Claims
- 1. A method for palletizing goods of different types in a load with units of layers which is characterized in that a unit load is formed based on the dimensional relation among layer area dimensions of said goods, dimensions of void spaces which are not occupied with said goods and dimensions of said goods and comprising the steps of:
- (a) first on a bottom layer having a selected area dimension, establishing a first layer of goods corresponding to said selected area dimension,
- (b) establishing subsequent layers vertically above the bottom layer of goods, layers of goods being piled in the unit of layers by holding at opposed pairs of sides, front-back and left-right, a layer of goods in the unit load with pressure by two pairs of palletizers, holding one opposed pair of sides, then releasing such pressure, holding the other opposed pair of sides, and then again holding at both opposed pairs of sides with pressure,
- (c) exchanging a vertically upper layer of goods with an immediately subjacent layer when an item of goods of said immediately subjacent layer falls into a void occurring in a layer immediately under said subjacent layer, and
- (d) where an unbalanced condition would result from the arrangement of step (c), removing and rearranging the layer having the void instead of exchanging the two layers that would have been placed immediately above said layer having the void.
- 2. The method for palletizing goods in the unit of layers as claimed in claim 1 including the step of providing the unit load with at least one side surface substantially vertical to the bottom surface.
