PALLET CART SAFETY STRUCTURE AND METHOD

Abstract: a structure and method for safely loading and unloading pallet carts to and from multi-level commercial storage racks includes a security structure to catch the carts, in case they fall during the loading or unloading procedure. a pair of rail structures typically extends from the front to the rear of a storage bay. pallet transportation carts travel on a lower surface of these rail structures and the pallets rest on an upper surface of the rails. a cart security structure in the form of a grate is positioned under the rails, at least at the front of the storage bay. the cart security structure should be about as wide as the space between the rails and should be sufficiently below the rails, so as not to interfere with cart movement. the structure should be constructed to prevent the accumulation of items that can interfere with pallet loading.
