Description

The invention relates to a transport container according to the features of claim 1.

When using transport containers for aircraft that are suspended from aircraft by means of slings, there is a problem between weight and stability. On the one hand, the transport container itself should have a low weight in order to be able to accommodate a high payload; on the other hand, a high stability of the transport container is necessary, since large transverse forces and / or tensile forces act on the transport container during hanging transport.

The DE 30 24 707 C2 relates to a freight container with carriers made of hollow profile, which are connected by means of corner pieces.

The invention is based on the object of creating a transport container.

The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

The transport container according to the invention with four corner posts, at least three side walls and at least one base, the four corner posts being connected at an end remote from the floor by means of cross members, the corner posts each being at least partially designed as a hollow profile, with a support device being arranged on each corner post at least one reinforcing element within the hollow profile of at least one corner post of the four corner posts.

The arrangement of a reinforcing element increases the rigidity and low weight of corner posts and / or cross members made of, in particular, light metal. For example, this effect is reinforced by a first and / or second side plate of a support element. This effect has a particularly strong effect when the transport container is suspended from a crane or aircraft.

If the transport container has a temporarily open side with one or two assigned doors, the rigidity of this door side is reinforced by supporting elements and a supporting locking mechanism for the door.

A combination of aluminum and stainless steel achieves a high level of rigidity with a low weight of the transport container.

In particular, the arrangement of a lock with a securing element and a supporting element that support each other in the loaded state increases the rigidity of the transport container. The locking is preferably self-locking due to the weight of the securing element itself.

A bolt in the lower area of the respective door preferably reinforces the stability of the transport container.

As an alternative to hanging transport, the transport container can be transported upright with support devices of an industrial truck, for example a forklift, which engage from below, preferably on cross members.

Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are described in more detail below.
