  • Roller deck lifting device for angularly deflecting transport goods
    Patent number: 4747477
    Abstract: A roller deck for the angular deflection of a pallet comprises a basic frame and a lift frame which is movable relative to the basic frame. Both frames have rollers for supporting a pallet. A pneumatic lifting device between the frames elevates the lifting frame upon activation. With such pneumatic lifting, replacement of damaged lifting elements is accomplished without separating the basic frame and lift frame. Moreover, such lift elements are maintenance free during operation.
