Benefits of technology

[0004] The system and method for creation of load units should preferably fulfil a number of demands. Thus, one object is that the system and method should be relatively easy to adapt to different situations, both concerning the level of automation and the form and size of the packages forming each load unit.

Problems solved by technology

The pallets as such take up a relatively large place in storing, are heavy and may be cumbersome to handle.

Embodiment Construction

[0013] The system and method of the present invention is based on the presumption that packages 1 of different sizes and shapes are used to form load units 4. Even tough the shown packages 1 all are of a general rectangular form, a person skilled in the art realises that it is possible to form load units 4 of packages having other general forms.

[0014] The present invention is based on the use of several stations 8-10, in which the load units 4 are successively formed. In a first station 8 one or more packages 1 are collected and placed in the form of each desired final load unit 4. In a second station 9 at least one loading ledge 2 is placed at each of two opposite lower edges of the load unit 4. In a third and final station 10 straps 7 and / or stretch wrapping or the like are wound one or more turns around the load unit 4, including the loading ledges 2.

[0015] The loading ledges 2 used are normally of the kind described in PCT / DK01 / 00748 or any corresponding load members. The load...

Abstract

A system and a method for load creation is disclosed. The system comprises two or more stations, in which the load units are formed. In a first station, one or more packages are collected and placed to form the load unit. In later stations loading ledges are added to the load units, and straps and / or stretch wrapping is wound around the load units.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention concerns a system for load unit creation, and more specifically a system based on two or more stations used to form the load units. Each load unit is formed of one or more separate packages. PRIOR ART [0002] Today it is common to use pallets of various forms and sizes as a base for different load units. Often so called EUR pallets made of wood are used. The pallets as such take up a relatively large place in storing, are heavy and may be cumbersome to handle. Furthermore, the EUR pallets are normally reused, which means that they often are returned without carrying any load. In order to avoid the drawbacks with the previously used systems based on EUR pallets or other forms of pallets it has been suggested that two or more smaller, separate loading members or loading ledges may be used in stead of EUR pallets or other pallets. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] As the use of loading ledges has increased, the need of a suitable system and met...
