Benefits of technology

The cargo handling pallet of this patent allows for more efficient loading of cargo into containers or warehouses and improved efficiency in cargo handling work. Unlike conventional pallets, this pallet does not require a space for the fork, making it thinner. The placement surface can be maximized, and the fork can smoothly be inserted between the ground contact surface and the pallet supporting surface. The pallet supporting surface can also be visually checked through the recess, allowing for efficient cargo handling work, especially on second or higher stage cargo. Overall, this pallet design improves the efficiency of loading cargo and the work efficiency of cargo handling.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the conventional pallet has a large volume due to the thickness of the pallet, and erodes the capacity of a container or warehouse, leading to a decrease in cargo loading efficiency.

example 1

[0064]FIGS. 1A and 1B are views illustrating a cargo handling pallet according to Example 1 of the present invention. The cargo handling pallet according to the present example includes the basic configuration described above, and is particularly characterized by the four edges 3 of the placement surface 1 formed as the eaves edges 3′ over the entire length.

[0065]Hereinafter, configurations of the eaves edge 3′ of the placement surface 1 and the recess 4 defined below the eaves edge 3′ will be described in detail.

[0066]As illustrated in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 4A, the eaves edge 3′ has a lower surface 3′a including a plane inclined downward to the inside of the pallet (center side of the pallet), and also has, on the lower surface 3′a, a sliding contact portion 3′c which is brought into sliding contact with the upper surface 12a of the distal end of the fork 11. A lower end 3′b of the lower surface 3′a is connected to the ground contact surface 2. In the present invention, the sliding co...

[0082]FIGS. 9A and 9B are views illustrating a cargo handling pallet according to Example 2 of the present invention. The cargo handling pallet according to the present example includes the basic configuration described above, and is particularly characterized by the four edges 3 of the placement surface 1 formed as the eaves edges 3′ over a part of the length.

[0083]Specifically, in the present example, the eaves edge 3′ is formed over the length of a part of the edge 3 of the placement surface 1 other than both ends thereof as illustrated in the drawings. Therefore, both ends of the edges 3 are configured to be coupled to the ground contact surface 2 via the side surfaces 5, whereby the cargo handling pallet can be stably arranged on the pallet supporting surface since the four corners of the ground contact surface 2 are not removed.

[0084]The shapes of the eaves edge 3′ and the recess 4 and the mechanism related to the insertion and removal of the fork 11 according to the present e...

[0085]FIGS. 10A and 10B are views illustrating a cargo handling pallet according to Example 3 of the present invention. The cargo handling pallet according to the present example includes the basic configuration described above, and is particularly characterized by the four edges 3 of the placement surface 1 formed as the eaves edges 3′ over multiple parts of the length.

[0086]Specifically, in the present example, the eaves edge 3′ is formed over the length of each of multiple parts of the edge 3 of the placement surface 1 other than the center thereof as illustrated in the drawings. In other words, the two eaves edges 3′ are formed at an interval.

[0087]Therefore, in the present example, the centers of the edges 3 are configured to be coupled to the ground contact surface 2 via the side surfaces 5, whereby the cargo handling pallet can be stably arranged on the pallet supporting surface since the centers of the edges of the ground contact surface 2 are not removed.

Abstract

A cargo handling pallet includes: a cargo placement surface, and a ground contact surface parallel with the placement surface and in contact with a pallet supporting surface. At least one of four edges of the placement surface is formed as an eaves edge over the entire length or a part of the length. A recess is defined below the eaves edge such that the pallet supporting surface is exposed by the recess, and a distal end of a fork can be inserted into the recess. The eaves edge has a sliding contact portion that is brought into sliding contact with an upper surface of the distal end of the fork. The depth of the recess is set longer than the fork insertion length for a case where the upper surface of the distal end of the fork is first brought into contact with the sliding contact portion.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a cargo handling pallet that serves as a platform on which cargo is placed during cargo handling work such as cargo loading, unloading, and conveying.BACKGROUND ART[0002]This type of cargo handling pallet is premised on that the cargo handling pallet is scooped up, raised, lowered, or conveyed together with cargo using a fork (claw) of a forklift truck inserted into the cargo handling pallet, and thereafter the fork is removed from the cargo handling pallet. Therefore, how the fork can be smoothly inserted and removed is an important factor of the cargo handling pallet.[0003]Conventionally, a rectangular thick plate-like cargo handling pallet called a conventional pallet (“flat pallet” in Japan) is the most prevalent type of cargo handling pallet. This pallet includes a placement surface on which cargo is placed and a ground contact surface that is in contact with a pallet supporting surface such as the ground, and a fork pocket ...
