Abstract

Roller rail for transporting pallets, in particular europallets, having an opening profiled supporting profile part with a bottom, opposite side walls and a bottom opposite end wall and at least two rollers, wherein the side walls to each other and the bottom and the end wall are far apart from each other that they can accommodate between them a bottom edge board of the pallet, wherein the bottom edge board is removably insertable via the opening in the support profile part.

Description

The The invention relates to a roller rail for transporting pallets, in particular europallets.

Euro pallets are standardized pallets that cross over from all four sides Forklift or the like can be picked up and transported. The pallets can also be transported on a trolley to be put on, which consists of a rectangular frame construction with wheels. To load pallets on one To be able to place wagons requires a forklift truck.

From the CH 691 178 A5 It is known to bring four rails, each with a role in the spaces between adjacent floorboards, so that the pallet sits on the two roller rails and can be moved.

task The invention relates to a roller rail for transporting pallets, but especially of europallets, to create, easy and safe the pallets can be releasably secured.

These The task is performed by a roller rail for transporting pallets, In particular, Euro pallets, solved, the one opening having Tragprofilteil with a bottom, opposite side walls and an end wall opposite the floor and has at least two roles. The side walls and the Floor and the end wall are so far apart, that they can pick up a bottom edge board of the pallet between them, with the bottom edge board over the opening in the Support profile is removable usable.

at the roller rail according to the invention is the positioning the same on the pallet significantly improved. The supporting profile part is in fact provided with four walls, also an upper end wall opposite the ground. The support profile part is thus on a bottom edge board in all four Secured directions, but at the same time solvable, the means removable, attached. For this purpose, the support profile part provided with an opening, so that the roller rail at lifted pallet simply on the assigned ground edge board is pluggable. Should the euro pallet, which is on two roller rails is later raised again, so remain the Roller rails attached securely. In addition, disturb the roller rails also when receiving by a forklift in no way and can not by the same Lifting up will be damaged as they will not pick up any load and also not be touched when lifting from the forks.

One significant advantage of the roller rail according to the invention is also that no forklift is necessary to the Setting up pallets on the roller rails is a simple pallet truck sufficient, which raises the range about 10 cm.

Preferably corresponds to the distance of the side walls approximately the width of a bottom edge board. He should not be smaller, but slightly larger than the width of the Bottom edge boards so that no jamming of the roller rail on the Bottom edge board can be done.

A Another embodiment of the invention provides that a the side walls higher than the opposite Sidewall is. At the lower side wall can be form a lateral opening over which the Roller rail to be pushed laterally on the bottom edge board can.

The End wall preferably has at least one recess for receiving of a pallet block. The roller rail is thus not only between the adjacent pallet blocks, but also can extend below it. Leaves over the recess possibly also the roller rail in the longitudinal direction Position on the palette so that they are excluded in the longitudinal direction clearly opposite the pallet can be moved.

Especially the recess is arranged so that it is the middle pallet block receives. This makes it possible that only one roller rail is provided per bottom edge board, because the roller rail can be over the middle, ie the middle pallet block extend on both sides of the pallet.

preferably, is the opening over which the roller rail with their support profile part can be placed on the bottom edge board, a lateral opening.

These lateral opening can be formed by a Sidewall and the end wall are spaced apart. The opening is, as I said, so big that the bottom edge board over it can be inserted into the supporting profile.

Preferably go the floor, the side walls and the end wall in one piece over each other to make the manufacturing too facilitate and increase the stability of the support profile part.

The Supporting profile part is in particular made of metal, for example a formed Sheet metal, made.

To move the pallet in all directions ren, at least two casters should be arranged on the underside of the bottom of the support profile part.

The Positioning of the roller rail on the pallet is thereby improved that the end wall is formed so that they are on the inner sides of two Corner blocks of the pallet adjoins. This embodiment sees a longitudinal positioning of the roller rail to the pallet through the ends of the end wall.

About that In addition, the invention relates to an assembly consisting of a Pallet and two roller rails according to the invention, each hung on either side of the pallet on the bottom edge boards are, with the bottom edge boards on the associated floors sit the support profile parts. This module stands out a high stability and easy transportability but beyond that she is very safe, for example against tilting.

The Pallet is in the horizontal plane preferably in all directions by stops positively on the roller rails held.

