MULTIPLE-USE TRANSPORTING UNIT FOR SHEET-MATERIAL ROLLS AND THE LIKE

The invention relates to a modular-construction storage and transporting unit (1) for a roll (2) made of a material web, in particular a sheet-material strip, which is wound up on a winding core. The storage and transporting unit (1) comprises a support in which fork tines of an industrial truck can engage. The storage and transporting unit also comprises at least two supporting walls (3), which are arranged opposite one another in the roll-transporting position and each have at least one plug-in opening (4) for accommodating one end of the winding core, and/or allow a retaining sleeve (6) to engage through them, in which case the roll is accommodated axially between the supporting walls (3). The support here is formed from at least two supporting runners (7a), wherein, in the roll-transporting position, the supporting runners (7a) are arranged at a distance apart from one another, and preferably parallel to one another, and the supporting walls (3) are arranged, and retained, on these supporting runners.
