The invention concerns equipment for transport of containers (8) and other larger load carriers which, together with a load carrying frame, form a load unit (7) arranged so as to be able to be placed on a load changer (2) on a first vehicle (1), which is fitted with devices (6) for manoeuvring of the load unit (7) when this is to be placed on or unloaded from the load changer. The load changer frame (20) is fitted with an upward-pointing stand (pillar) (21) at the front end. The stand is fitted with a coupling device (27) for coupling together the vehicle's projection (6) with the stand. The load changer frame (20) is longer than the load changer (2), so that the load carrying frame projects with a rear end part beyond the rear end (10) of the load changer. The rear end part of the load carrying frame is fitted with at least one pair of wheels (38). When the load unit is unloaded, the stand (21) can be swung down towards the ground through rotation about a horizontal pivot (22) for conversion of the load unit (7) to a trailer (7 min ). The swung-down column can thereafter act as a drawbar (21 min ) on the trailer (7 min ). |
