An improved push back pallet racking for loading and unloading pallets in which parallel channels inclining upward and rearward from a front of the rack on which pallets are stored are joined along their length and have longitudinal grooves, convex within each channel, to provide a lateral bumper guide(s) and a track on which carrier rails to support a pallet are mounted with rollers having concave rolling surfaces to roll on the track and are adapted with self-righting rolling surfaces.
A push back pallet racking for loading and unloading pallets characterized by at least one loading and unloading mechanism that includes a matching set of units in which each said unit comprises:
a plurality of parallel channels longitudinally inclining upward and rearward from a front of the rack said channels being of a length sufficient to store a plurality of pallet loads wherein each said channel is joined along its length to an adjacent channel and has a bottom and first and second sides, is generally U-shaped in cross section, has along at least one side thereof at least one longitudinal groove being convex within said channel to provide a lateral bumper guide, and has a track formed within the bottom of the channel by a longitudinal groove convex within the channel;
This invention relates to a pallet racking which may be used to store pallets of goods in a warehouse. In particular, the invention relates to an improved construction of an inclined push back pallet rack having a plurality of tracks supporting carrier rails at different heights in which the uppermost exposed carrier rails receive a pallet and are pushed by a next loaded pallet to roll on the tracks into the pallet rack to permit successive loading of pallets from the front of the pallet rack or, by reverse procedure, the unloading of same.
The present invention is directed to a push back pallet racking for loading and unloading pallets. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved push back pallet loading system in which a plurality of carrier rails move on tracks located within parallel channels. The carrier rails are maintained, in pairs or other appropriate sets, at different heights to permit successive loading of pallets utilizing the conventional push back method. The invention is characterized by loading and unloading mechanisms that each include a matching set of units in which each unit comprises groups of parts. One group of parts comprises a plurality of parallel channels longitudinally inclining upward and rearward from a front of the rack. The channels are of a length sufficient to store a plurality of pallet loads.
Each channel is joined along its length to an adjacent channel to unify the structure of the channels to provide greater stability at minimal cost. In a preferred means of linking the channels, which is discussed in more detail later, an overlapping flange extending along the length of a first side of each channel is bent over upon itself to create a gap into which a portion of a second side of the next adjacent channel may be fitted and secured.he pallet racking of claim 2 in which one or more sweepers are attached to an axle of a roller of a carrier rail to sweep the track as the rollers move along the track.
