Transport and loading system for rail-based vehicles

摘要

A transporting and loading system for rail-supported conveyances using transport vehicles outfitted with a standardized loading platform for ISO containers, particularly for machinery for inspecting and maintaining track installations, is provided. Transporting and loading rail-supported conveyances allowing rail-supported conveyances to be safely transported to places of use at any distance apart without special-purpose vehicles and to be deposited on and picked up from a track installation without external lifting gear is described. The transporting and loading system has a sandwich construction comprising two floor assemblies which conform to ISO container dimensions, an intermediate space between the floor assemblies for drive units, transmission units and control units for the automated movement of the loading and offloading unit, and rails are provided for holding and guiding the rail-supported conveyances on the sandwich construction.

主权项

1. A transporting and loading system for rail-supported conveyances using transport vehicles outfitted with a loading platform based on standardized ISO container dimensions and with standardized lock elements, the system comprising:
at least one rectangular frame in the form of a floor assembly conforming to the ISO container dimensions having two long sides, two short sides and four ISO container corners; a loading and offloading unit allowing goods to be loaded past at least one short side of the at least one rectangular frame; a sandwich construction comprising in a mirror-inverted manner at least two floor assemblies conforming to the ISO container dimensions, the at least two floor assemblies each comprising one rectangular frame and a base plate are rigidly connected via the container corners pairwise arranged one directly above the other; an intermediate space provided between the at least two floor assemblies of the sandwich construction, for disposing drive units, transmission units and control units for an automated movement of the loading and offloading unit; and rails for holding and guiding the rail-supported conveyances on an upper base plate of the sandwich construction in a longitudinal direction of the at least one rectangular frame, the rails being aligned parallel to one another.
