DE19706493A1 - Goods vehicle with additional upper load platforms - Google Patents

Abstract

The additional load platform is formed by crossbeams (1) which are secured to longitudinal beams (2) which run along the sides of the vehicle. The longitudinal beams are secured to uprights (4) at the side of the vehicle. The longitudinal positions of the uprights can be adjusted. The crossbeams are reinforced against sideways forces which act on the beam by diagonal struts (3). The struts are secured at one end to the crossbeam and at the other end to the structure (10) of the vehicle and lie below the crossbeams.

Description

I. Field of application

The invention relates to superstructures for truck traction vehicles, traction cable trailers, Central axle trailers and semi-trailers.

II. Technical background

For truck bodies, the trend is strongly towards tarpaulin bodies for cost reasons, in particular superstructures with a side sliding tarpaulin, so-called Curtain-Si which are very popular. Normal tarpaulin structures ("hamburger- Convertible top frame ") with side posts, side walls, an outer roof tree with bars attached to it. The tarpaulin covers the entire convertible top frame.

In the curtain siders increasingly used today, the structure consists in the Rule of a fixed front wall, an upper right and left, lateral roof tree, a fixed roof with a tarpaulin or Metal or from a tarpaulin sliding roof, and the rear wall is in the Usually from a portal with two complementary to the back wall Rear doors.

The side sliding tarpaulin and the side center posts are over castors attached to the roof tree.  

The sliding tarpaulin is attached to a special profile that runs along the lateral outer edges of the bottom of the truck is attached by means of a variety tensioned from top to bottom and fastened. After loosening these closures can push the sliding tarpaulin forward or backward be pushed that the majority of the side of the truck for loading and Unloading is freely accessible.

In order to make the construction light and not too voluminous, the the sliding tarpaulin carrying the tree in the longitudinal direction in several places be supported vertically. This is usually done with the help of vertical ones Posts that are usually designed as slides on the curtain sider:

These curtain siders are along the roof tree movable and attached to this. The lower end of the sliding stanchion will at the desired position on the outside of the longitudinal edge of the Floor in a special stanchion mounting fitting. This will the stanchion is rigidly attached to the chassis and supports the roof tree. For loading and Unloading especially from bulky loads can be done analogously to the sliding tarpaulin be moved in the longitudinal direction.

A "hamburger top frame" or a "curtain sider" with a pla NEN sunroof, have only very little - seen transversely to the body's longitudinal axis Stiffness on, since the supporting washers, the front and rear wall, up are 13.6 m apart. The long roof trees are out Only a relatively low stiffness due to weight.

In general, truck companies are keen to determine the degree of utilization of their Optimize vehicles. Among other things, a so-called Double-decker loading, whereby goods are not only parked on the floor of the truck but in an upper loading level above it, which if necessary must be quick to assemble and removable.  

For this purpose, it is known to be spaced in the longitudinal direction at the desired height Arrange loading bars with their two ends in each other opposite side areas of the truck body are attachable. Of the Distance of the crossbars in the longitudinal direction is chosen so that it is the Length of the goods to be placed, mostly pallets. Most are at Tarpaulin superstructures then placed these pallets on the crossbeams so that a front pallet with its rear end and the pallet behind it with their front end rest on the crossbar, one in the longitudinal direction must have a correspondingly broad upper contact surface. Theoretically could also by means of boards etc. which are placed on the crossbeam a continuous second loading floor can be created, which, however, from time and Material reasons are usually not carried out.

The problem with such an additional loading level is that the on this upper loading level for goods stored in driving dynamics Swiveling movements of the vehicle etc. due to their inertial mass Pass on transverse forces, which these in their end fasteners, that is Side areas of the truck body. There - especially with flat bodies and the so-called curtain siders - the side surfaces of the truck only extremely have low stability against transverse forces, these transverse forces are in the Chassis derived, in the diagonal struts - in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle considered - on the one hand on the top of the crossbeam and on the other hand on the opposite side to be attached to the chassis of the vehicle.

It was previously the case with the double-decker version of curtain-sider superstructures usual, the crossbar on the one hand directly on the inside of the slides fasten, so hang up and secure. At first glance, this very much simple and practical solution has the disadvantage that the for Post provided on the outer frame profile not at the same time and in addition to attaching the lower end of a diagonal brace to Was available. So the diagonal strut had to either on the side Crossbars are attached to the side of the sliding stanchion to be able to be led past, and thus on the outside of the floor  on the outside of the outer frame profile. In In this case, the pallets standing on the vehicle floor must be moved this off-center offset can be loaded offset. This leads to Pallet transport for loading length losses on the lower loading level. Wanted to instead, guide the diagonal strut directly under the crossbar in the middle, the lower end of the diagonal strut had to be on the top of the Floor in a suitable fitting or in the stake foot. Fogging in the floor is disadvantageous because of the required depressions. It is difficult with this embodiment, a practical bracing to achieve the diagonal struts, being an exactly vertical position of the relative flexible stanchions is required.

III. Presentation of the invention a) Technical task

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a double-deck To create truck body that also with tarpaulin bodies, especially at so-called curtain siders, a quick and easy conversion and one Safe, almost backlash-free derivation of the transverse forces from the upper one Loading level enables without disturbing arranged in the lower loading floor Fasteners.

