Vehicle for transporting a rectangular container, in particular a so-called ISO container with corner fittings

摘要

In a vehicle for transporting an essentially rectangular so-called ISO container or similar container (30), the latter is connected to at least one arm which can pivot about an articulation axis in relation to the chassis of the vehicle (12) and can be set down from the chassis (22) from an approximately horizontal position of rest onto the underlying surface. A carriage (28) is arranged on the chassis (22) and is attached so as to be capable of pivoting upwards from the chassis towards the direction of travel (x) about a pivot axis (43), the arm being an upright component (25) of a lifting arm (26) which is coupled to the carriage at a distance (b) from it and is constructed so that its distance from the carriage can be varied around the joint (48) under the control of an energy accumulator (36, 36k). <IMAGE>
