Abstract: 1 Transport unit for rock wool products, in particular rock wool insulation panels (2), arranged in a stack, characterised in that the stack has on at least one of its principal surfaces receptacles for handling by mechanical means of transport, such as fork-lift trucks, lifting equipment and the like. 2. Transport unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the receptacles (5) are formed by recesses of a lamellar panel (6,7), which are arranged below the stack as support (4) of the stack. 3. Transport unit according to claim 2, characterised in that the lamellar panel (6,7) is designed in the manner of a pallet, and essentially has a width and length of at least the width and length of the stack, and that the receptacles (5) are designed as recesses in the lamellar panel (6,7), which extend continuously over the length. 4. Transport unit according to claim 2 or 3, characterised in that the pallet-like lamellar panel is formed from three projecting longitudinal members (6), between which the recesses are arranged, which are formed by longitudinal members (7) of the lamellar panel with lower height than the projecting longitudinal members. 5. Transport unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the stack is enveloped with a textile web (9), preferably polyethylene textile web, in which tabs (10) forming the receptacles (5) for the engagement of the mechanical means of transport, which are arranged on one of the principal surfaces of the stack. 6. Transport unit according to claim 5, characterised in that the tabs (10) are designed in one piece with the textile web. 7. Transport unit according to claim 5 or 6, characterised in that the tabs (10) are provided with stiffening. 8. Transport unit according to one of the following claims, characterised in that the receptacles (5) designed as tabs (10) are filled with strips (11) of rock wool insulation material, which are designed with high compressive strength as support bodies for the stack and are detachably received in the tabs. 9. Transport unit according to claim 8, characterised in that the support bodies designed as filling bodies are provided with an adhesive layer (12) which is activatable with a time delay. 10. Transport unit according to claim 9, characterised in that the support bodies are pro vided on at least one side with an adhesive coat (12), which is covered by a peel film, in such a way that the adhesive coat is activatable with a delay after removal of the peel film. 11. Transport unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the receptacles (5) are realised by a support body (13), which is of identical material to the rock wool insulation panels forming the stack, and forms a section of a rock wool insulation panel of the stack or an insulation panel of identical material with small width dimension, such that support bodies arranged centrally below the stack delimit at both sides receptacles (5) for mechanical engagement by the means of transport. 12. Transport unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the receptacles (5) are formed by cavities delimited by virtue of the arrangement of the support bodies below the stack, the support bodies being formed from components that, with the further processing of the transport unit, are inherent in the system, such as sheeting reels, consisting of waterproofing sheetings, or packaging elements, which have additional components such as dowels, screws and the like and are packaged such that the support bodies are realised with appropriate compressive strength. 13. Transport unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the receptacles (5) are formed by the sheeting wrapping of the stack itself in that eyes are formed by virtue of the wrapping. 14. Transport unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the stack is underpinned at the corners by profile elements (16), which form the support bodies and delimit the receptacles (5) between them. 15. Transport unit according to claim 14, characterised in that the profile elements (16) are formed from side walls which converge at a corner and by a base wall. 16. Transport unit according to claim 15 or 14, characterised in that the profile elements (16), which are preferably formed from plastic, are connected to each other by bridges.
