- Figures 7a and 7b are perspective views showing the four way openings of Figs. 6a to 6c
- Figure 8 shows a cross-sectional view of an alternate embodiment of the pallet of Fig. 1.
- a pallet 1 manufactured of metal typically galvanised steel or aluminium.
- the pallet 1 includes a top deck 5, a bottom deck 10 and at least two elongate bearers 15 securing the decks 5, 10 together.
- each bearer 15 has a first portion 16 and a second portion 17 extending separately between the decks 5, 10 and having a top web 20 and a bottom web 25 connected to a central web 30 by inclined portions 35.
- the webs 20, 25, 30 of the first and second portions 16, 17 are releasably securable to each other and the decks 5, 10 by fastening means 40 such as a threaded fastener which is typically located in holes 45.
- the central webs 30 are substantially vertical or normal to the decks 5, 10.
- the fastening means 40 could be a weld or rivet, the pallet 1 easily being repaired by drilling out the weld or rivet, replacing the part and re-welding or riveting.
- the portions 16, 17 of the bearers 15 are positioned abutting each other and fastening means 40 in the form of a threaded fastener, spot welds, blind rivet or the like secure the two central webs 30 together.
- the pallet 1 can also include a counter-sunk bore or aperture in the holes 45 for hiding the fastening means 40 below the plane of the adjacent surfaces. This will ensure no sharp objects, such as the end of a bolt, protrude above the adjacent surface of the deck 5, 10.
- the elongate bearer 15 can also include a stiffener strip 50 to provide further support to the bearer 15 when the pallet 1 is required for heavy loads.
- the stiffener strip 50 is merely attached along the central web 30 at the holes 45 for the fastening means 40.
- the pallet 1 can also include many additional components to provide a more profiled pallet 1.
- the top or bottom decks 5, 10 can include profiled configurations such as corrugations as best seen in Figures 2 and 7a, 7b. Cover plates and end caps 55 or the like as seen in Figures 3 and 4 could also be utilised.
- the top and bottom webs 20, 25 are load support flanges providing an opening 47 therebetween allowing access for spot welding or attaching threaded fasteners such as screws or bolts or the like.
- the separator of the portions 16, 17 also allows for only one side of the bearer 15 to be replaced if required.
- the webs 20, 25 are abutting.
- a rounded non- sharp edge is preferably provided between the webs 20, 25 and inclined portions 35.
- the overall dimensions of all components can change depending upon the required pallet 1.
- a standard 1000 x 1200 cm pallet 1 is shown.
- the pallet 1 dimensions can vary to suit particular industry requirements such as, 1165 x 1165 cm, for example.
- the decks 5, 10 can be in varying configurations, such as corrugations, flat panels, curves or the like.
- the corrugations for example, can be in any direction, non- uniform, and/or a combination of directions or shapes depending on the load to be lifted and moved.
- galvanised steel corrugations are shown providing superior strength and durability.
- the corrugations also provide maximum surface contact while retaining structural adequacy.
- a 100% flat surface 79 can be provided in place of the corrugations or affixed to the top of the corrugations (see Figure 4) or a combination of surfaces can be provided.
- the advantages of the pallet 1 as shown herein is that all components can be disassembled and reassembled or damaged components easily replaced, if required.
- Shaped sleeves 60 (as best seen in Figure 4) made of any material could also be added to cover edges and increase strength. End caps 55 could also be added to provide a more aesthetically looking pallet 1, provide impact resistance, cover apertures and edges at the ends of the bearers 15. If corrugations are used an edge strip 65 could also be provided to seal in any openings for hygiene requirements. There is also shown in Figures 2, 6a to 6c, 7a and 7b, openings 75 for the tines or wheels of forklifts and pallet trucks.
- the pallet 1 could also include a cross member (not shown) between the bearers 15 or inside the corrugations to provide additional support for very heavy loads.
- Figure 4 also shows additional componentary including a lip 77 formed in the corrugations to ensure no sharp edges and to stiffen against impact from a forklift.
- a separate U-shaped cover 60 could also be provided as mentioned above.
- the lip 77 also provides an increase in the horizontal strength of the pallet 1.
- This embodiment also shows a further sheet material 79 across the top of the corrugations and a stiffener strip 50.
- the sheet material 79 could be galvanised steel, timber, plastic or any other material, if required.
- Figures 5a to 5d and 8 show different embodiments of the bearer 15. These embodiments are utilised for different fastener combinations allowing easy access to the bearer 15.
- additional members 80 can be included to receive the decks 5, 10.
- Figures 6a to 6c, 7a and 7b show further embodiments of the invention, detailing openings 75 in the pallet 1 for allowing four way entry for a lifting device.
- Figure 8 shows a further embodiment of the invention having fastening means 40 in the form of a screw and rivet.
- the webs 20 and 25 are turned inward to reduce sharp edges.
- the pallet 1 disclosed herein can be completely disassembled as all components can be replaced individually quickly and inexpensively.
- Pallet 1 has extremely strong load bearing capacity due to the angles of the members making up the portions 16, 17; has structural adequacy and load distribution for rotational movements; the shape can be altered in all dimensions and angles for various purposes; smooth non sharp surfaces on each bearer 15 horizontal side surfaces; small cross sectional area of end maximises width of openings 75 for fork lift tines; allows for bolted, riveted, screwed or welded fixings 40 for joins and decks 5, 10 to bearers 15; holes or apertures 45 are recessed allowing for non protruding fixings/connections; external side has no visible joins, resists dirt collection; interior space is minimised to reduce contamination area; interior space small to enhance any cleaning pressure hose effect; the bearers 15 could be galvanised steel or aluminium.
- the deck 5, 10 and the additional sheet material layer 79 could be steel, timber, plastic, paperboard, composites or fibres.
- the steel bearers 15 for example could support timber decking and be secured by a threaded nail, bolt or the like.
- the bearer 15 shape allows for mid height horizontal stiffener 50 attachment for extra heavy loads; bearer shape can be segmented to allow for 4 way pallet option; deck 5, 10 can be adapted to 100% coverage if pallet 1 purpose requires; one or more additional decks 5, 10 could be added; allows hygienic adaptability for food industry requirements; deck board profile can have edge returns 77 roll formed to avoid sharp edges; deck board edge return 60 to stiffen end against fork lift and pallet truck impact; bearer 15 shape allows for timber deck boards if necessary; deck board shape can have steel strip attached to cover cavities; deck board profile can have 45-60 degree folded ends to eliminate sharp edges; and alternatively deck boards can have horizontal angle cover attachment.
