1. A transport system for moving cargo containers comprising:
a plurality of elevated supports having powered rollers; a transport having rail engaging the powered rollers, the elevated supports being elevated to a height that allows a vehicle to pass underneath the transport; wherein the transport includes parallel pairs of longitudinal members for supporting a plurality of the containers, each parallel pair of longitudinal members having an upper member disposed above a lower member; a plurality of cross members extending between the lower members and including container supports to support the plurality of containers between the parallel pairs of longitudinal members with an upper end of the containers being adjacent the upper members; and a motor for moving the transport and plurality of the containers over the elevated supports; wherein the parallel pairs of longitudinal members include cantilevered portions extending past the last fore and aft cross members; wherein at least a first pair of supports of the plurality of supports is spaced a distance from an adjacent second pair of supports of the plurality of supports, wherein the cantilevered portions are cantilevered from the transport on the first pair of supports to the adjacent second pair of supports whereby the cantilevered portions contact the rollers of the second pair of supports prior to the transport traveling to the second pair of supports to transfer weight to the second pair of supports. |