The Roller rails are without separate fasteners on the bottom edge boards non-destructively detachable. clamping means or the like are not necessary.

The Roller rail according to the invention and the invention Assembly are with all euro pallet systems, even with the new ones Euro pallet systems EUR2, 3 and 6 and similarly designed Pallets usable, the bottom edge boards and pallet blocks exhibit.

Further Features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following Description and from the following drawings, to the reference is taken. In the drawings show:

1 a perspective view of a roller rail according to the invention;

2 a plan view of the roller rail according to the invention 1 ;

3 a front view of the roller rail after 1 ; and

4 a perspective view of an assembly according to the invention.

In 1 is a roller rail for transporting a pallet, in particular a Euro pallet P (see 2 ). The roller rail 2 consists essentially of a support profile part 4 which is formed by a formed sheet metal.

The supporting profile part 4 includes a floor 6 , two from the ground 6 outgoing side walls 8th . 10 , which in particular run parallel to each other, as well as an end wall 12 , The end wall 12 lies the ground 6 spaced apart, in particular, it runs parallel to the ground 6 ,

As in 3 can be seen, is the sidewall 8th less high than the sidewall 10 , which with the end wall 12 is integrally connected.

According to the preferred embodiment, the end wall 12 a smaller width (see 3 ) as the ground 6 , so due to the lower height of the side wall 8th and the smaller width of the end wall 12 compared to the sidewall 10 or the ground 6 a side opening 14 results.

In the 1 and 2 In addition, it can be seen that the end wall 12 , here in the middle, a recess 16 that even extends to the side wall 10 enough.

The length of this recess 16 is designed so that it has a middle pallet block of a Euro pallet P (see 4 ).

Below the supporting profile part 4 are at least two roles 20 , which are preferably designed as rotatable by 360 ° casters mounted.

The roller rail 2 is tailored to the dimensions of a pallet, in particular a Euro pallet.

The classic Euro pallet P is in 4 shown. In addition to the upper transport level, which consists of transverse and longitudinal boards, the Euro pallet has four pallet corner blocks 22 and between the Eckklötzen middle pallet blocks 18 , So-called bottom edge boards 24 are under the pallet blocks 18 . 22 attached to this. In the classic Euro pallet are only on the long sides bottom edge boards 24 attached. In addition, there are also Euro pallets, where the bottom edge boards are additionally attached to the transverse sides or only on the transverse sides (EUR2 or EUR6 europallets).

The side walls 8th . 10 have a distance that is slightly larger (preferably 5 to 10 mm larger) than the width of the bottom edge boards 24 is.

The distance from ground 6 and end wall 12 is greater than the thickness of a bottom edge board 24 , preferably by a factor of 1.5 to 2.

The height of the side wall 8th is preferred we at least the thickness of a bottom edge board 24 ,

The vertical height of the opening 14 Again, it is preferably larger than the thickness of the bottom edge board 24 , The distance x between the edges of the side wall 8th and the end wall 12 and thus the clear width of the opening 14 should be chosen so that they are less than the width of a bottom edge board 24 is.

These dimensions are chosen so that a roller rail, after the pallet has been lifted, for example by means of a lift truck, laterally on a bottom edge board 24 can be deferred so that the bottom edge board 24 in the supporting profile part 4 is included. The roller rail 2 falls due to the width of the end wall 12 that goes beyond the middle of the roller rail (see 3 ), not from the bottom edge board 24 so that a transport-safe assembly according to 4 results. Even after weaning and re-lifting of the assembly, the roller rail remains securely on the pallet and can still be easily removed from the side again without destroying the pallet or roller rail 2 he follows.

The roller rail 2 is held in all directions in the horizontal plane by stops (walls and floors) form-fitting to the pallet.

In the preferred embodiment, the length of the end wall is 12 chosen so that it is slightly smaller than the inner distance of the associated Paletteneckklötze 22 is. This can be the end wall 12 at the pallet corner pieces 22 strike at longitudinal displacement. Alternatively, positioning in the longitudinal direction is also via the recess 16 possible.

In the embodiment shown, the length of the floor is 6 for manufacturing reasons the length of the end wall 12 executed accordingly. Alternatively, the floor can 6 however, be longer so the roles 20 under the corner blocks 22 to come to rest. This will put the load on the bottom edge board 24 reduced.
