The stacking board is designed as a stackable pallet (1). This exhibits on its underside, on opposite side borders (1a, 1b), in each case two hollow feet (2) and in each case two hollow latching protuberances (4, 5) with a smaller engagement depth than that of the feet. The feet (2, 3) on each longitudinal border of the pallet are located opposite the hollow latching protuberances (4, 5) on the other longitudinal border. In this manner, when a plurality of pallets are stacked one upon the other, depending on the orientation of the pallets, a tightly packed storage stack can be produced. In the case of this storage stack, the feet of the pallet placed on top are sunk into the hollow feet of the pallet located thereabove. Alternatively, a working stack can be produced, in which case the feet of a pallet placed on top engage into the hollow latching protuberances of the pallet located therebeneath. Thus, adjacent pallets are spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance.
A stacking board for depositing a stack of sheets, wherein the stacking board is designed as a stackable pallet having a carrying panel and having at least two sets of lateral support elements on surfaces and on opposite lateral borders of the pallet, said at least first set of lateral support elements are two hollow feet with a predetermined engagement step for inserting the hollow feet of another pallet and said at least second set of lateral support elements are two hollow latching protuberances with a smaller engagement step than said predetermined engagement step, and wherein the hollow feet on said one side border of the pallet are located opposite the hollow latching protuberances on said opposite side border of the pallet and are designed such that, when pallets are stacked one upon another, depending on an orientation of said pallets, either a closely packed non sheet stacking storage stack of pallets can be produced, whereby the hollow feet of one pallet engage the hollow feet of the pallet located therebeneath on said one side border and the latching protuberances of one pallet engage the latching protuberances of the pallet therebeneath on said opposite side border, or a working stack of pallets can be produced that allows sheets to be stacked on each said pallet therebetween, whereby the hollow feet of one pallet engage the latching protuberances of a pallet therebeneath on both side borders of the pallets.
A stacking board for depositing a stack of sheets, wherein the stacking board is designed as a stackable pallet having a rectangular carrying panel and having lateral support elements on two opposite sides of the pallet, said support elements comprise three downwardly directed lower walls arranged on three sides of the rectangular carrying panel, and a fourth, upwardly directed upper wall arranged on the fourth side of the carrying panel, and wherein the two lower walls, which are located on the sides running at right angles with respect to the upper wall, run obliquely outwards, such that in a working stack of pallets carrying stack of sheets, the one upper wall and the three lower walls of each pallet are aligned to match with the corresponding one upper wall and corresponding three lower walls of each adjacent pallet in the stack, whereby, the upper wall of one pallet engages between the two lower obliquely running walls of the pallet located thereabove, and when the pallets are empty and being stored in a storage stack, adjacent pallets are located in a closely fitting manner one upon the other such that they are offset in each case by the thickness of the upper wall, and the two lower obliquely running walls of one pallet overlap the two lower obliquely running walls of the pallet located therebeneath.
