Description

[0001] The invention relates to a long pallet for long goods with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Long pallets for transporting long goods are known in the art. Long pallets are known that are welded together from steel elements. It is also conceivable to manufacture long pallets from wooden beams, for example.

[0003] Long pallets with multiple cross connectors, multiple uprights, and at least two longitudinal beams are known. The cross connectors are arranged at a distance from one another in a transverse direction of the long pallet. The longitudinal beams are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the long pallet and are each welded to at least two cross connectors. In particular, the longitudinal beams extend over the entire length of the long pallet and are each welded to all cross connectors. It is known that one upright is welded to each end of the cross connector. The uprights are arranged upright. Between the uprights arranged on opposite sides of the cross connectors, the long goods can be supported vertically with the cross connectors and horizontally with the uprights.

[0004] A long pallet designed in this way requires a lot of space, especially when no long goods are currently placed on it. This makes handling the empty long pallet difficult. Only a small number of such long pallets can be stacked into a pallet stack to ensure sufficient stability and prevent the pallet stack from tipping over.

[0005] The invention is therefore based on the object of avoiding, or at least mitigating, the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the handling of an empty long pallet is to be simplified and the stackability of several identical long pallets is to be improved.

[0006] This object underlying the invention is now initially achieved by means of a long pallet having the features of claim 1.

[0007] The basic principle of the invention is essentially that the uprights are each connectable or connected by means of a plug connection to a holding element arranged and / or formed on the longitudinal beams and / or the cross connectors in a position projecting upwards from the longitudinal beams and / or the cross connectors.

[0008] Such a plug-in connection is a detachable connection. When assembled, the long pallet has its full height. By dismantling the uprights, this height can advantageously be reduced. If no long goods are to be transported at a time, such a dismantled long pallet takes up very little space, for example in a warehouse. A pallet stack consisting of two or more such dismantled long pallets also only requires a small amount of space, for example in the aforementioned warehouse. Such a pallet stack is then particularly stable due to its low height and the risk of tipping over is minimized, or at least reduced. Furthermore, uprights of different heights can be connected to the holding elements so that the long pallet's height, which is essentially determined by the length of the uprights, can be adapted to the loads to be transported. The plug-in connection therefore preferably creates a modular long pallet.

[0009] Preferably, the uprights can each be connected to the longitudinal beams and / or the cross connectors by being plugged onto holding elements arranged and / or formed so as to protrude from the longitudinal beams and / or the cross connectors. This allows the upright to be connected to the associated holding element quickly and easily. Furthermore, such a long pallet is highly stable, since the load-bearing cross sections of the longitudinal beams and / or the cross connectors are not reduced or interrupted by the holding element. It would also be conceivable, however, for the holding elements to be formed, at least partially, as a recess in the longitudinal beam and / or the cross connector.

[0010] More preferably, the uprights each have a hollow space. In particular, the uprights are formed by means of a hollow profile. In the assembled state, the uprights then enclose the respective associated holding element. This further increases the stability of the long pallet. Furthermore, in the assembled state, the upright preferably contacts the associated longitudinal member and / or cross connector with one end face, so that the holding element is enclosed by the upright over its entire length. This reduces the number of edges and transitions on the outer sides of the long pallet, thus improving the stackability of the long goods on the long pallet.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the long pallet, the outer circumference of the holding elements each has essentially the same shape, albeit slightly smaller in cross-section, as the circumference of the cavity of the respective plug-on upright. This results in large contact surfaces between the holding element and the upright in the assembled state, thus ensuring good force transmission between these two components. Furthermore, the plug-in connection can be created quickly and easily with minimal force and, in particular, without the need for tools.

[0012] According to a further embodiment of the long pallet, the holding elements, in particular their outer circumference, and / or the uprights, in particular their inner circumference, each have a rectangular shape that preferably remains constant over the length of the plug-in connection. This allows the holding elements and / or uprights to be manufactured particularly easily and economically, in particular using an extrusion process. Furthermore, a simplified calculation of the stability of the long pallet is possible.

