In principle, one engine was mounted on a pallet, and the fixing method was to bolt it to the base frame using the engine mounting hole in the engine base. Furthermore, even when multiple engines were mounted on one pallet, the method of securing them was such that each engine was tightened with bolts.

C. Problems that the invention aims to solve Since the above-mentioned conventional engine transport pallets are dedicated to specific models, not only do they require a new type of pallet each time the model is changed, but it also takes a lot of time to load and fix them. Not only is it inefficient as it requires
Logistics efficiency was low, leading to high engine logistics costs in general.

D. Means for Solving the Problems In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional engine transport pallet, the present invention is designed to be able to be used for multiple models, to allow multiple engines to be mounted, and to facilitate the loading process. This system aims to improve the efficiency of engine transport, and its configuration consists of an engine transport pallet in which the engine is placed on a support installed between base frames, and the support is equipped with stoppers and stoppers that are compatible with multiple models of engine bases. A plurality of positioning blocks are provided alternately for each compatible model, and a rotation shaft is attached in parallel with each support, and a base fixing bracket is fixed to the rotation shaft so that it can be raised and lowered onto the engine base. Furthermore, a polymerizable height adjustment plate is provided on each support.

E. Effect: Place the engine of a specific model on the support,
Once the four corners of the engine base are in contact with the stopper and the stopper is inserted into the mounting hole of the engine base to position it, press the fixing metal fittings against each engine base by turning the rotating shaft, and the engine will be supported. It is clamped and fixed by the fixing bracket.

In the case of a model with a thin engine base, the height adjustment plate can be superimposed on the support and the engine base can be placed on top of the height adjustment plate to fix the height adjustment plate without loosening.

Furthermore, when the engine is to be removed from the pallet, it can be easily removed by releasing the pressure on the fixing fittings.
