Info

The deck board dimensions are standard for a stringer pallet. The pallet has a maximum overhang of 3 inches along the height and width. To define your unitload (pallet) parameters, follow these instructions: 1. Click on the Pallet icon. System Response: The UnitLoad Parameters dialog box appears, as pictured below. 2. Use the following fields to define maximum overhang: Maximum Overhang Length: Enter 3. Maximum Overhang Width: Enter 3. 3. Click on the New Pallet button. System Response: The Define Pallet dialog box appears, as below. 52 TOPS User Guide Supplement and Tutorial
Notice that the Define Pallet dialog box allows you to design your pallet in a very precise manner: The Style options allow you to select the type of pallet you want to build. The Size options allow you to enter the length, width, height and weight of the pallet. The Deck Boards options allow you to enter dimensions of the pallet's deck boards, how much space is between the deck boards, how high, how many, etc. 4. Use the following fields to define the pallet parameters. Use the Tab key to move from field to field. Style: Use the default (Stringer). Alignment: Use the default (Flush). Description: Enter Test Pallet. Construction: Use the default (Single Face). Length: Enter 50. Width: Enter 50. Height: Enter 5. Weight: Enter 65. Outside deck board width: Use the default (7). Number of inside deck: Use the default (5). Inside deck board width: Use the default (5). Deck board height: Use the default (1). Stringer Width: Use the default (2). 5. After completing the pallet parameters, click on OK. System Response: TOPS Pro stores your pallet parameters to memory and redisplays the UnitLoad Parameters dialog box. At this point, let's say you want all the knockdowns oriented the same way on the pallet – a one-block pattern. (In a two-block pattern, the knockdowns are oriented in two ways, and so on.) Because you want to see only a one-block solution, you need to tell TOPS Pro to eliminate all other possibilities. 6. Click on the Options button. System Response: The UnitLoad Options dialog box appears, as pictured on the next page. TOPS Pro Tutorial 53
