Pallet box assembly for heavy, high-temperature object transport
The patent US12065281B2 describes a pallet box assembly designed for the transportation of heavy and/or high-temperature objects. The assembly features a tub and a frame, with the frame comprising top and bottom rails that extend longitudinally and are connected by lateral and connecting rails. The tub is constructed with laterally separated side plates that form its side walls, a bottom plate that connects to these side plates, and a front plate that forms the front wall of the tub. Notably, the bottom plate includes an upwardly arc-shaped portion and lateral sections that support the tub against the frame's lateral rails. The design incorporates a gap between the bottom and front plates, enhancing structural integrity and accommodating potential bulging under load.
Further enhancements to the pallet box assembly include a lower plate positioned beneath the bottom plate to counteract lateral expansion due to heavy loads, as well as a front lateral reinforcing beam that supports the front plate when subjected to pressure. The assembly allows for a floating lock mechanism that provides a vertical gap between the tub and the frame, facilitating movement and reducing stress on the structure. Additionally, the design includes brackets that restrict lateral movement of the tub while maintaining a lateral gap to accommodate unloading conditions. This innovative assembly is particularly suited for transporting metal mill by-products, showcasing its utility in industrial applications.