[0013] According to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the long pallet, at least one of the uprights can be secured to the associated holding element with a securing bolt, wherein the securing bolt penetrates the upright and the associated holding element when secured. This makes it easy to prevent the uprights from becoming undesirably detached from the associated holding elements when handling long goods using the long pallet. Such securing bolts are easy to install, particularly without tools.

[0014] Preferably, the locking bolt can be locked in the secured position using a wing nut. This also provides simple protection for the locking bolt itself against accidental loosening from its installed position. The wing nut can also be installed and removed without tools. The locking bolt associated with the wing nut then has an external thread onto which the wing nut can be screwed.

[0015] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the long pallet, the longitudinal beams rest on the cross connectors. Thus, the long pallet can be lifted by handling means arranged between the cross connectors, such as, in particular, the forks of a forklift, and then transported, for example, by such a forklift. With such a long pallet design, such handling means can be easily positioned below the long pallet's center of gravity.

[0016] Advantageously, a receiving space for receiving the long goods can be formed above an upper side of the cross connectors and between the uprights that can be arranged on opposite long sides of the long pallet. At least one reinforcing strut is connected, in particular welded, to at least two uprights that can be arranged on the same long side. This improves the support of long goods arranged on the long pallet by means of the mounted uprights and the reinforcing strut. In addition, the assembly of the uprights is further simplified because the number of assembly steps can be reduced. Only one assembly step is necessary to assemble the reinforcing strut with the connected uprights. The distances between the uprights on the reinforcing strut preferably correspond to the distances between the associated holding elements.Preferably, all uprights on one of the long sides of the long pallet are connected to one or more reinforcement struts to form a single assembly. Only one assembly step is then required per long side.

[0017] Further preferably, an assembly comprising at least one reinforcing strut with at least two uprights arranged on the same long side and each connected to the reinforcing strut can be placed between two longitudinal beams on the cross connectors. This is particularly relevant when no long goods are to be supported on the long pallet. By arranging this assembly between the longitudinal beams, the long pallet then has particularly small external dimensions in this disassembled state, in particular a particularly low height. The aforementioned assembly then has no influence on these external dimensions. However, the assembly is still positioned on the long pallet, enabling rapid assembly without the need to transport this assembly over long distances.

[0018] The stackability of the long pallet is improved if the long pallet has support areas on the underside. Using the support areas, the long pallet can be supported on the holding elements of a second, identical long pallet to form a pallet stack. Using such support areas, several long pallets, especially of the same type, can be stacked on top of each other particularly easily. The support areas then reduce the risk of an upper long pallet slipping off a long pallet arranged below it. Such a pallet stack also has a particularly low height because the uprights are removed. The risk of the pallet stack tipping over is thus reduced, and more long pallets can be stacked to form a pallet stack that is still stable.

[0019] According to a further embodiment of the long pallet, at least one support area is formed with the aid of a catch element and / or a catch angle. By means of such catch elements and / or such catch angles, the stackability of several long pallets is further improved. By means of such catch elements and / or such catch angles, the risk of an upper long pallet slipping off a long pallet arranged underneath is further reduced. By means of a catch angle, in particular, support of the upper long pallet relative to the long pallet arranged underneath can be achieved in only one direction, in particular in a transverse direction of the long pallet. By means of a catch element, in particular, support of the upper long pallet relative to the long pallet arranged underneath can be achieved in two or more directions, in particular in the transverse direction and in the longitudinal direction of the long pallet.In particular, an upper end region of the associated holding element can be completely enclosed by means of a catching element, so that the upper long pallet is supported relative to the long pallet arranged below it in all directions in a horizontal plane.

[0020] Preferably, at least one crane eye is connected, in particular welded, to one of the longitudinal beams. By means of such a crane eye, in particular by means of four crane eyes, the long pallet can be suspended, for example, from a crane hook, in particular from four crane hooks, of a crane and transported by the crane. The crane eye is preferably designed as a curved rod and connected, in particular welded, to a longitudinal side of one of the longitudinal beams.

[0021] Particularly preferably, at least one of the cross connectors, one of the longitudinal members, and / or one of the reinforcing struts has a substantially rectangular cross-section. Such rectangular cross-sections allow for large contact areas between two components to be connected. Furthermore, components with a rectangular cross-section exhibit high section moduli.

