摘要 |
The invention relates to a pallet container (10) comprising: a thin-walled inner container (12) made of thermoplastic material for storing and transporting liquid or free-flowing products; a lattice tube frame (14), whi ch closely surrounds the plastic container (12) in the form of a supporting cag e and which consists of vertical and horizontal tubular rods (20, 22) that are welded to one another, and; a base pallet (16) upon which the plastic container (12) rests and to which the lattice tube frame (14) is joined in a fixed manner. Prior art pallet containers have shortcomings with regard to strength (tubular rod fatigue failure) that are considerable in the event of longer lasting shaking during transport that involves dynamic cyclic stresse s. In order to improve the lattice tube frame durability while maintaining sufficient stacking load-bearing capacity, the invention achieves an adapted optimal elasticity for dynamic alternating loads. This is realized by virtue of the fact that the tubular rods (20, 22) with a closed tubular profile hav e a varying tubular profile height, which is discontinuously higher in the intersection areas and continuously lower between the intersection areas.</S DOAB>
