A pick-up means for roller pallets in such applications where the roller pallets (1) run on rails (2) on tracks (3). At the discharge end of the tracks there is a stop (4) preventing the discharge of roller pallets until a pick-up means (6) provided with a travelling surface (5) comes to get the roller pallets meant to be dispatched. The pick-up means of the invention is characterized in that it comprises a slide (8) movable in its longitudinal direction and provided with a transporter (7), said slide being at a pick-up operation movable in under the first roller pallet (1) on the rails (2), while at the same time it will disengage the stop (4) so that the roller pallet moves onto the travelling surface (5) of the pick-up means, being pulled by the slide (8). The pick-up operation is now accomplished with considerably greater safety and speed than with any apparatus of prior art.
A pick-up means for roller pallets which run on rails and having at their discharge end a stop means which prevents discharging a roller pallet until engaged by a pick-up means provided with a travelling surface comes to get the roller pallet, wherein the improvement comprises that the stop means is pivotably attached to one of the rails, and the pick-up means includes a slide movable in its longitudinal direction and provided with a transporter, said slide having a downwardly directed guide slot located at its forward end adjacent the transporter, means on said stop means for engagement with the downwardly directed guide slot, the slide being movable in under the roller pallet standing first on the rails, while at the same time the downwardly directed guide slot disengages the pivotable stop, so that the roller pallet can be moved onto the travelling surface of the pick-up means without any tilting while being pulled by the transporter on the slide.
A pick-up means for roller pallets which run on rails, comprising:
