Composite pallet for the transport and long-term storage of barrels

A composite pallet for the transport and long-term storage of barrels, comprising:

• a base element made of plastic with a base element top side, a base element under side and base element support projections formed projecting from the base element top side,
• a deck element made of plastic with a deck element top side, on which a deck for storing the barrels is formed, a deck element under side and deck element support projections formed projecting from the deck element under side, which lie on the base element support projections or are connected thereto, whereby the deck element is supported against the base element, and the deck element under side is at a distance from the base element top side,
• at least one depositing area for holding a vertical barrel,
• at least one barrel comprising a barrel base and rims at a top and a bottom of said barrel;
• several first support inserts made of a material with a creep modulus which is higher over a predefined period than a creep modulus of plastic, and a decrease in which is lower than that of plastic over the predefined period, which are inserted into support element holders formed on the deck element under side and on the base element top side, and which are connected to the support element holders by friction locking or positive locking,
• wherein the first support inserts are arranged in support areas, which are at least partially located underneath the at least one depositing area;
• wherein the first support inserts have support insert top sides on which a barrel can be stored in a depositing area of at least one depositing area,
• the first support inserts have support insert under sides, with which the composite pallet can be stored on a base or on rims of barrels,
• whereby the first support inserts are configured to absorb a load of a barrel deposited in the depositing area and ensure its long-term stable storage independently of any plastic layer located between the first support inserts and a barrel base.
