Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for transporting and storing scaffolding boards used at construction sites and the like. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, the general style for storing scaffolding boards as temporary materials is to lay wooden poles (square timber, batten corners) on the floor of a material storage area, stack them on top of each other, and secure them with a fixing member (wire) such as wire (see Non-Patent Document 1). When transporting these, the wooden poles (square timber) are similarly laid on the bed of a truck, and workers manually carry the scaffolding boards one by one (or several by one) and transfer them for transport, and when they arrive at the site, the procedure is reversed again to break down the load, laying wooden poles (square timber) in the storage space on the site, and stacking them on top of each other, which is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

[0003] In addition, scaffolding boards come in different widths depending on the standards, but when stacking them at a material storage area, it is common to stack only boards of the same width together in a group, taking into account factors such as preventing the load from falling over and the need to facilitate loading and unloading.

A page introducing points to consider when deciding on a location https: / / ashiba-best-partner.co.jp / magazine / shizai-okiba / Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the conventional method of transporting scaffolding boards was very time-consuming and labor-intensive, which was a factor in pushing up labor costs.In addition, there were cases where scaffolding boards of different widths were required to be transported and stored together in one group depending on the site, but this request could not be met.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and its objective is to provide a pallet for transporting and storing scaffolding boards, which significantly reduces the effort and time required to transport scaffolding boards, and which allows scaffolding boards of different widths to be stored simply, safely, and attractively as a single group, and a transporting or storing method using the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a frame comprising base sections arranged at the four corners and on which anti-collapse poles can be erected, a frame configured to be rectangular in a plan view by connecting the base sections at the four corners, and a central frame fixed to span approximately the centers of two opposing sides of the frame frame, the frame frame on which the central frame is erected is positioned at a position higher than the bottom surface of the base sections so that the forks of a forklift can enter, and the central frame is provided with an adjustment pole erection section on which an adjustment pole can be erected.

[0008] With this configuration, the pallet with the scaffolding boards placed on it can be transported by forklift, which significantly reduces the effort and time required to transport the scaffolding boards. Furthermore, by erecting an adjustment pole on the adjustment pole erection section of the central frame according to the width of the scaffolding boards to be placed, scaffolding boards of different widths can be transported and stored together as one group.

[0009] The present invention is also characterized in that a plurality of the adjustment pole standing portions are provided.

[0010] This configuration makes it possible to accommodate combinations of scaffolding boards of various widths.

[0011] The frame on the side on which the central frame is not installed is configured in two levels, upper and lower, and the bottom surface of the lower level frame is configured to be flush with the bottom surface of the base portion.

[0012] With this configuration, it becomes possible to place the entire pallet on top of a stack of scaffolding boards (a group of scaffolding boards) that has been stacked and stored in the conventional manner, without using the scaffolding board transport and storage pallet of the present invention. In other words, the lower frame, which is configured to be flush with the bottom surface of the base, comes into surface contact with the group of scaffolding boards that have already been stored, and acts like a block of timber, preventing damage to the group of scaffolding boards that have already been stored.

[0013] The base portion is also characterized in that an insertion portion is provided on the bottom surface thereof into which the cargo collapse prevention pole can be inserted.

[0014] With this configuration, it is possible to stack pallets for transporting and storing scaffolding boards on top of each other with the scaffolding boards placed on them, via the cargo collapse prevention poles.

[0015] The anti-collapse pole inserted into the base portion is characterized in that it has a height corresponding to the thickness of a specific number of scaffolding boards to be placed on the scaffold.

[0016] With this configuration, for example, when a 20-board (20-tier) stacking anti-collapse pole is inserted and used, the number of boards (tiers) currently stacked can be instantly determined based on how high they are stacked against the pole.

[0017] From another perspective, it can also be seen as a method of transporting scaffolding boards or a method of storing scaffolding boards using the scaffolding board transport and storage pallet. Effect of the Invention

[0018] By applying the present invention, the effort and time required to transport scaffolding boards can be significantly reduced, and even scaffolding boards of different widths can be stored as a single group easily, safely, and attractively. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Below, a scaffolding board transport and storage pallet 100, which is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, will be described with reference to the attached drawings. Note that in order to make the drawings easier to understand, some parts are exaggerated in size and dimensions, and some parts do not necessarily match the actual product. In addition, each drawing should be viewed in the direction of the symbols, and the directions are expressed as up, down, left, right, front, and back based on the relevant directions.

