Pallet cages

For a goods pallet comprising at least two parallel bearers with battens fixed to opposite top and bottom edges of the bearers and lying transverse to the bearers, the battens fixed to the bottom bearer edges being pallet support battens and the battens fixed to the top bearer edges being load support battens with two of the load support battens constituting parallel cage securing battens;

• a pallet cage locking panel comprising a pair of uprights joined by top and bottom rails, to define a substantially rectangular frame, a pair of clips on the bottom rail each clip comprising a leg with a hooked end, the clip legs extend in the same direction away from the panel and the hooked ends extend in opposite directions from outer edges of the legs;
• the spacing between the hooked end of the clips and the rail bottom in a direction parallel to the plane of the panel being not less than the thickness of the cage securing batten;
• the distance between the outer edges of the legs being not greater than the distance between the cage securing battens;
• the overall distance between the ends of the hooked ends of the clips exceeding the distance between the cage securing battens but not exceeding the diagonal distance between the intersections of the cage securing battens with adjacent bearers.