[0022] In particular, at least one of the cross connectors, one of the longitudinal beams, one of the retaining elements, and / or one of the reinforcing struts is designed as a hollow profile. Such hollow profiles can be manufactured easily and economically, e.g., using an extrusion process. A hollow profile has a hollow space running along the axis of the hollow profile. Compared to a solid profile without such a space, a hollow profile has higher section moduli and thus greater stability with the same amount of material.

[0023] Advantageously, at least one of the cross connectors, one of the uprights, one of the longitudinal beams, one of the retaining elements, one of the securing bolts, one of the wing nuts, one of the reinforcing struts, one of the catch elements, one of the catch angles, and / or one of the crane eyes is made of metal, particularly steel. Such components made of metal, particularly steel, are particularly easy to weld, allowing stable connections to be created between the components. Furthermore, steel is readily available and exhibits high stability.

[0024] The long pallet preferably has a longitudinal length of 4 to 8 m. This allows long goods of corresponding length to be transported using the long pallet.

[0025] In the transverse direction, the long pallet preferably has a width of 0.6 to 0.8 m. To keep the overall weight of a loaded long pallet within manageable limits while still fully utilizing the long pallet's storage space, the long pallet is correspondingly shorter in its transverse direction than in its longitudinal direction. The ratio of the long pallet's length to its width is typically between 5 and 14.

[0026] There are numerous possibilities for designing and developing the long pallet for long goods according to the invention. Reference is first made to the claims subordinate to claim 1. A preferred embodiment of the long pallet for long goods according to the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing and the associated description. The drawing shows: Fig. 1a shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the long pallet in an assembled state in a side view, Fig. 1b shows a schematic representation of the front area of ​​the long pallet Fig. 1a in a disassembled state in a three-dimensional view, Fig. 2a shows a schematic representation of one of the uprights of the long pallet shown here in sections during assembly before being attached to an associated holding element in a three-dimensional exploded view, Fig. 2b shows a schematic representation of one of the uprights of the long pallet shown here in sections after being attached to the associated holding element and before it is secured by means of a securing bolt in a three-dimensional exploded view, Fig. 3 in a schematic representation a pallet stack with several long pallets according to Fig. 1a but in a disassembled state in a side view.

[0027] The long pallet 1 for long goods has, according to Fig. 1a to 3, a plurality of cross connectors 2, a plurality of uprights 3, and at least two longitudinal beams 4. The cross connectors 2 are arranged at a distance from one another in a transverse direction Q of the long pallet 1. The longitudinal beams 4 are arranged in a longitudinal direction L of the long pallet 1 and are each connected, in particular welded, to at least two cross connectors 2. In particular, the longitudinal beams 4 extend over the entire length of the long pallet 1 and are each connected, in particular welded, to all cross connectors 2. In particular, the long pallet 1 has exactly two longitudinal beams 4, as in particular Fig. 1b shows.

[0028] The uprights 3 are each connectable or connected by means of a plug connection to a holding element 5 arranged and / or formed on the longitudinal beams 4 and / or the cross connectors 2 in a position projecting upwards from the longitudinal beams 4 and / or the cross connectors 2. According to the embodiments of the long pallet 1 shown here, the holding elements 5 are arranged and / or formed on the longitudinal beams 4, in particular connected, in particular welded, to an upper side of the longitudinal beams 4. The holding elements 5 are in particular Fig. 1b, Fig. 2a and Fig. 3, whereby the plug connection is not created here, the long pallet 1 according to Fig. 1b and Fig. 3 is therefore in a dismantled state, or in Fig. 2a is shown during assembly.

[0029] The uprights 3 can each be connected to the longitudinal beams 4 and / or the cross connectors 2 by being plugged onto holding elements 5 which are arranged and / or formed so as to protrude from the longitudinal beams 4 and / or the cross connectors 2, which is particularly evident from the Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b. The post 3 is moved in the direction of the Fig. 2a dash-dotted arrow onto the upstanding holding element 5, whereby in Fig. 2b this plugged-in state is reached, i.e. the plug connection is created.

