Abstract
A pallet container includes a bottom, side walls that extend from the bottom upwards, widening conically and/or in stages, towards a peripheral container edge, and skids that allow a fork of a forklift truck or other industrial truck to be inserted. The bottom and the side walls are shaped such that the pallet container can be nested in an identical pallet container oriented the same way and can be stacked on an identical pallet container that has been rotated relative to the pallet container by 180° only in relation to a vertical axis. The outer contour of the skids aligns with the outer contour of the side walls.
Claims15
A pallet container comprising:
- a bottom;
- side walls that extend upwards from the bottom towards a circumferential container rim in a conical and/or stepped manner;
- and
- skids each having at least two engagement openings that allow engagement of a fork of a lift truck or other industrial truck under the bottom,
- the bottom and the side walls of the pallet container being shaped in such a way that the pallet container is nestable in an identically constructed pallet container having an orientation that is either identical to an orientation of the pallet container or is rotated 180° relative to the orientation of the pallet container with respect to a vertical axis,
- the skids comprising an outer contour that follows an outer contour of the side walls.
