Pallet, a transport device, and system for transporting goods

A transport device, comprising

• a chassis comprising at least one axle, which defines a plane of the chassis and a direction of length for the chassis,
• a bed comprising
• a first side beam at a first side of the bed and
• a second side beam at a second side of the bed, the second side of the bed being opposite the first side of the bed, wherein the first side beam and the second side beam define a plane of the bed, wherein
• the first side beam and the second side beam define a front end of the bed and a rear end of the bed, the front end of the bed and the rear end the bed being arranged a length of the bed apart from each other,
• from the front end, the first side beam and the second side beam run in the same direction towards the rear end for a distance that is at least a half of the length of the bed, and
• from the rear end, the first side beam and the second side beam run in such a way that a distance between the first side beam and the second side beam increases towards the front end, the transport device comprising
• a first articulation for turning the bed relative to the chassis about an axle that is unidirectional with a normal of the plane of the bed or unidirectional with a normal of the plane of the chassis,
• a second articulation for turning the bed relative to the chassis about an axis that is unidirectional with a width of the bed or unidirectional with a width of the chassis,
• a third articulation for turning the bed relative to the chassis about an axis that is unidirectional with the direction of length for the bed or that is unidirectional with a direction of length for the chassis, and
• a loading and unloading arrangement for loading a pallet onto the bed from the rear end and for unloading a pallet from the bed.

A system for transporting goods, the system comprising:

• a pallet comprising
• a frame having a primary side part and secondary side part, which is opposite to the primary side part, the frame defining a front end of the pallet, a rear end of the pallet, and a plane of the pallet such that the pallet is configured to receive goods on a first side of the plane of the pallet, a rod that extends from the primary side part to the secondary side part, wherein a distance between the rod and the front end is at most one fourth of a length of the pallet, wherein the length of the pallet extends from the front end to the rear end,
• a primary foot arrangement at the primary side part, the primary foot arrangement comprising a first part of the primary foot arrangement and a second part of the primary foot arrangement, wherein
• the first part of the primary foot arrangement protrudes in the direction of normal of the plane of the pallet on a second side of the plane of the pallet, which second side of the plane of the pallet is opposite to the first side of the plane of the pallet,
• a distance between the first part of the primary foot arrangement and the front end is at most 20% of the length of the pallet,
• the second part of the primary foot arrangement protrudes in the direction of normal of the plane of the pallet on the second side of the plane of the pallet, and
• a distance between the second part of the primary foot arrangement and the front end is from 30% to 70% of the length of the pallet and
• a secondary foot arrangement at the secondary side part, the secondary foot arrangement comprising a first part of the secondary foot arrangement and a second part of the secondary foot arrangement, wherein
• the first part of the secondary foot arrangement protrudes in the direction of normal of the plane of the pallet on the second side of the plane of the pallet,
• a distance between the first part of the secondary foot arrangement and the front end is at most 20% of the length of the pallet,
• the second part of the secondary foot arrangement protrudes in the direction of normal of the plane of the pallet on the second side of the plane of the pallet, and
• a distance between the second part of the secondary foot arrangement and the front end is from 30% to 70% of the length of the pallet, wherein
• the rod has a length,
• a span of the rod is at least half of the length of the rod, and
• an object that encircles the rod can be freely moved in the direction of length of the rod for the span, whereby
• when loading the pallet by pulling from the rod, a grabbing means is movable relative to the rod in the direction of the rod;
• and
• a transport device comprising
• a chassis comprising at least one axle, which defines a plane of the chassis and a direction of length for the chassis,
• a bed comprising
• a first side beam at a first side of the bed and
• a second side beam at a second side of the bed, the second side of the bed being opposite the first side of the bed, wherein the first side beam and the second side beam define a plane of the bed, wherein
• the first side beam and the second side beam define a front end of the bed and a rear end of the bed, the front end of the bed and the rear end the bed being arranged a length of the bed apart from each other,
• from the front end, the first side beam and the second side beam run in the same direction towards the rear end for a distance that is at least a half of the length of the bed, and
• from the rear end, the first side beam and the second side beam run in such a way that a distance between the first side beam and the second side beam increases towards the front end, the transport device comprising
• a first articulation for turning the bed relative to the chassis about an axle that is unidirectional with a normal of the plane of the bed or unidirectional with a normal of the plane of the chassis,
• a second articulation for turning the bed relative to the chassis about an axis that is unidirectional with a width of the bed or unidirectional with a width of the chassis,
• a third articulation for turning the bed relative to the chassis about an axis that is unidirectional with the direction of length for the bed or that is unidirectional with a direction of length for the chassis, and
• a loading and unloading arrangement for loading a pallet onto the bed from the rear end and for unloading a pallet from the bed.
