Pallet Stacking System on a Structure, Pallet Rack or Similar, and Related Methods

A pallet stacking system on a structure comprising two sets of rotating levers and two axes of rotation, each axis of rotation corresponding to each set of rotating levers;

• the two axes of rotation being inserted in a structure and being parallel and at the same height between them, and at the same time the axes of rotation being arranged in the structure and separated by a distance and sufficient free space for the passage of a horizontally arranged pallet between them;
• the levers of each set of levers being distributed along the corresponding axis of rotation thereof and concentrically articulated about that same axis of rotation and having the capacity to freely rotate about that axis of rotation;
• the levers being made up of an upper section and a lower section relative to its point of articulation with its axis of rotation, and the upper section and the lower section being joined at the point of articulation of the lever to the axis of rotation;
• wherein the levers are arranged relative to the axis of rotation thereof and in the structure so that they have a rest position relative to the rotation capacity thereof, wherein in the rest position the levers of each set of levers have the upper section thereof oriented and directed towards the other respective set of levers that are articulated on the other axis of rotation;
• resulting in the levers in the rest position supported on the lower section thereof on the same structure, so that the upper sections of the levers are enabled at the same time to both receive and hold at least one pallet, transmitting the strain of its weight to the aforementioned support of the lower sections of the same levers in the structure;
• wherein the aforementioned rest position of the levers and the distance between the axes of rotation allows the upward passage of a horizontally arranged pallet, at the same time coming in contact with the upper section of the lever and pushing it, the levers being enabled so that the contact with and pushing of the same pallet with the upper section of the lever entails a rotation of the lever from its rest position when the pallet passes, and also being the same lever enabled so that after the upward passage of the pallet, the lever returns to its rest position, once again resulting in the lever being enabled to both hold at least one pallet while transmitting the strain of its weight to the aforementioned support of the lower sections of the same levers in the structure.