[0030] The uprights 3 each have a hollow space 6. The uprights 3 are formed, in particular, by means of a hollow profile. It would also be conceivable, however, for the retaining element to have a recess into which the upright is inserted, so that the upright's hollow space is then not absolutely necessary. Such a retaining element having a recess can be arranged and / or formed above an upper side of the associated longitudinal member and / or cross connector and / or within the associated longitudinal member and / or cross connector.

[0031] An outer circumference of the holding elements 5 has essentially the same shape, slightly smaller in cross section, as a circumference of the cavity 6 of the respective plug-on upright 3, such as in particular Fig. 2a shows. A corresponding fit is realized between the retaining element 5 and the upright 3, ensuring that manual insertion is possible without great effort or additional tools.

[0032] The retaining elements 5, in particular their outer circumference, and / or the uprights 3, in particular their inner circumference, each have a rectangular shape that preferably remains constant over the length of the plug-in connection. Other coordinated shapes are conceivable. In particular, the retaining elements could have a cross-section tapering towards the projecting end over the length of the plug-in connection, in which case the cavity would have a corresponding negative shape with a cross-section that widens towards the longitudinal member when plugged in.

[0033] At least one of the uprights 3 can be secured to the associated holding element 5 with a securing bolt 7. The securing bolt 7 penetrates the upright 3 and the associated holding element 5 in the secured state. This secured state is in Fig. 1a, so that the long pallet 1 is in the assembled state. The holding element 5 and the upright 3 point towards the receiving of the securing bolt 7, such as Fig. 1b, Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b, each have a through hole, which are aligned with each other when the post 3 is placed on the holding element 5. Fig. 2b shows the locking bolt 7 shortly before its assembly, whereby the locking bolt 7 is inserted into the through holes in the direction of the adjacent dotted arrow in order to Fig. To achieve the secured state shown in Figure 1a.

[0034] The securing bolt 7 can be locked in the secured state by means of a wing nut 8. After the securing bolt 7 has been pushed through the post 3 and the holding element 5, the wing nut 8 can be screwed onto an end of the securing bolt 7 opposite a bolt head. This end of the securing bolt 7 opposite the bolt head protrudes from the post 3 and has an external thread, at least in the protruding part. Other securing mechanisms are conceivable. Instead of the wing nut, for example, a spring pin or cotter pin could be used, which penetrates the securing bolt in the area of ​​a transverse bore. Furthermore, a linchpin with a securing bolt could be used.

[0035] A receiving space 9 for receiving the long goods can be formed above an upper side of the cross connectors 2 and between the uprights 3 that can be arranged on opposite longitudinal sides of the long pallet 1. The receiving space 9 is formed in particular in the assembled state of the long pallet 1. At least one reinforcing strut 10 is connected, in particular welded, to at least two uprights 3 that can be arranged on the same longitudinal side. In the view from Fig. 1a shows an assembly 11 for one of the long sides of the long pallet 1, comprising, in particular, three uprights 3 and several reinforcing struts 10 connecting these three uprights 3. This assembly 11 can then be mounted together on the holding elements 5. The plug-in connections of the three uprights 3 with the associated holding elements 5 can be created, in particular, simultaneously by a single movement of the assembly 11.

[0036] The reinforcement strut can also be designed as a handrail, which, when the long pallet is assembled, is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the long pallet and, in particular, extends over the entire length of the long pallet. Such handrails are connected, in particular welded, to the uprights at the ends of the uprights facing away from the longitudinal beams when the long pallet is assembled.

[0037] The longitudinal members 4 are located according to the Fig. 1a to 3 on the cross-connectors 2. In particular, the longitudinal members 4 are connected, in particular welded, to an upper side of the cross-connectors 2. It is conceivable that at least two of the cross-connectors each have a recess facing the receiving space and oriented upwards, with one of the longitudinal members engaging in a recess of at least two cross-connectors. This longitudinal member is then arranged entirely in the respective recesses and does not protrude into the receiving space relative to the cross-connectors.

