Abstract (en)

A rapidly reconfigurable pallet for safe transport of stacks of sheet-metal blanks comprises a base structure (2) with a plurality of cross members (T) that define a resting surface for the stack of sheet-metal blanks that is raised with respect to the top surface of the base structure (2). Associated to the base structure are auxiliary longitudinal beams (S), the top walls of which are in a lower position with respect to the aforesaid resting surface defined by the cross members (T). Said cross members (T) and said auxiliary longitudinal beams (S) have respective arrays of holes (t, s) of a different shape for receiving first and second posts (P1, P2) that have lengths different from one another and bottom portions with sections different from one another, corresponding to the shapes of the respective receiving holes. Associated to some of the aforesaid posts are brackets (B), which are height-adjustable, designed to press on the top surface of the stack to keep it vertical.
