<p>A pallet is constructed in the nature of a slip-sheet for the support and transport of bulk-bags. The pallet (1) is fabricated from semi-rigid plastic sheet to have a base (2) supporting lift tine engagement elements (3) standing proud of an obverse face. Preferably two engagement elements (3) are provided. The elements (3) may be moulded from the material of the base (2) or formed by separate elements (3) attached to the base (2). At one end a flap (2a) may be provided on the base (2) to extend beyond the associated end opening (4a) of the elements (3). The extension flap (2a) may be formed by an integral part of the base or by a separate projecting tab (10) affixed to the base (2). A fold line (9) can be formed to delineate the extension (2a) from the base (2) and facilitate the upward folding thereof. A bulk-bag charged with granulated, powdered or similar material seated on the pallet (1) will settle over the elements (3) tending to locate it thereon. The pallet (1) can be moved either by inserting lifting means into the elements (3), or where provided gripping the extension (2a) and sliding.</p> |
