Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0368595A1] A moulded-plastics container-locating pallet (1), particularly for beer barrels, has an array of circular base frames (3a) with dependent and upstanding peripheral flanges (7) such that it can rest on one group of barrels and support a second group in a stack with the flanges providing positive location by engaging the rims of the barels. The base frames (3a) are spaced apart but interconnected by integrally-moulded strut members (10, 11) each comprising a strut (10a, 11a) connected to the frames (3a) by webs (12, 13) of the plastics material. The webs (12, 13) are L-sectioned with a flat horizontal portion (12) connected to a frame (3a) and a flat vertical portion (13) connected to a strut (10a or 11a). The connections between the webs (12) and the frames (3a) are formed as hinges to allow adjoining frames to pivot slightly relative to each other, out of a common plane, so as to accommodate barrels of slightly differing heights in a stack.
