the bar-shaped forks.

When pallets with multiple sets of tires are stacked (loaded) on a box-type truck bed and transported, the pallets are often stacked in two layers in consideration of transportation efficiency. In this case, for example, a set of four tires is stacked on one tier on a pallet. Sometimes they are piled up. Such storage using a set of multiple tires stacked in two tiers is sometimes carried out in order to effectively use the space in the height direction in a storage warehouse.

In such a two-tiered multiple tire set, when placing a pallet on which the upper second-tier multiple tire set is placed on the lower first-tier multiple tire set, It is necessary that the center of the tire diameter of the first set of multiple tires and the center of the tire diameter of the second set of multiple tires should substantially match. If the center of the tire diameter of the first set of multiple tires does not substantially match the center of the tire diameter of the second set of multiple tires, the multiple tire set may collapse or fall over. Enough. Furthermore, when such a set of multiple tires stacked in two layers is loaded on a box-shaped bed of a truck and transported, it is quite possible that the set will collapse due to vibration during travel.

However, when the pallet of the second tier set of multiple tires is placed on the first tier of multiple tire set, the center of the pallet and the diameter center of the first tier of multiple tire set approximately match. It was extremely difficult to set Conventionally, this work has had to rely on the intuition of workers on site.

However, the problem (technical problem, object, etc.) to be solved by the present invention is to use a peculiar tire loading pallet to load (stack) and unload a truck loading platform (box type loading platform). However, even an elderly person or a woman can use it alone, and by using it in a special storage warehouse for loading tires, even the workers in the storage warehouse who have been relying on manual labor can be completely eliminated, making it safe and secure. It is to provide a tire-loading pallet which is a peculiar tire-loading pallet.

Furthermore, by using a special storage warehouse for loading tires through the tire loading pallet, it is possible to provide a transportation system for vehicle tires for tire loading work. Furthermore, in order to form a two-tiered set of multiple tires via a pallet, a set of multiple tires in the first tier mounted on the pallet and a set of multiple tires in the second tier similarly mounted on the pallet To provide a tire loading pallet capable of easily and quickly matching the diameter centers of a set of a plurality of tires.

Therefore, as a result of earnest research in order to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present invention have developed a square pallet main plate in which bar-shaped end legs are fixed to both sides of the lower surface of the square pallet main plate. Also on the upper surface, an upper surface end pedestal piece and an upper surface intermediate pedestal piece facing in the same direction as the end rod-like leg portion and having the same shape and near both sides are fixed respectively, and when stacked upward, both the upper surface end portions The pedestal piece and the upper intermediate pedestal piece are arranged so as not to overlap with both the end rod-shaped legs, respectively, and a pallet body for loading a plurality of flat tires such as passenger cars, vans, trucks, etc. and a lid body having a square-shaped lid main plate to be placed on the flat-stacked tires, so that both the end rod-shaped legs of the pallet body can be placed on the lid main plate of the lid body. In addition, a position confirmation hole is provided at the center of the lid main plate of the lid body so that the diameter center position of the tire can be visually observed, and the center of the position confirmation hole can be predicted around the position confirmation hole. The above problems have been solved by providing a tire loading pallet characterized by having an index formed thereon.

According to the invention of claim 2, in the tire loading pallet of claim 1, a central rod-shaped leg is fixed to the lower side of the pallet main plate also between the end rod-shaped legs of the pallet main body. The problem is solved by providing a tire loading pallet characterized in that the upper surface intermediate pedestal piece is arranged so as not to overlap the central rod-like leg portion when stacked upward.

According to the invention of claim 3, in the tire loading pallet according to claim 2, one or two upper surface intermediate pedestal pieces in the pallet body are fixed to the upper side of the pallet main plate, and are also stacked upward. The above problem is solved by providing a tire loading pallet characterized in that one or two upper surface intermediate pedestal pieces are arranged so as not to overlap with the central rod-like leg.

The invention of claim 4 is the tire loading pallet of claim 1 or 2, wherein the lid main plate of the lid body is slightly larger than the pallet main plate of the pallet body. The above problem was solved by using a pallet for loading tires.

According to the invention of claim 5, in the tire loading pallet of claim 1 or 2, the lid main plate is provided with a mounting portion on which both the end rod-shaped legs of the pallet body can be mounted. The above problems are solved by providing a tire loading pallet characterized in that the mounting portions have mounting surfaces that are positioned low on both sides in the width direction of the lid main plate via a stepped surface. is.

