Abstract
Lifting device for pallet goods for loading and unloading of a transport pallet such as a standard pallet, for example a euro pallet. The lifting device comprises a support frame, a tine assembly liftable mounted to the support frame of at least two, preferably four, tines having a parallel direction of extension for lifting and receiving the transport goods from the transport pallet and/or for depositing the transport goods onto the transport pallet. A tine spacing of two tines is adapted to a gap spacing of two longitudinal gaps and at least two tines are form-fitted with regard to the at least two longitudinal gaps such that they can access the longitudinal gaps in the longitudinal direction.
Claims22
A lifting device for loading and unloading of transport or pallet goods onto and from a transport pallet, the pallet including a support structure forming lateral access clearances and a rest forming an upper side on which the respective transport or pallet goods is to be deposited and which includes a plurality of longitudinal panels spaced apart from each other by forming at least two longitudinal gaps arranged parallel to each other, wherein the at least two longitudinal gaps are open to the upper side of the pallet, the lifting device comprising:
- a support frame;
- a tine assembly that is liftably mounted on the support frame and includes at least two tines extending parallel to each other and in a longitudinal direction, the at least two tines being configured to receive and lift the transport or pallet goods from the transport pallet or to deposit the transport or pallet goods on the transport pallet;
- and
- a chassis having laterally extending legs that are rigidly connected to each other via a crossbar, and at least two wheels arranged at respective legs of the laterally extending legs, the at least two wheels including a left side wheel and a right side wheel, the laterally extending legs and the at least two wheels being spaced apart from each other at a distance perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the laterally extending legs and the at least two wheels being configured to pass parallel to longitudinal sides of the pallet that extend in the longitudinal direction upon a rolling motion of the chassis in the longitudinal direction while the at least two tines are engaged with the at least two longitudinal gaps and at least part of the pallet is located between the left side wheel and right side wheel,
- wherein the crossbar is configured to pass over the upper side of the pallet upon the rolling motion of the chassis in the longitudinal direction while the pallet is located between the left side wheel and right side wheel, and
- wherein a tine spacing of the at least two tines is configured to a gap spacing of the at least two longitudinal gaps, and the at least two tines are configured to be form-fitted with regard to the at least two longitudinal gaps such that they can access the at least two longitudinal gaps in the longitudinal direction.
A lifting system comprising:
- a transport pallet configured to support transport or pallet goods, the transport pallet including a support structure forming lateral access clearances and a rest forming an upper side configured to support the transport or pallet goods deposited thereon, the rest having at least two longitudinal gaps arranged parallel to each other and formed by longitudinal panels of the rest that are spaced apart from each other, wherein the at least two longitudinal gaps are open to the upper side of the transport pallet;
- and
- a lifting device configured to load and unload the transport or pallet goods onto and from the transport pallet, the lifting device including:
- a support frame;
- a tine assembly that is liftably mounted on the support frame and includes at least two tines extending parallel to each other and in a longitudinal direction, the at least two tines being configured to receive and lift the transport or pallet goods from the transport pallet or to deposit the transport or pallet goods on the transport pallet, wherein a tine spacing of the at least two tines is configured to a gap spacing of the at least two longitudinal gaps, and the at least two tines are form-fitted to the at least two longitudinal gaps such that the at least two tines can access the at least two longitudinal gaps in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- a chassis having laterally extending legs that are rigidly connected to each other via a crossbar, and at least two wheels arranged at respective legs of the laterally extending legs, the at least two wheels including a left side while and a right side wheel, the laterally extending legs and the at least two wheels being spaced apart from each other at a distance perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the laterally extening legs and the at least two wheels being configured to pass parallel to longitudinal sides of the transport pallet that extend in the longitudinal direction upon a rolling motion of the chassis in the longitudinal direction while the at least two tines are engaged with the at least two longitudinal gaps and at least part of the transport pallet is located between the left side wheel and right side wheel,
- wherein the crossbar is configured to pass over the upper side of the pallet upon the rolling motion of the chassis in the longitudinal direction while the pallet is located between the left side wheel and right side wheel.
A lifting device for loading and unloading of transport or pallet goods onto and from a transport pallet, the pallet including a support structure forming lateral access clearances and a rest forming an upper side on which the respective transport or pallet goods is to be deposited and which includes a plurality of longitudinal panels spaced apart from each other by forming at least two longitudinal gaps arranged parallel to each other and extending in a longitudinal direction, wherein the at least two longitudinal gaps are open to the upper side of the pallet, the lifting device comprising:
- a support frame including a plurality of side portions spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the side portions being connected to each other by a frame crossbar that extends in the lateral direction to form a cavity between the plurality of side portions;
- a tine assembly that is liftably mounted to the support frame and includes at least two tines extending parallel to each other and in the longitudinal direction, the at least two tines being configured to receive and lift the transport or pallet goods from the transport pallet or to deposit the transport or pallet goods on the transport pallet, wherein the support frame is configured to receive and support, in the cavity formed between the plurality of side portions, the transport or pallet goods disposed on the at least two tines;
- and
- a chassis having laterally extending legs that are rigidly connected to each other via a crossbar, and at least two wheels arranged at respective legs of the laterally extending legs, the at least two wheels including a left side wheel and a right side wheel, the laterally extending legs and the at least two wheels being spaced apart from each other at a distance in the lateral direction, the laterally extening legs and the at least two wheels being configured to pass parallel to longitudinal sides of the pallet that extend in the longitudinal direction upon a rolling motion of the chassis in the longitudinal direction while the at least two tines are engaged with the at least two longitudinal gaps and at least part of the pallet is located between the left side wheel and right side wheel,
- wherein the crossbar is configured to pass over the upper side of the pallet upon the rolling motion of the chassis in the longitudinal direction while the pallet is located between the left side wheel and right side wheel, and
- wherein a tine spacing of the at least two tines is configured to a gap spacing of the at least two longitudinal gaps, and the at least two tines are configured to be form-fitted with regard to the at least two longitudinal gaps such that they can access the at least two longitudinal gaps in the longitudinal direction.
