Fastening method for securing container on vehicle platform - uses shaft with spring-loaded claw hooks to grip container

摘要

The holder is for a freight container on the loading surface of a road or rail vehicle having a coupling in the form of a rotatably mounted shaft (3) running in a defined movement direction and carrying a pair of claw hooks (6). The fastening formed by the shaft and the hooks is spring-loaded and the claws are held in their end positions by springs (9). The claws can be released for loading and unloading purposes by an adjustment of the spring force. ADVANTAGE - Allows a container to be secured and released automatically and ensures the load is safe against tilting in transit.