[0021] <Configuration of scaffolding board transport and storage pallets> As shown in Fig. 1, a scaffolding board transport and storage pallet 100, which is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, is configured to be approximately rectangular in plan view, with base sections 102, 104, 106, and 108 arranged at its four corners. Each of the base sections 102, 104, 106, and 108 is configured so that a cargo collapse prevention pole 140 can be inserted and set upright (see Fig. 4). The lower part of each of the base sections 102, 104, 106, and 108 is configured to be tapered so that it widens toward the end, for the purpose of increasing stability, etc. Although not shown in the drawing, the bottom surface of each of the base sections 102, 104, 106, and 108 is provided with an insertion section into which the cargo collapse prevention pole 140 can be inserted.

[0022] Moreover, the base parts 102, 104, 106, and 108 at the four corners are connected to each other by a frame, forming a generally rectangular shape in a plan view. More specifically, the frame 110 connects the base part 102 to the base part 104. Similarly, the frame 112 connects the base part 106 to the base part 108. Similarly, the frame 114 connects the base part 104 to the base part 106. The frame 114 is configured in two stages, upper and lower, and is composed of two frames, an upper frame frame 114a and a lower frame frame 114b. Similarly, the frame 116 connects the base part 102 to the base part 108. The frame 116 is configured in two stages, upper and lower, and is composed of two frames, an upper frame frame 116a and a lower frame frame 116b.

[0023] A central frame 120 is fixed so as to span two opposing sides of the frame, specifically, approximately the centers of the frame frames 110 and 112. The frame on which the central frame 120 is installed, i.e., the frame frames 110 and 112, are positioned and fixed at a position higher than the bottom surfaces of the base parts 102, 104, 106, and 108 to an extent that the forks of a forklift can enter (see FIG. 2 in particular).

[0024] Further, in the middle of the central frame 120, there are provided two adjustment pole installation sections 130, 132 where an adjustment pole 150 (see FIG. 4) can be installed.

[0025] As a result, the two upper frame members 114a, 116a and the central frame 120 are positioned to be at the same height, and the frame frames 110 and 112 on which the central frame 120 is mounted are positioned to be one step lower than them.

[0026] Furthermore, the two lower frames 114b, 116b are positioned so as to be flush with the bottom surfaces of the base portions 102, 104, 106, and 108 (see FIG. 3).

[0027] <Actions and functions of scaffolding board transport and storage pallets> The rectangular scaffold board transport and storage pallet 100 has a fixed direction when used. The direction in which the upper and lower two-tiered frames 114, 116 are erected is the direction in which the scaffold boards are placed (see Figs. 5 to 8). On the other hand, the frame frames 110, 112 on the side that is not divided into two tiers functions as the side into which the forks of the forklift 50 are inserted; that is, the forks of the forklift 50 are inserted under the frame frames 110 and 112, and come into direct contact with these frame frames 110, 112 to lift up the entire pallet (see also Fig. 10).

[0028] Depending on the circumstances at the time, scaffolding boards of desired widths can be mixed and loaded on the scaffolding board transport and storage pallet 100. There are scaffolding boards of various standards on the market, but in recent years, the most common are scaffolding boards with widths of 500 mm, 400 mm, and 250 mm.

[0029] 5 shows a method of loading two 400 mm wide scaffold boards 10 and one 250 mm wide scaffold board 20 together. Although only one of each is shown in the drawing, the same type of scaffold board is stacked on top of these. In this case, the adjustment pole 150 is not used, and the boards are loaded using the full front-to-back width (approximately 1050 mm) of the scaffold board transport and storage pallet 100.

[0030] FIG. 6 shows a method of placing two scaffold boards 30 with a width of 500 mm. Although only one of each is drawn in the drawing, the same type of scaffold board is placed on top of them. In the case of two scaffold boards 30 with a width of 500 mm, the total is about 1000 mm, so there is a small amount of space left over in the front-to-back direction (about 1050 mm) of the scaffold board transport and storage pallet 100. If the boards are placed in this state, there is a high possibility that they will shift position during transportation and cause the load to collapse, so in order to fill this gap, an adjustment pole 150 is erected on the first adjustment pole erection section 130. This fills the gap between the scaffold board 30 to be placed and the scaffold board transport and storage pallet 100 in the front-to-back direction, making it possible to place the boards safely.

[0031] FIG. 7 shows a method of placing four scaffold boards 20 each having a width of 250 mm. Although only one of each is shown in the drawing, the same type of scaffold board is placed on top of them. In the case of four scaffold boards 20 each having a width of 250 mm, the total is about 1000 mm, so there is a small amount of space left over in the front-to-back direction (about 1050 mm) of the scaffold board transport and storage pallet 100. If the boards are placed in this state, there is a high possibility that they will shift position during transport and cause the load to collapse, so in order to fill this gap, an adjustment pole 150 is erected on the first adjustment pole erection section 130. This fills the gap between the scaffold board 20 to be placed and the scaffold board transport and storage pallet 100 in the front-to-back direction, making it possible to place the boards safely.

