<p>For picking up and moving containers (26) with corner castings (25) on platforms (1, 3), railway wagons (2'') or ships, two carriages (5) are locked one to each end face of the container. These carriages (5) have sets of wheels, which are vertically movable therein and allow displacement of the carriages in their longitudinal direction. With the wheels of each set at the same height, the carriages are in the lowest position and can be locked by locks in the corner castings of the container. By moving one wheel of each set of each carriage (5) down, the carriage and, if locked thereto, the container are lifted for displacement. Such wheels can bridge gaps (C) between loading surfaces and differences in height between such surfaces. The carriages (5) may also have wheels with a horizontal axis transverse to the other wheels, to allow movement of the carriages (5) with or without a container transversely to their longitudinal direction.</p> |
