Pallet formed from single sheet of metal - which is slit and pressed to define entries for forks of lift truck on all sides

摘要

The pallet is made from a single sheet of metal and has entries below the platform for the forks of a fork lift truck. Slits are initially made to define the width and developed length of the feet. A pressing or stamping operation then forms deep channels which define the feet (4). At the same time the width of the sheet is reduced in forming undulations (8) which constitute part of the platform of the pallet. The developed length of the undulations is the same as that of the feet.
