US 2023/0373684 A1 · FRAME FOR PALLETS

Abstract

A height-adjustable frame (1) for a pallet (P) and for accommodating an insert (3) for goods has supports (2) including an upper element (6) and a lower element (7), which are connected to one another by means of a hinge (8). By means of the hinge (8), the lower element and the upper elements (6, 7) can be pivoted towards one another and away from one another. In a first position, the upper element and lower element (6, 7) have been moved towards one another and the support (2) forms a maximum height. In a second position, the lower element (7) has been pivoted away from the upper element (6), the support (2) forms a sub-height. A height adjustment makes it possible for goods of different sizes to be transported by means of an insert (3), which is fastened on the frame (1). The height adjustment is easy to achieve and allows goods to be transported using inserts (3) of different depths and also allows empty transportation with a smaller volume. The frame (1) is stackable and can be transported by means of pallet containers or twin-wall sheets.
