A method and an equipment for the transportation of granular or floury material, i.e. of so-called bulk cargo, on the platform (2) of a truck (1) or in a container, by using a large sack (3) lining the load space during the transportation, inside the platform or container, as well as by using a funnel device (4) for unloading the cargo. According to the invention, the funnel device (4) is placed on its side in the platform (2) or container at the rear end of same with the outlet opening (5) directed towards the rear of the platform (2) or container so that the rear end of the load space can be kept closed during the transportation, and the large sack (3) is at its mouth opening fixed dust- and water-tightly to the edges of the funnel (7) of the funnel device (4). Before the bulk cargo is loaded, out of the funnel device (4) the cover (6) covering the funnel (7) is opened and the large sack (3), which has been stored as folded into the funnel (7) for the time of other transportation, is pulled out from the funnel (7) and, from the end opposite the mouth opening, fastened to the front end of the platform (2) or container. Hereupon the large sack (3) is filled through its filling opening. After the unloading of the bulk cargo, when, e.g., parcels are to be transported, the large sack (3) is detached at its front end and stored in the funnel device (4) for protection, and the funnel (7) of the funnel device (4) is closed by means of the cover (6). |
