Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a building material carrying pallet for carrying building materials such as building panels.

[0002]

BACKGROUND ART Industrialized buildings are known to shorten the construction period on site. In this industrialized building, building materials such as building panels are manufactured in a factory, the building materials are transported to a site by a truck, and the building materials are assembled on the site. Building materials such as building panels manufactured in the factory line are loaded on the truck bed by a forklift. In this work, a building material carrying pallet is used to carry a large building material or a plurality of building materials at the same time.
This building material transportation pallet is placed on the bed of a truck with building materials loaded.

A conventional building material transporting pallet is a frame on which building materials are loaded, a plurality of pillars standing upright on the sides of the frame, and a fork provided under the frame and into which a fork of a forklift is inserted. It is a structure with a guide, and this fork guide needs to be high enough to insert the fork.

[0004]

In the conventional building material carrying pallet, since the fork guide is provided in the lower part of the frame, the total height of the support column, the frame and the frame guide is the total height of the building material carrying pallet. . Therefore, since the building material can be loaded only on the frame, there is a problem that the height at which the building material can be loaded is limited by the height of the fork guide with respect to the entire height of the building material transport pallet.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a building material carrying pallet capable of increasing the substantial height at which building materials can be loaded with respect to the total height of the building material carrying pallet.

[0006]

Therefore, the present invention seeks to achieve the above object by disposing the fork guide within the height of the frame. Specifically, the building material transport pallet of the present invention includes a frame on which building materials are loaded, and a plurality of columns vertically provided on the side of the frame,
In a building material transport pallet provided with the frame and having a fork guide into which a fork of a forklift is inserted, the fork guide is arranged within the height of the frame. Here, the plurality of columns may be connected by a connecting member. The connecting member may have a structure provided on the outer side surface or the inner side surface of the column, or may have a structure provided in the same plane as a plane formed by a plurality of columns arranged side by side. Further, the lower end portion of the pillar may have a tapered receiving member that expands downward.

[0007]

The building material such as a building panel is loaded on the upper part of the frame. Since the fork guide is located within the height of the frame, the building material can be loaded on the upper part of the frame by the height of the fork guide. In other words, in the present invention, since the frame is provided at a lower position than the conventional one, the stackable height of the building material can be increased accordingly. Insert the fork of the forklift into the fork guide of the building material carrying pallet, and operate the forklift to place the building material on the loading platform of each building material carrying pallet truck. Here, a large number of building materials may be transported at once by vertically stacking the building material transporting pallets with the building materials loaded.
In this case, the pillar of the upper building material transportation pallet is positioned on the pillar of the lower building material transportation pallet, but if a tapered receiving member is provided at the lower end of the pillar of the upper building material transportation pallet, The pallets for transporting building materials can be easily aligned. When the building materials are loaded on the building material transport pallet and transported to the destination such as the construction site, the building materials are left at the construction site and the building material transport pallet is returned to the factory, etc., but at this time, multiple building material transport pallets are stacked. If they are stacked, the transportation efficiency is good. When stacking multiple building material transport pallets in piles, if multiple pillars are connected by a connecting material and this connecting material is provided on the outer surface of the pillar, the pillars of the upper and lower building material transport pallets By shifting the position of each other horizontally, a plurality of building material transport pallets can be stacked and transported without being bulky. On the other hand, when a structure is used in which a plurality of columns are connected by connecting members and these connecting members are provided in the same plane as the plane formed by the plurality of columns, the upper and lower building material transport pallets are used. Even if the positions of the support columns are laterally displaced, the tips of these support columns interfere with the connecting material, and therefore a plurality of building material transport pallets are stacked and piled up.