In the invention of claim 1, in particular, not only loading and unloading on trucks, but also in storage warehouses dedicated to many tires, even elderly people and women can safely and securely do so without human intervention. There is an advantage that it is possible to provide a tire loading pallet that allows the work of Further, the tire loading pallet according to the present invention includes a pallet body and a lid body, the pallet body having a square pallet main plate, and the lid body having a square lid main plate. .

In other words, both the pallet body and the lid body are square, and when they are stacked, it is easy to visually match the center positions in the plane direction. Therefore, when constructing a set of multiple tires stacked in two tiers via a pallet, first, a set of multiple tires in the first tier (a stack of multiple tires) is placed on the lower pallet, The center of the cover body in the plane direction is aligned with the center of the diameter of the uppermost tire of the set of multiple tires of the first stage, and placed.

Since the lid body itself is square, as described above, the center in the plane direction can be easily aligned with the center of the diameter of the tire by visual inspection, and it can be placed on the highest tire of the set of multiple tires in the first stage. It is very easy to place the pallet body on which the set of tires in the second stage is placed so that the center in the plane direction of the pallet body on which the set of tires is placed is substantially aligned with the center in the plane direction of the lid body. As a result, when configuring a two-tiered multiple tire set, the second tire multiple set located above the center of the diameter of the first tier multiple tire set located below. The center of the diameter of the pallet body and the lid body can be easily and approximately matched, and a very stable set of a plurality of tires stacked in two layers can be constructed.

When a set of two tires is transported by a truck, it can be loaded by effectively utilizing the space in the vertical direction of the box-type loading platform of the truck. can improve. In addition, even in the case of supplementing a set of multiple tires in a storage warehouse at a desired position, the space in the height direction of the storage warehouse can be effectively used, and even in a place with a relatively small area, a large number of tires can be stored. can be stored.

In particular, a position confirmation hole is provided in the central portion of the lid main plate of the lid body in the invention of claim 1 so that the diameter center position of the tire can be visually observed, and the center of the position confirmation hole is provided around the position confirmation hole. When constructing a two-tiered set of multiple tires, the uppermost position of the set of multiple tires on the lower side (first tier) of the center of the lid body in the plane direction When aligned with the center of the diameter of the tire, the position of the center of the diameter of the tire can be visually confirmed by the position confirmation hole and its index, and the center of the lid body in the plane direction and the lower (first stage) tire Alignment with the diameter center of the uppermost tire in a set of multiple tires can be facilitated.

Furthermore, in claim 1, the central rod-shaped leg portion on the lower side of the pallet main plate is removed, and only the end rod-shaped leg portions on both sides are fixed, which further simplifies the pallet main plate. The robustness of the system is guaranteed, and sufficient functions can be demonstrated. Claims 2 and 3 have the same effect as claim 1. In particular, in the invention of claim 3, when one upper surface intermediate pedestal piece is provided on the upper side of the pallet main plate, not only can it be provided at a low cost, but also the same effect as two pieces can be obtained.

In the invention of claim 4, the lid main plate of the lid body is formed slightly larger than the pallet main plate of the pallet body, so that when the pallet body is placed on the lid body, the center of the two is A two-tiered multiple tire set in which the positions of a plurality of tires can be more easily matched and the diameter centers of the tires in the first-tier multiple tire set and the second-tier multiple tire set are substantially matched. can be easily configured.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, the surface portion of the lid body has mounting surfaces that are positioned low on both sides in the width direction of the lid main plate via a stepped surface. By placing the end rod-shaped legs provided on both sides in the width direction of the lower surface of the lid body on the mounting surfaces of the mounting portions located on both sides in the width direction of the lid body, the mounting surface and the step surface of the lid body Thus, the rod-shaped legs at the end of the pallet body are securely supported and fixed, and the pallet body can be stably placed on the lid body. As a result, in a two-tiered multiple tire set, the position of the upper (second tier) tire multiple set is less likely to shift relative to the lower (first tier) tire multiple set and can be made stable. .

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The present invention relates to a transport system for tire loading pallets and vehicle tires, and is particularly suitable for constructing a two-tiered multiple tire set M, as shown in FIG. 2(B). First, the tire loading pallet P will be described. The tire loading pallet P is composed of a pallet body P1 and a lid body P2 (see FIGS. 1 to 5, etc.). A set of multiple tires M is placed on the lower (first stage) pallet body P1, and a lid body P2 is placed on the topmost tire of the set of multiple tires M [Fig. ), see FIGS. 3B and 3C], and a pallet body P1 on which a plurality of tire sets M are placed on the upper side (second stage) is arranged on the lid body P2 [FIG. 2B ), see FIG.

