A modular system for constructing a stillage

摘要

A modular system for constructing a stillage 55, the system comprising: a plurality of slats 11, and a plurality of beams 3. Each beam 3 has a first end 25, a second end 27, and one or more slat-recesses 9. The first end 25 of each beam 3 is configured to form two interlocking joints at the same time, each joint being between the first end 25 and an end of another beam 3. In use, a plurality of beams 3 can be interlocked to form the frame of a stillage 55. Each slat-recess 9 is configured to receive a portion of a slat 11. In use, a slat 11 can be mounted on and extend between at least two of said beams 3 to form a side wall 60 and/or deck 4 of a stillage 55. A pallet like base is connected to two upwardly extending posts with slats passing between the arms to form a side wall. An upwardly extending arm interlocks with a pallet like base by sliding in a direction parallel to the surface of the pallet.
