175 mm Special-Purpose Pallet

Abstract

The report describes the development work underlying the design of a timber special-purpose pallet (43 in x 34 in - 1092 mm x 864 mm) to meet the recommendations of the AWSG Royal Artillery team. The report concludes that the pallet can be designed to meet the handling stresses applied to this class of load in the field and peculiar to the vertical loading of the shells on the pallet. A special expendable debanding tool has been developed at MVEE (Christchurch) to deal with the eight metal bands which might otherwise have been an objectionable feature of the design.
