Pallet container

A pallet container for storing and transporting fluid or flowable filling materials, the pallet container comprising:

• a thin-walled, rigid plastics inner container made from thermoplastic plastics material;
• a tubular grid frame which tightly surrounds the plastics inner container as a supporting covering and which comprises horizontal and vertical tubular rods which are welded to each other;
• and
• a base pallet on which the plastics inner container is positioned and to which the tubular grid frame is securely connected,
• wherein two rod-shaped transverse cross-members are provided above the plastics inner container and are fixed with two ends thereof via a screw connection by means of threaded screws to two mutually opposite side walls in an upper region of the tubular grid frame,
• wherein the transverse cross-members are screwed at their fastening points on an end face of their two ends against two mutually opposite tubular rods in the upper region of the tubular grid frame and the threaded screws axially lead into the ends of the transverse cross-members,
• wherein the two ends of the transverse cross-members are strongly compressed and an internal thread is directly formed in resulting compressed portions,
• wherein the transverse cross-members are releasably screwed to an upper horizontal or vertical tubular rod of the tubular grid frame by the threaded screws screwed in at the end face.

• wherein the transverse cross-members which are screwed-in in a flattened region of the vertical tubular rods each have a curve bent in a horizontal plane,
• wherein the transverse cross-members are positioned flat on a top of the plastics inner container and the curves of the two transverse cross-members are orientated so as to be directed away from each other.