First, the structure of the pallet main body P1 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the pallet main plate 1 has a substantially square shape. On the lower surface of the pallet main plate 1, end rod-like legs 21, 21 on both sides and a central rod-like leg 22 are fixed in a river-like manner. , and upper surface end pedestal pieces 31, 31 and upper surface intermediate pedestal pieces 32, 32 of the same shape are fixed to both sides, respectively.

Although the pallet main plate 1 has a square shape, the concept of a square shape includes a true square shape and a substantially square shape having four sides slightly different from each other by a few centimeters. Further, the end rod-shaped legs 21, 21 and the central rod-shaped leg 22 are formed on the rear surface (lower surface) of the pallet main plate 1 to have a length equivalent to the length of the pallet main plate 1 [Fig. ), (B), FIG. 4 (A), (B), etc.]. Furthermore, regarding the dimensional relationship of the present invention, the relationship with the tire diameter will be described later. Further, the tire loading pallet P of the present invention is often referred to simply as "pallet" or "pallet P".

In particular, when a plurality of pallet bodies P1 in the tire loading pallet P of the present invention are stacked upward at the same position, the upper surface end pedestal pieces 31, 31 are attached to the end rod-like legs 21, 21, In addition, the upper intermediate pedestal pieces 32, 32 are arranged so as not to overlap (contact or interfere with) the central rod-like leg portion 22 respectively. Specifically, an interval α is formed between the inner surface of the end rod-shaped leg portion 21 and the outer surface of the upper surface end pedestal piece 31 . For example, it is about several mm (millimeters) to about 10 cm (centimeters). Further, the interval between the upper surface intermediate pedestal pieces 32, 32 is about 15 cm, and the central rod-like leg portion 22 only needs to be present in the intermediate position. Not restricted.

Further, the upper surface end pedestal piece 31 is arranged so as not to overlap (contact or interfere with) the end rod-like leg portion 21 and the upper intermediate pedestal pieces 32, 32 to the central rod-like leg portion 22, respectively. More specifically, when the upper and lower pallet bodies P1, P1 are superimposed, the upper surface end base piece 31 is positioned between the end rod-shaped leg portion 21 and the central rod-shaped leg portion 22 of the upper pallet body P1. It is formed so as to be located in the gap 23 between the and (see FIG. 6).

In particular, the reason why the upper surface end pedestal pieces 31, 31 are widened so as not to overlap each other is to stabilize loading of the tires. Further, when the upper and lower pallet bodies P1, P1 are stacked, the central rod-shaped leg portion 22 is configured to exist in the space 32a between the upper intermediate pedestal pieces 32, 32 [Fig. 6(B)].

FIG. 6(D) shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the number of upper surface intermediate pedestal pieces 32 is one. Specifically, the condition in this case is that a space β is formed between any inner side surface of the central rod-like leg portion 22 and any inner side surface of the opposing upper intermediate pedestal piece 32 [ See FIG. 6(B)] (see figure). For example, it is several millimeters to about ten and several centimeters. This number is not necessarily limited.

In particular, when the pallet main plate 1 is made of a strong plate material, the pallet main body P1 of the present invention does not have the central rod-like leg portion 22, and has only the end rod-like legs 21, 21 on both sides. (not shown). That is, the pallet main body P1 is not provided with the central rod-like leg portion 22. As shown in FIG. In this case, the distance α between the top surface end pedestal piece 31 on the upper side of the pallet main plate 1 and the end rod-like leg portion 21 and the number (one or two) of the top surface intermediate pedestal piece 32 are as shown in FIG. 1, and the conditions when the upper and lower pallet bodies P1, P1 are overlapped are also the same.

Furthermore, by adopting the configuration of another embodiment of the present invention [see FIG. 1(B)], not only can the unit price of the present invention be reduced, but also a plurality of tire sets M can be reliably placed thereon. , functionally sufficient effect is exhibited. In the following description, the pallet main body P1 having the configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention, in which the upper surface intermediate pedestal pieces 32 are two and the central rod-like leg portion 22 is also provided, will be described.

A multiple tire set M is a stack of two to six tires. Typically, four tires are stacked as a set for passenger car or van type use only. Also, in the case of a truck, a set of six tires may be used. Furthermore, due to truck transportation efficiency, two tires may be stacked to form a set. In this case, it may correspond to a two-wheeled vehicle such as a motorcycle.

Next, the lid main body P2 that constitutes the tire loading pallet will be described. As shown in FIG. 2(B), the lid main body P2 is a member used to form a two-tiered set of multiple tires. There are two embodiments of the lid body P2. First, in the first embodiment, the main cover plate 4 is mainly provided with the mounting portion 41, and the pallet main body P1 is mounted on the upper surface side of the main cover plate 4. As shown in FIG. The lid main plate 4 is provided with mounting portions 41 on which the rod-shaped legs 21 at both ends of the pallet body P1 can be mounted. The mounting portion 41 is formed flat and has a surface with which the rod-like leg portion 21 of the pallet main body P1 can come into surface contact along the longitudinal direction (see FIG. 1).

