Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is a logistics pallet that enables loading, transportation, and storage of goods, and has a shape that allows the goods to be separated and placed by multi-claw forks.

Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate the movement of goods, a logistics pallet provided with insertion ports on the sides is used. By placing goods on the logistics pallet and inserting the claws of a forklift into the insertion ports provided on the sides of the logistics pallet, the logistics pallet and the goods thereon can be lifted together to move the goods. Wooden or resin-made logistics pallets are often used. When storing goods in a warehouse or the like, they are often stored with the goods placed on the logistics pallet.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] When sorting goods in a warehouse or the like, it is common to manually transfer the goods on the pallet. This work places a burden on humans. This work places a burden on humans.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to reduce the burden on humans in (0003).

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] One embodiment of the present invention has an insertion port into which the claws of a forklift are inserted, and provides a logistics pallet having a comb-shaped groove into which the claws of a multi-claw forklift can enter, and does not use manual labor when separating the goods on the pallet and the logistics pallet.

Effects of the Invention

[0006] ​This invention makes it possible to separate cargo from the pallet on a logistics pallet, or to place cargo on the pallet, without using manual labor. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] A diagram showing the pallet of the present invention. [Figure 2] A diagram showing a typical logistics pallet. [Figure 3] A diagram showing how the forks of a multi-forklift are inserted into the comb-shaped grooves of the pallet according to the present invention. [Figure 4] This diagram shows the situation after the forks of a multi-forklift have been inserted into the comb-shaped grooves of the pallet according to the present invention. [Figure 5] This diagram shows the situation before the pallet and cargo are separated by a multi-forklift. [Figure 6] This diagram shows the situation after a multi-forklift has separated the pallet from the load. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] Wooden or resin flat pallets are commonly used as logistics pallets. An example of a flat pallet is shown as logistics pallet 2. Logistics pallet 2 has two or just one of the insertion openings, 21 and 22. It can be easily moved by inserting the forks of a forklift into these insertion openings.

[0009] This shows a logistics pallet 1, which is one embodiment of the present invention. 11 is a groove provided in the pallet so that the multi-fork 12 can be inserted without hitting the load or the pallet. The multi-fork forklift shown in 31 is a forklift that normally has two forks, but has had its forks replaced with many.

[0010] When the multi-pronged fork is inserted from the direction of arrow 1, the forks enter the comb-shaped grooves and reach underneath the load. If the forks are then lifted upwards, only the load will be lifted, allowing the pallet and load to be separated without the use of manual labor.

[0011] The cargo can be lifted with a multi-forklift, and then lowered when the forks are positioned directly above the comb-shaped grooves of the logistics pallet 1, allowing the cargo to be placed on the pallet.

Claims

1. It has an insertion slot for inserting the fork tines, The goods on the pallet and the pallet itself are separated using a multi-forklift. Therefore, from the 90° direction, a comb-shaped groove into which the forks of a multi-forklift enter is provided. A logistics pallet.

2. In the comb-shaped grooves of the logistics pallet described in claim 1 By inserting the forks of a multi-forklift and lifting, it is possible to lift without using manual labor. A system for separating and placing goods on a pallet from the pallet itself.
