<p>A livestock transport container has a deck which may be deployed at an intermediate height between the floor and the ceiling of the container to subdivide the container into upper and lower compartments or it may be placed in a stored position to allow the full height of the container to be used. Additionally, upper and lower cross divisions 12, 14 formed as single gates, are deployable at a location intermediate the front and rear of the container to subdivide each of the upper and lower compartments, when the deck is deployed, into front and rear compartments. Each cross division 12, 14 is hingedly connected adjacent a first side wall of the container and has a free side end with a projecting finger. To selectively connect the upper and lower cross divisions 12, 14 tubular elements 13, 15 on each of these can be brought into alignment and an elongate bolt 17 slidably mounted in the bore of the upper element 13 can be moved axially between a withdrawn position and an extended position in which it projects downwards and engages into the bore of the lower tubular element to connect the two cross divisions 12, 14 together.</p> |