The mounting portion 41 has a mounting surface 41a and a stepped surface 41b, and the mounting surface 41a on which the end rod-shaped leg portion 21 of the pallet main body P1 can be placed is formed via the stepped surface 41a. Thus, the mounting surface 41a becomes a flat surface on both sides in the width direction on the upper surface side of the lid main plate 4 (see FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C). That is, the stepped surface 41a is positioned lower than the other portion of the upper surface side of the lid main plate 4 with the stepped surface 41b as a boundary. The rod-shaped legs 21, 21 at both ends of the pallet main body P1 are mounted on the mounting portion 4, and the bottom surfaces of the rod-shaped legs 21, 21 at both ends are mounted in contact with the mounting surface 41a of the lid body P2. place. The inner surface sides of the rod-shaped end portions 21, 21 are opposed to the step surface 41b in a close state or a contact state (see FIGS. 1(D) and 4(D)).

The lid main body P2 includes one provided with three placement portions 41 (see FIG. 1) and another provided with two placement portions 41 (see FIG. 4). In the case where the three mounting portions 41 are provided, the mounting portion 41 is provided at the central portion of the lid main plate 4 in the width direction (see FIG. 1(B)). This is applied to the pallet main body P1 in which the end rod-like legs 21 and the central rod-like leg 22 are present. The case where there are two mounting portions 41 is adapted to the pallet body P1 in which the central rod-like leg portion 22 is not present.

In the case where the lid main body P2 is provided with three mounting portions 41, the mounting surface 41a of the mounting portion 41 at the center of the width direction of the lid main plate 4 is surrounded by stepped portions 41a, 41a on both sides thereof in the width direction. That is, the mounting portion 41 forms a groove having a substantially concave cross section by the mounting surface 41a and the two stepped surfaces 41b (see FIGS. 1(B), (E) and (F)).

The gap between the two stepped surfaces 41b, 41b in the center placement portion 41 in the width direction of the lid main plate 4 is formed to be slightly larger than the widthwise dimension of the central rod-like leg portion 22 of the pallet body P1. The central rod-shaped leg portion 22 can be inserted with a slight margin between 41b and can be placed in contact with the placement surface 41a.

The step surface 41b is formed by adhering a flat thin plate 42 to the lid main plate 4. As shown in FIG. The thin plate 42 is included in the concept of the lid main plate 4, and is adhered to the rectangular base substrate 4a. The thickness of the thin plate 42 is about several millimeters, specifically about several millimeters or more and about 15 mm or less.

The thin plate 42 has a rectangular shape, and its length in the longitudinal direction is equal to or slightly smaller than the length of one side of the square lid main plate 4 . The thin plate 42 is adhered and fixed onto the square base substrate 4a that constitutes the lid main plate 4, and the portion on the base basic plate 4a where the thin plate 42 does not exist serves as a mounting surface 41a. The edge is used as the step surface 41b [see FIGS. 1(A), (B), and (E)].

Three mounting portions 41 are formed by adhering and fixing two thin plates 42 to the square base substrate 4a of the lid main plate 4 (see FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1E). At this time, the thin plate 42 is adhered to the base substrate 4a so that the two thin plates 42, 42 and the mounting surface 41a of the mounting portion 41 are formed on both sides in the width direction of the base substrate 4a. Further, the two thin plates 42 are spaced apart from each other in the width direction, and the space between the thin plates 42 forms the mounting surface 41 a of the mounting portion 41 at the center of the lid main plate 4 in the width direction.

Further, by attaching one sheet of thin plate 42 to the square base substrate 4 a of the lid main plate 4 , the mounting portions 41 are formed on both sides in the width direction of the lid main plate 4 . In addition, there is also an embodiment in which the mounting portion 41 of the lid main plate 4 can form the mounting surface 41a and the stepped surface 41b by cutting both sides or the center of the plate material in the width direction without providing the thin plate 42. (See FIG. 1(E)). Moreover, although not shown, there is also an embodiment in which the lid main body P2 is composed only of the square base substrate 4a without the mounting portion 41, the position confirmation hole 51, and the like.

Now, general business using the tire loading pallet P of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8(A) is a simplified diagram showing a work state of placing a set of multiple tires on the present invention, and a clerk or worker at a car dealer/car shop for new or used cars is carrying out the pallet body of the present invention. A set of multiple tires M purchased or replaced with winter or summer tires is placed on P1. In this case, the set of multiple tires M is generally manually placed on the pallet body P1 by a store clerk or a worker.