[0038] An assembly 11 comprising at least one reinforcing strut 10 with at least two uprights 3 arranged on the same longitudinal side and each connected to the reinforcing strut 10 can be placed between two longitudinal beams 4 on the cross connectors 2, as shown in particular in Fig. 1b. Here, in particular, the assemblies 11 of both long sides lie one above the other, whereby only the front upright 3 of the lower assembly and the upper assembly 11 are at least partially visible and are each provided with reference symbols. In this disassembled state, the lower assembly rests on the cross connectors 2. The upper assembly 11 rests on the lower assembly. In this disassembled state, an upper side of the long pallet 1 is formed by the upper side of the holding elements 5. In the assembled state according to Fig. 1a, an upper side of the long pallet 1 is formed by the upper side of the uprights 3.

[0039] The long pallet 1 has support areas 12 on the underside. The long pallet 1 is fixed by means of the support areas 12 to the holding elements 5 of a second, identical long pallet 1 to form a Fig. 3 shown pallet stack 13 can be supported. Fig. Figure 3 shows three long pallets 1 stacked one above the other. The elements required to support the long pallets 1 are provided with reference symbols only on the side of the long pallets 1 shown here on the right.

[0040] At least one support area 12 is formed by means of a catch element 14 and / or a catch angle. In particular, a catch element 14 is arranged in each end region of each longitudinal beam 4, so that the long pallet 1 preferably has a total of four catch elements 14, wherein Fig. 1a and Fig. 3 Due to the perspective, two catch elements 14 are visible per long pallet 1.

[0041] The catch elements 14 have at least two side walls, wherein the side walls are arranged at an angle of 40° to 80°, in particular 60°, from the underside of the longitudinal members 4. Thus, a retaining element 5 can be centered in the catch element 14, or a corresponding offset of the retaining elements 5 relative to the catch elements 14 can be compensated for by the angled side walls.

[0042] At least one crane eye 15 is connected, in particular welded, to one of the longitudinal beams 4. In particular, the crane eye 15 is designed as a bent rod and is connected, in particular welded, to a longitudinal side of one of the longitudinal beams 4, wherein the bent rod protrudes beyond the upper side of the longitudinal beam 4 to form the crane eye 15. However, the crane eye could also be formed on an eyebolt connected to the longitudinal beam.

[0043] At least one of the cross connectors 2, one of the longitudinal beams 4, and / or one of the reinforcing struts 10 has a substantially rectangular cross-section. Alternatively, other cross-sectional shapes could also be used, such as T-shaped cross-sections, I-shaped cross-sections, or even oval cross-sections.

[0044] At least one of the cross connectors 2, one of the longitudinal beams 4, one of the retaining elements 5, and / or one of the reinforcing struts 10 is designed as a hollow profile. The use of solid profiles is also conceivable.

[0045] At least one of the cross connectors 2, one of the uprights 3, one of the longitudinal beams 4, one of the holding elements 5, one of the securing bolts 7, one of the wing nuts 8, one of the reinforcing struts 10, one of the catching elements 14, one of the catching angles and / or one of the crane eyes 15 is made of metal, in particular steel.

[0046] Metal, especially steel, is easily weldable. The permanent connections described above are therefore primarily designed as welded joints. In particular, all permanent connections can be welded joints, or a combination of different permanent connection types can be used. As an alternative to permanent welding, the components can also be connected to one another using screw connections or rivets, for example. It is conceivable that the uprights 3 are reinforced with welded reinforcement plates to increase their stability.

[0047] The long pallet 1 has a length of 4 to 8 m in the longitudinal direction L. The long pallet 1 has an extension of 0.6 to 0.8 m in the transverse direction Q.

[0048] The number of component types described for long pallet 1 is chosen as an example. For stability reasons, more or fewer of the described components of a component type can be used. Certain component types, such as the reinforcement struts 10, the catch elements 14, and / or the crane eyes 20, can also be omitted entirely.

[0049] For transporting the long pallet 1, for example, a fork of a cable stacker can first be positioned between the cross connectors 2, in particular from one of the long sides of the long pallet 1, wherein the long pallet 1 can subsequently be lifted by means of the fork of the cable stacker.
