Abstract
A pallet container (1), which is used as a single-use or multi-use container for the transport and storage of liquids of various types, has an outer jacket (2) made of criss-crossing vertical and horizontal lattice bars (3, 4) made of metal, a support insert (5), which can be used in the outer jacket, made of smooth wall parts made of plastic to support a replaceable, thin-walled inner container (6) made of plastic with a rectangular outline and rounded corners, which has a filler neck (7) that can be sealed by a screw cap (8) and a drain neck (9) to connect a drain valve (10). A sealing cover (11), mounted on the lattice jacket (2) and the support insert (5), is made of plastic or sheet metal. A steel pallet (12) that can be handled by a forklift truck or a storage and retrieval unit for high-bay warehouses or the like, supports the inner container (6), the support insert (5), and the lattice jacket (2). For empty transport and storage purposes, the steel pallet (12) contains a stowage space for the lattice jacket (2) and support insert (5) in the collapsed state.
