CONTAINER SUPPORTS

摘要

A method of stacking a longer cargo container (26) on a shorter container (25) using a container support (10) to support a part of the length of the longer container (26) overhanging the shorter container (25). The container support (10) and shorter container (25) are both mounted on a container carrier (20), and the container support (10) may be removably-attachable thereto or form an integral part (50) thereof. The method of stacking and container supports can be used to allow improved mixed loading of cargo containers (25, 26). The container supports (10) may be adjustable in height to accommodate different size containers (25, 26). The present invention also includes container carriers (20) incorporating suitable container supports (50).
