  • said support means comprises more than one tapered member depending downwardly from the underside of said storage platform and said receiving means comprises more than one tapered recess formed in the top side of said storage platform, each tapered recess being complementary in shape to each tapered member.
  • each of the tapered members is an elongated member.
  • each tapered member takes the form of a truncated rectangular pyramid, or frustrum.

  • both the tapered members and the recesses extend the full length or width of a pallet.
  • each tapered member is open to the top side of the storage platform at its junction therewith and is hollow, and so constitutes said receiving means also.
  • each tapered member of said another pallet extends into a tapered recess in said pallet, which is, in fact, the interior of a tapered member of said pallet, and in this way the pallets nest together when stacked.

  • each of the tapered members 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 can be received in the corresponding tapered recess 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, when a first pallet is stacked on a second pallet (as shown in Fig. 4), and so the two pallets "nest" when stacked.
  • the pallet 10 shown in Fig. 1 is made from a single sheet of galvanised steel which is pressed into the configuration shown. If looked at in terms of the manner of fabrication, the storage platform 11 comprises a plurality of parallel metal strips, such as strips 30 and 31, which are separated by recess 20. In order to form the recess, the sheet metal is folded around fold lines 32, 33 to create recess 20, and the other recesses 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 are created similarly.

  • cut-away portions exist on the opposite side of the pallet (not seen) similar cut-away portions exist. As best seen in Fig. 4, these cut-away portions are shaped so as to create an opening for the tines of a forklift truck even when the pallets are nested together in a stacked configuration.
  • the pallet includes a plate 35 welded to the pallet and spaced apart from the pallet by a plurality of stays such as stays 36, 37 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • a plurality of stays such as stays 36, 37 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • This allows for sling lifting of the pallet 10 since the hooks of a sling lift can be secured beneath the edge of the plate 35 at each corner of the pallet 10.
  • the hooks can be secured beneath the plate 35 between the stays to either side of a corner, such as stay 36 and another stay (not shown) to the bottom of that corner to minimise lateral movement of the hooks.
  • layers 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 of a resilient material such as rubber or an elastomeric polymer can be bonded to the base of each of the tapered members 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.

  • the slots, such as slots 44, 45 are conveniently cut from the sheet of galvanised metal used to fabricate the pallet 10 prior to pressing.
  • side access for a forklift is additional to the conventional means of access by insertion of the tines beneath the storage platform 11 through spaces 46, 47 which exist between the downwardly depending members 15, 16 and 17, 18, respectively.

  • These comprise right angle plates 51, 52, 53, 54 welded to each corner of the strapping 34.
  • a pallet when a pallet is added to a stack it is positioned within the right angle plates 51A, 52A, 53A, 54A of the pallet 10A beneath it in the stack to ensure that the pallets are stacked in register.
  • a pallet 10 is loaded in the same manner as a conventional pallet, with the goods being placed on storage platform 11 and, where the nature of goods demands, secured to the platform.
  • the loaded pallet 10 may then be transported from the site of loading to the place where the goods are required.
  • a forklift truck can be used, or, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the pallet may be sling loaded as described earlier.
  • the four way access allowed for by the provision of slots such as slots 44, 45 provides greater flexibility in storage, since a forklift can pick-up the pallet 10 from any of the four sides.
  • the first empty pallet can be placed in a truck or container conveying it back to its source, then a second pallet can be placed on top in the manner described above with reference to Fig. 4, and more pallets can be stacked so as to form a "nested" stack in the manner described above.
  • a stack of pallets can be arranged so as to occupy considerably less volume than a stack of conventional wooden pallets, hence the cost of transporting the pallets back to their source is considerably less than with conventional pallets.
  • the pallets can be unloaded using a forklift truck.
  • the stack may be broken up by insertion of the tines of the forklift truck through the spaces created by the cut-away portions 49, 50 on pallet 10, 49A, 50A on pallet 10A, 49B, 50B on pallet 10B, and so on.
  • the pallets may then be re-used to convey goods, optionally after being washed down if used to convey foods. If damaged in transit the pallets are repairable since they can be pressed back into shape but, if the damage is severe, the pallets can be melted down and recycled.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une palette (10) métallique galvanisée empilable destinée au transport de marchandises, que l'on peut emboîter, vide, afin de réduire le volume de palettes empilées. La palette comporte une plate-forme de stockage (11) présentant une surface supérieure (12) et une surface inférieure (13). Les marchandises sont posées sur la surface supérieure de ladite plate-forme. Un moyen d'appui comprenant plusieurs éléments coniques (14 19) descendant de la partie inférieure de la plate-forme de stockage (11) de façon à relever ladite plate-forme de la surface sur laquelle la palette repose. Des moyens de réception conçus pour recevoir les moyens d'appui d'une autre palette empilée sur ladite palette, les moyens de réception comportant plusieurs évidements coniques (20 25) dont la forme correspond à celle des éléments coniques de la palette supérieure. Un matériau élastique (38 43), tel que le caoutchouc ou un polymère élastomère, peut être lié à la base des éléments coniques. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d'une palette comportant une pièce en tôle et de formage (par exemple par pression) de ladite pièce en tôle selon la forme que l'on souhaite donner à la palette.