Then, the present invention with multiple tire sets M (multiple tire sets P) is loaded on a truck [see FIG. 8(B)] and moved to an appropriate storage warehouse [see FIG. 8(C)]. , At that location, only the multiple tire set M is stored in the storage warehouse, and after the multiple tire set M is placed by the car dealer or car shop clerk or worker, it is transferred to the truck. The loading and unloading of tire racks and the loading and unloading of tire racks N in the storage warehouse can all be done without human intervention.

In particular, two configurations, which are essential parts of the present invention, will be described through their operation. First, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the first operation is to use the lower side of the pallet body P1. That is, the pallet body P1 with the multiple tire set M is inserted into the lower surface side of the pallet main plate 1 of the present invention (pallet body P1) with the multiple tire set M by inserting the claw portions 81a, 81a of the first lifter 81 in this state. can be placed on the box-type cargo bed K of the truck [see FIGS. 12(C) and 13(A)], and the transport work can be carried out on the box-type cargo bed K of the truck to the far side [FIG. 12 (D ), see FIG.

In the case of stacking (loading) a pallet body P1 with a set of multiple tires M on a box-type loading platform K of a truck and transporting it, in consideration of transportation efficiency, FIGS. As shown in (B), there are many cases where a set of multiple tires M is stacked vertically in two layers. In FIGS. 12(C), (D) and FIGS. 13(A), (B), the pallet main body P1 with the set of multiple tires M is not shown with a band 7 in order to avoid complication of the drawings. Although omitted, they are actually transported in the state shown in FIG.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13(C), there is, of course, a case where a set of multiple tires M is transported in a single stack. In particular, in the present invention, even when a plurality of tire sets M are stacked in one tier [see FIG. 13(C)] or two tiers [see FIGS. The first lifter 81 is also placed on the box-type loading platform K of the truck to complete the truck loading operation, and the truck loading operation is completed, and the truck is moved to a storage warehouse at another location. . At this time, the first lifter 81 is also loaded and moved at the same time.

In FIG. 12, when a set of four tires is stacked in one layer in a multiple tire set M, about two flat tires are stacked on the single layer via the pallet body P1 and transported. Sometimes. In this case, the lid main body P2 is placed on the uppermost tire of a set of four tires stacked in one tier [see FIG. 12(A)].

Next, the pallet body P1 on which two tires are placed is placed on the lid body P2 (see FIG. 2(B)). That is, four sets of tires are provided on the lower side, and two sets of tires are provided on the upper side via the lid body P2 and the pallet body P1. 12(C) and 12(D)]. In the above description, the lower side is a set of 4 tires and the upper side is a set of 2 tires, but conversely, the lower side can be a set of 2 tires and the upper side can be a set of 4 tires. .

With such a configuration, in a truck having a relatively small box-shaped cargo bed K, the space of the box-shaped cargo bed K can be used effectively by storing tires even in the empty space in the height direction for a set of four tires. It is designed to In FIG. 12, a set of four tires is stored in the box type carrier K in one tier, but a set of four tires on the lower side and two sets of tires on the upper side are stacked in two tiers. The concept of a set of multiple tires M may be accommodated in a box type cargo bed K.

The structures shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C show the relationship between the tires of the multiple tire set M and the pallet body P1 of the present invention. Specifically, the length L of one side of the square pallet main plate 1, the diameter D of the tire,
D>L
and the four corners Q of the pallet are always exposed. In terms of size,
L > Q
becomes.

The diameter D of the tire is large with respect to the length L of one side of the square pallet main plate 1 . That is, if D>L, as shown in FIG. 11(C), when the pallet body P1 with the set of multiple tires M is placed on the box-type loading platform K of the truck, it vibrates during operation of the truck. However, it is always the outermost peripheral surface of the tire that hits the wall surface of the box-shaped loading platform K of the truck, and the rest does not hit, and the pallet body P1 can be prevented from being damaged, and the truck driver can avoid noise and safety. Driving can be provided.

In this way, the present invention (pallet body P1) with multiple tire sets M is moved to a desired storage warehouse by truck and unloaded on the ground at the storage warehouse location. Specifically, whether the multiple tire set M is stacked in one tier [FIG. 13(C)] or two tiers [FIGS. 13(A) and (B)], the first lifter Using 81, the pallet body P1 with multiple tire sets M is lowered to the ground of the storage warehouse. In this way, the whole thing is lowered to the ground at the storage warehouse location. This completes the role of the first lifter 81 .
