Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bumper loading device 100 of this embodiment has a loading platform 1 and a plurality of supporting columns 2. The loading platform 1 acts as a base of the bumper loading device 100, and is used to carry the supporting columns 2 and accommodate the bumper. The loading platform 1 is composed of a frame 10 and a floor surface 11, and the floor surface 11 can be paved with a steel plate or a steel mesh, so that the operator can move on the loading platform 1. The supporting columns 2 are vertically arranged on the floor surface 11 of the loading platform 1, and are used to support and fix the bumper. In this embodiment, a total of ten supporting columns are arranged on the floor surface 11 of the loading platform 1 in parallel into two columns and five rows, and two supporting columns in each row form a group, which can support one bumper, so the bumper loading device 100 of this embodiment can accommodate and support five bumpers. However, the number of supporting columns is not limited to this, and can be changed according to the size of the bumper and the size of the loading platform. For example, the supporting columns can be arranged in more than five rows while maintaining two columns, or less than five rows.

[0032] In the present embodiment, all the support columns 2 can be folded to reduce the height, but at least two rows of support columns 2 can also be folded, for example, the support columns 2 except for the row of support columns 2 farthest from the entrance and exit can be folded. Since all the support columns or at least two rows of support columns in the plurality of support column rows can be folded to reduce the height, when the bumper is moved in or out of the loading platform, the support columns can be folded to reduce the height of the support columns, which can reduce the height of the bumper lifted by the operator, reduce the workload, and prevent the bumper from colliding with the support columns. In addition, in the present embodiment, the two support columns 2 in the same row are folded in directions facing each other, so that the space occupied by the folded support columns can be effectively reduced.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, each row of supporting columns is parallel to two opposite sides of the floor surface 11 of the loading platform 1, and each column of supporting columns is parallel to the other two opposite sides of the floor surface 11 of the loading platform 1. Specifically, each row of supporting columns is parallel to the short side of the floor surface 11 of the loading platform 1, and each column of supporting columns is parallel to the long side of the floor surface 11 of the loading platform 1. Between the long side of the floor surface 11 and the column of supporting columns closest to it, a passage of more than 0.5 meters is formed for operators to pass through. By making the distance from the edge of the loading platform to the column of supporting columns greater than 0.5 meters, a passage through which operators can pass can be formed on the loading platform, and operators can enter the loading platform to carry the bumper, making the operation convenient.

[0034] Next, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The specific structure of the frame 10 of the mounting platform 1 will be described. Figure 3 It is a top perspective view showing the structure of a frame of a mounting platform of the bumper mounting device of the present invention. Figure 4 1 is a bottom perspective view showing the structure of the frame of the mounting platform of the bumper mounting device of the present invention. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the frame 10 of the loading platform 1 has a floor frame 12, a column 13, a guardrail 14 and a forklift arm receiver 15.
