  • a pallet made of a metal is provided with a strength, the pallet is heavy and fabrication thereof is liable to be complicated.
  • various schemes have been carried out in view of cost, weight and strength and there have been known constitutions by technologies, for example, described below.
  • a pallet 50 for transportation is constituted by arranging pluralities of longitudinal members 41 and cross members 43 made of steel each having a section in a channel-like shape into a shape of a frame and fixedly welding portions of the longitudinal members 41 and the cross members 43 which are brought into contact each other to thereby constitute a frame body 49 .
  • a pallet for transportation in which a plurality of leg portions in each of which an upper face side thereof constitutes a recessed portion opened upwardly and a lower face side thereof is projected downwardly to be able to be fitted to the recessed portion, are provided to hang from a face plate integrally formed by polypropylene or reproduced polypropylene having a square shape by an injection molding process or a press-forming process, there are formed fork inserting portions which are opened at both end portions of the face plate in a direction of inserting and retracting forks and downwardly between the leg portions on the lower face side of the face plate, and which are laminated to align in an up and down direction.
  • a pallet having a face plate which is formed in a shape of three projections and two recesses by an iron plate and both side edges of which are folded to bend inwardly into an L-like shape to constitute tight ends, and a square prism which is integrally formed to provide a notched port on one side thereof and which is formed with recess fitting notched ports both on upper and lower sides of a face thereof corresponding to the notched port and by the recess fitting notched port, two sheets of the face plates corresponding in parallel are fitted to the square prism to combine and bonded together by spot welding.
  • the invention has been carried out in order to resolve the above-described problems and it is an object thereof to provide a pallet for transportation which is light-weighted and having necessary durability, excellent in safety in handling or in fire or the like and facilitated in fabrication and assembling thereof.
  • a pallet for transportation characterized in a pallet comprising:
  • an upper face plate comprising a strip-like face plate made of a metal formed by constituting a sectional shape alternately arranged with (n+1) pieces of projected portions and n pieces (n is a natural number) of recessed portions;
  • a support member a side face of which is formed substantially in a square shape by being turned around to fold to bend to an inner side at four portions thereof in a longitudinal direction of the strip-like face plate and in which a reinforcement member having a section in a channel-like shape is fitted to the projected portion between upper and lower ones of the strip-like face plates at both end portions and at least one portion of middle portions thereof in the longitudinal direction:
  • a pallet for transportation characterized in a pallet comprising:
  • an upper face plate comprising a strip-like face plate made of a metal formed by constituting a sectional shape alternately arranged with (n+1) pieces of projected portions and n pieces (n is a natural number) of recessed portions;
  • the strip-like face plate is provided with a section in a zigzag shape alternately arranged with a plurality (n+1 (n is a natural number)) of the projected portions and a plurality (n) of the recessed portions and therefore, a resistance force against folding to bend the strip-like face plate formed by the projected portions and recessed portions in the longitudinal direction, is increased and a rigidity by which the pallet is prevented from being flexed even when the pallet is loaded with a heavy weight article, is provided and safety in pallet transportation can be promoted.
  • the pallet Since the section in the zigzag shape is provided, the pallet can be light-weighted in comparison with a volume of the total and when a vacant pallet is moved, disassembling or the like of the pallet is facilitated and the pallet is excellent in handling performance.
  • the strip-like face plate can be formed integrally from a metal plate by press-forming, roll forming or the like and therefore, fabrication and assembling thereof can easily be carried out and the pallet for transportation can be fabricated inexpensively.
  • the support member reinforced by the reinforcement member can also be attached to the upper face plate for constituting a pallet mounting face by welding and therefore, assembling of the pallet can easily be carried out.
  • the pallet of claim 1 there can be constituted the solid pallet reducing the reinforcement members to be fitted by using the formed support member constituted by folding to bend the strip-like face plate at the four portions in the longitudinal direction and assembling of the members is facilitated. Further, since a cut face is not exposed at an end portion thereof in the longitudinal direction, the pallet is excellent in safety.
  • a plate material made of a metal integrally formed into the strip-like face plate may be formed by using a plated steel plate coated with zinc plating or the like, a stainless steel plate or the like when corrosion resistance is requested other than a steel plate or the like. Further, an aluminum alloy such as duralumin or the like may be used when it is necessary to be light-weighted.
  • the reinforcement member is formed by folding to bend, for example, a metal plate in a strip-like shape into a channel-like shape and a pair of upper and lower strip-like face plates are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval therebetween via the reinforcement member to support to couple, thereby, the support member can be reinforced without being crushed.
  • L-like portions provided at both ends in a width direction of the strip-like face plate are formed by being folded back to an inner side, thereby, a sharpened end portion is prevented from being projected to an outer side to thereby promote safety and a resistance force against external force in a direction of folding to bend the strip-like face plate can be promoted.
  • the upper face plate for constituting the pallet mounting face is provided with the protection portion formed by bending to crush the end portion of the strip-like face plate in the L-like shape and therefore, even when a person or a mounted article is brought into contact with the pallet for transportation, the damage can be restricted to a minimum limit and safety in handling or in transporting the pallet can be ensured.
  • the protection portion can simply be formed only by bending to crush the end portion of the strip-like face plate to the inner side in the L-like shape and therefore, the pallet for transportation can be fabricated extremely easily, which is excellent in economic performance.
