Abstract
A novel logistics system (1000) featuring a load carrier (100) and a cooperating superstructure (200) is proposed for transporting parcels. The load carrier has a deck (110) with a top load carrying surface (111) and a flank (112). The load carrier also has a plurality of locking protuberances (114) that extend from and are arranged spaced apart from one another on the load carrying surface (111) of the deck (110). The superstructure is a merchandising unit that is made of sheet material. The superstructure has first section (230) which is configured to extend from the load carrying surface (111) of the load carrier (100). The superstructure also has a plurality of receptive cavities (221) for receiving the respective plurality of locking protuberances (114) of the load carrier (100).
Claims19
A logistics system comprising:
- a load carrier comprising:
- a deck defining an outermost periphery and comprising a top load carrying surface and a flank,
- a plurality of locking protuberances extending from and being arranged spaced apart from one another on the load carrying surface of the deck, and
- a superstructure, which is a merchandising unit made of sheet material and configured to be attached to the load carrier at the outermost periphery, and comprising:
- a first section configured to extend from the load carrying surface of the load carrier, and
- a plurality of receptive cavities for receiving the respective plurality of locking protuberances of the load carrier.
A load carrier comprising:
- a deck comprising a top load carrying surface,
- a plurality of locking protuberances extending from and being arranged spaced apart from one another on the load carrying surface of the deck, and
- a slot on the load carrier so as to receive and hold a cooperating tab of a cooperating superstructure for providing vertical locking,
- wherein the load carrier is configured to receive a superstructure, which is a merchandising unit, and which is configured to be attached to a load carrier and comprises:
- a first section configured to extend from the periphery of the load carrying surface of the load carrier,
- a second section extending orthogonally from the first section so as to extend along the load carrying surface of the load carrier, the second section comprising a plurality of cavities for receiving the respective plurality of locking protuberances of the load carrier, and
- a tab configured to be inserted into the respective slot on the flank of the load carrier.
A superstructure, which is a merchandising unit that is made of sheet material and which superstructure is configured to be attached to a load carrier and comprises:
- a first section configured to extend from the periphery of the load carrying surface of the load carrier,
- a second section extending from the first section so as to extend along the load carrying surface of the load carrier, the second section comprising a plurality of cavities for receiving respective ones of a plurality of locking protuberances of the load carrier, and
- a tab configured to be inserted into a respective slot on the flank of the load carrier.
