Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an outline of the entire structure of a transportation rack 1.

That is, the carrying rack 1 includes a rack body 2, a column insertion portion 3 standing upright from the four corners of the rack body 2, and four columns 4 inserted into these column insertion portions 3. It is composed by.

The rack body 2 is formed in a lattice shape in a plan view and is framed so that its outer periphery is framed in a rectangular shape. Of these, the grid-shaped portions are parallel to each other at an interval equal to the width of the fork of a forklift (not shown).
A pair of long steel materials 21 and short steel materials 21 are assembled in a cross shape on the same plane. In addition, these steel materials 2
1 has a rectangular cross section, and the interiors of the intersecting portions of the steel materials 21 communicate with each other. Further, along the end opening 20 of each steel material 21, a steel material 22 thinner than the steel material 21 is welded and fixed,
With the openings 20 of the respective steel materials 21 facing the four sides of the rack body 2, this grid-like portion is trimmed into a rectangular shape. As a result, the forks of a forklift (not shown) can be inserted from any of the four sides of the rack body 2. Further, among the plurality of sections formed by the steel material 21 and the steel material 22 of the rack body 2, a plurality of long plate-like receiving plates 23 are welded and fixed to the back surface of the rectangular section formed near the four corners. Then, this section can be used as the column storage section 24. Further, a plate piece 25 that projects slightly above the surface of the rack body 2 is welded and fixed to one of the long sides of the rack body 2. This plate piece 25 plays a role of a stopper when loading a load loaded on a pallet (not shown) from the other long side of the rack body 2 and prevents the load from shifting.

The column insertion portion 3 is made of a tubular steel material and is welded and fixed to the four corners of the rack body 2 so as to stand above the rack body 2. Then, the pillars 4 can be pulled out and connected to the inside of each pillar insertion portion 3. In addition, at the lower end of each pillar insertion portion 3, the rack body 2
The inverted dish-shaped pedestal part 31 so as to project below the lower surface of the
Are fixed by welding.

The pillar 4 is made of a steel material that can be inserted into and removed from the pillar insertion portion 3 and connected thereto. Further, the length is not particularly limited as long as it can be stored in the column storage portion 24 formed in the rack body 2, and depends on the bulkiness of the load placed on the rack body 2 and the like. Can be changed as appropriate. In this way, the pillars 4 according to the bulkiness of the luggage
By using, it is possible to prevent a wasteful space from being formed between the rack bodies 2 when the transport racks 1 are stacked, and to efficiently load luggage.

When the transportation rack 1 thus constructed is used, as shown in FIG. 2, the luggage is placed on the rack body 2 in an assembled state in which the pillar 4 is inserted into the pillar insertion portion 3. Used. And each pillar 4 of this rack 1 for transportation
A plurality of transportation racks 1 can be stacked by stacking the pedestal portion 31 of the transportation rack 1 having the same configuration on the above. This stacking operation can be performed by inserting a fork of a forklift (not shown) into the opening 20 of the steel material 21 facing each side of the rack body 2 and moving up and down the transport rack 1. That is,
According to this transport rack 1, the rack main body 2 for loading luggage can share the function of the fork insertion portion for inserting the fork of the forklift, and the transport rack 1 can be manufactured with a reduced number of parts. Cost reduction can be realized. Further, the rack body 2 can be made thinner and lighter, and multi-tiered stacking can be performed without worrying about weight restrictions and height restrictions.

On the other hand, when the luggage is not placed on the transport rack 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the columns 4 are stored in the respective column storage portions 24 of the rack body 2, and each of the transport racks 1 is stored. A plurality of transportation racks 1 can be stacked by stacking the pedestal portion 31 of the transportation rack 1 having the same configuration on the pillar storage portion 3. In this case, since the columns 4 can be stacked without being bulky by the height of the columns 4, it is possible to stack the transport racks 1 at about half the height as compared with the case where loads are placed. In addition, since the pillar 4 can be easily inserted, removed, connected, and housed in the pillar housing portion 24,
It can be used conveniently without any special effort.

As a result, as shown in FIG.
In the case of stacking and transporting the transportation rack 1 on which the wall panel 6 is placed on the loading platform 51 of the truck 5 having a loading capacity of 10 tons, conventionally, there are a total of 24 transportation racks 1 with 6 sheets × 4 stages.
However, according to the transport rack 1 of the present invention, it is possible to mount only 6 sheets × 5 by reducing the thickness and weight.
It is possible to mount a total of 30 transportation racks 1 in stages.
Further, since the rack main body 2 is flat and thin on both the upper and lower surfaces, the wall panel 6 mounted on each transportation rack 1
The number of can be increased from the conventional one. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when transporting an empty transport rack 1 after transport, it is possible to mount a total of 60 transport racks 1 with 6 sheets × 10 stages.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, the fork of a forklift can be directly inserted into the steel material forming the rack body to perform the work, and the rack body is kept thin and thin and lightweight. It can be an integrated transport rack. As a result, it is possible to stack the luggage in a multi-tiered state in which the luggage is placed more bulky than the conventional transportation rack, and it is possible to improve the transportation efficiency.

Further, by sharing the function of the fork insertion portion for inserting the fork of the forklift with the rack main body for mounting the load, the number of parts can be reduced and the cost of the transportation rack can be reduced. be able to.

Further, when the luggage is not placed, the column can be stored in the column storage portion to further reduce the size of the transportation rack, so that the transportation rack can be stored or emptied for transportation. When racks are transported by truck, they can be efficiently stacked and transported.

Further, the transport rack can be assembled and disassembled into a loaded state and a stored state by simply pulling out and inserting the columns, connecting the columns, and storing them in the storing section.
It is easy to use and easy to use.
