Abstract
An aircraft pallet is equipped with one or two telescoped pilot plates delineating maximum actual load overhang, to be not more than the roller track can handle.
Claims6
An aircraft pallet having a main load-bearing portion for use with overhanging loads extending beyond the boundaries of the load-bearing portion and for further use on a roller track which includes sensing means for detecting such overhung loads that extend beyond the pallet, the improvement of at least one flat pilot plate being separate from and not a part of the load-bearing portion and being attachable to said portion in approximate alignment with the pallet bottom and extending beyond a side, a front, or a rear end of the pallet to simulate a larger extension and dimension of the pallet for cooperation with the sensing means.