[0032] FIG. 8 shows a method of placing two scaffold boards 10 each having a width of 400 mm. Although only one of each is shown in the drawing, the same type of scaffold board is placed on top of them. In the case of two scaffold boards 10 each having a width of 400 mm, the total is about 800 mm, so there is a large gap in the front-rear direction (about 1050 mm) of the scaffold board transport and storage pallet 100. If the boards are placed in this state, there is a high possibility that the position will shift during transportation, etc., causing the load to collapse, so in order to fill this gap, an adjustment pole 150 is erected on the second adjustment pole erection portion 132. This fills the gap between the scaffold board 10 to be placed and the scaffold board transport and storage pallet 100 in the front-rear direction, making it possible to place the boards safely.

[0033] In this way, it is possible to freely combine and place scaffold boards of different widths according to the purpose. In the above embodiment, two adjustment pole stand parts 130 and 132 are provided, but more adjustment pole stand parts may be provided depending on the type of scaffold board to be placed.

[0034] Also, as shown in FIG. 9, the scaffolding board transport and storage pallets 100 on which the scaffolding boards are placed can be stored stacked one on top of the other.

[0035] As described in the above configuration, the present invention comprises base sections 102, 104, 106, 108 arranged at the four corners and on which a load-shift prevention pole 140 can be erected, frame frames 110, 112, 114, 116 configured to form a rectangle in a planar view by connecting the base sections 102, 104, 106, 108 at the four corners, and a central frame 120 fixed to span approximately the centers of two opposing sides of the frame frames (frame frame 110 and frame frame 112), the frame frames 110, 112 on the side on which the central frame 120 is erected are positioned at a position higher than the bottom surfaces of the base sections 102, 104, 106, 108 to a degree that the forks of a forklift 50 can enter, and the central frame 120 is characterized in that it is provided with adjustment pole erection sections 130, 132 in the middle thereof on which an adjustment pole 150 can be erected.

[0036] With this configuration, the pallet 100 can be transported by the forklift 50 with the scaffolding boards 10 to 30 placed on it, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the effort and time required to transport the scaffolding boards 10 to 30. Furthermore, by erecting the adjustment poles 150 on the adjustment pole erecting sections 130, 132 provided on the central frame 120 according to the width of the scaffolding boards to be placed, even scaffolding boards of different widths can be transported and stored together as one group.

[0037] In addition, since multiple adjustment pole erection sections 130, 132 are provided, it is possible to accommodate combinations of scaffolding boards of various widths.

[0038] In addition, the frame frames 114, 116 on the side on which the central frame 120 is not installed are configured in two levels, upper and lower, and the bottom surfaces of the lower level frame frames 114b, 116b are configured to be flush with the bottom surfaces of the base portions 102, 104, 106, and 108.

[0039] With this configuration, it becomes possible to place the entire pallet 100 on top of a stack of scaffolding boards (a group of scaffolding boards) that have been stacked and stored in the conventional manner, without using the scaffolding board transport and storage pallet 100 according to the present invention. That is, the lower frames 114b, 116b, which are configured to be flush with the bottom surfaces of the base sections 102, 104, 106, and 108, come into surface contact with the group of scaffolding boards that have already been stored, and act like timber, preventing damage to the group of scaffolding boards that have already been stored.

[0040] In addition, the bottom surfaces of the base portions 102, 104, 106, and 108 were provided with insertion portions into which the load-shift prevention poles 140 could be inserted.

[0041] With this configuration, it becomes possible to stack the scaffolding board transport / storage pallets 100 one above the other with the scaffolding boards 10 to 30 placed thereon via the cargo collapse prevention poles 140 (see FIG. 9).

[0042] Furthermore, the load-fall prevention poles 140 inserted into the base portions 102, 104, 106, and 108 have a height corresponding to the thickness of a specific number of the scaffolding boards 10 to 30 to be placed thereon.

[0043] With this configuration, for example, when a load-shift prevention pole 140 for stacking 20 boards (20 tiers) is inserted and used, the number (tiers) of scaffolding boards 10 to 30 currently stacked can be instantly ascertained based on how high the boards are stacked relative to the pole 140. Note that load-shift prevention poles 140 may be prepared in advance in multiple lengths, such as for 10 boards (10 tiers) and 20 boards (20 tiers).

[0044] Other configuration examples In the above, the cargo collapse prevention pole 140 and the adjustment pole 150 are described separately, but it is also possible to use the same pole for both purposes. [Explanation of symbols]
