More Information
Summary:A modular pallet 10 comprises a pair of cushion bars (12,14), and a pair of spaced sub-frames (22,24), each having a horizontal support surface (26,38) with a pair of slots (34,36 and 50,52) in its front or rear edge, the sub-frames also having vertical supports (30,32,44,46) parallel to the cushion bars 12,14. In use, an object (58) to be carried is bolted by bolts passing through weldnuts (64) in its floor and through the slots (34,36,50,52) into threaded apertures in the cushion bars (12,14); the pallet (10) is taken by a pallet trolley to a required position, the bolts undone, and the cushion bars (12,14) removed. The trolley then lowers the remaining sub-frames (22,24) of the pallet and is removed. Jacking studs (62) are inserted in the weldnuts (64) to raise the object (58) from the sub-frames (22,24), which are then removed by sliding so that the slots (34,36,50,52) slide with respect to the jacking studs (62). The object is then lowered on the jacking studs. The pallet (10) is suitable for the installation off heavy apparatus such as self-service terminals or automated teller machines (ATMs).