Another task is the diagonal strut, which - depending on the weight of the Product arranged in the upper loading level - not with every crossbar must be arranged when not in use and especially when stowed If possible, place the crossbeams in the crossbeam itself to prevent damage.

Another task is to reduce the length loss in the lower loading level, caused by the thickness of the diagonal strut on the upper loading level, the crossbar, structurally to compensate, so that in both loading levels  The grid spacing of the respective desired pallet length must be observed can.

Furthermore, the crossbar including the diagonal strut should be at different heights be attachable for the second loading level.

b) solving the problem

These tasks are characterized by the characterizing features of claims 1 and 2 solved. Advantageous embodiments result from the Subclaims.

By attaching the crossbar not directly to the stanchions, in particular Slides, but next to it, on side beams, in the longitudinal direction be attached to the slides and usually in the plane the crossbars never run between the stanchions exactly in the area of the stanchions and the crossbeams can be along the Side beams are attached to a large number of different longitudinal positions, which is particularly necessary if the stanchions unite as usual two or three times the length of a Euro Pool pallet exhibit. Furthermore, the diagonal struts can be directly under the Crossbars can be arranged trending without dealing with the slides to hinder each other because the diagonal struts as well as the crossbeams now - when viewed from the side - offset longitudinally to the stanchions are arranged.  

Here, a diagonal strut is preferably on those crossbars arranged, which are attached near a stanchion, which has the advantage that the diagonal strut by stabilizing the crossbar indirectly also the narrow neighboring sliding stake stabilized, and thus the entire roof structure of the Vehicle.

Furthermore, the crossbeams can be in any number of positions be arranged along the longitudinal beams, that is, on many different ones Way to the lengths of the goods, pallets etc. to be placed on the crossbeam be adjusted. Due to the offset in the longitudinal direction between the stanchions on the one hand and crossbeams and diagonal struts on the other hand the lower, bottom ends of the diagonal struts easily on the stanchions passed and on the lateral outer surfaces of the loading floor, that is, there usually existing outer frame profile, in a special holder be attached. This avoids any receptacles on the lower loading floor, and further facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the Diagonal struts that are easily accessible by the operator on the outer frame profile can be handled. This also enables attachment options which may well need some space as it is not as small as possible fastening devices to be held, if these are in the area of the Loading floor arrives.

This makes it z. B. possible, laterally strutting on the outer frame profile an eyelet to arrange, and the lower end of the diagonal strut with a longitudinal pin equip. Because the upper, beam-side end of the diagonal strut never is attached to the crossbar completely free of play, the lower end of the Diagonal strut can be deflected forwards or backwards so that the one with the Longitudinally connected diagonal strut pushed into the eyelet, if necessary with hammered in and then secured. A very simple securing consists in a securing flap that is in Insertion direction can be folded down behind the longitudinal pin or the diagonal strut and the retraction or unintentional slipping out of the longitudinal pin reliably prevented from the receiving eyelet.  

This also makes it possible to use the diagonal strut, which is usually Pressure-stable strut is formed directly on the underside of the crossbar attach, especially in one in the bottom of the crossbar arranged receiving groove. The generally centrally located receiving groove has further the advantage that at several height positions of the crossbar, the upper end, which can be designed for example as a fork, the Diagonal brace at the different required positions Locking bolts can be secured without protruding downward protruding Limit the loading height under the crossbar. The receiving groove has such dimensions that when the diagonal strut is not required Diagonal strut detached from the chassis at its bottom end and completely can be folded into the receiving groove of the crossbar. Especially when stowing the crossbeams, so no additional ones at all Loading floor in the truck body is required, this not only minimizes the space required, but primarily protects those for the function and safety of the whole additional loading floor essential diagonal struts from damage.

Each crossbar with an assigned diagonal strut receives on it Contact surface an upwardly projecting spacer, which is approximately the has the same width as the width of the diagonal strut. This will ensures that the upper and lower longitudinal pallet spacing is the same. If this protruding spacer were not present, the upper ones would Pallets in the rear of the vehicle shift so much lengthways can fall off the crossbeams.

For this purpose, the crossbar preferably consists of a hollow one Extruded profile, which is made in particular of aluminum. Same thing usually also applies to the sidebars in order to be lightweight to ensure sufficient stability.

Since the side area of the superstructure in planar superstructures in the transverse direction is little is stable, this also means that depending on the loading condition, the distance  between two opposite side areas, for example between two opposite, suspended in the slides Side bar, is not always exactly the same. The crossbars should - next to the carrying function for the cargo to be placed - also a cross lock between the opposite side beams and thus the ensure opposite slides.

This cross lock is made of static in a push-pull diagonal strut Mandatory reasons.

This cross locking can be done by crossbars that have a certain length own, but difficult to reach, because in this case the assembly of the Crossbars can be extremely difficult or partially impossible if at At the time of assembly, the opposite side beams do not even touch the have the desired distance from each other. The crossbar must therefore enable a change in length for the assembly process, in assembled state, especially in the loaded state, however, a Have length lock that the crossbar in terms of its length the target length locked.

To do this with little construction effort, as little susceptible to faults as possible Allow a reasonable manufacturing price in the free interior Cross section of the hollow profile of the crossbar end pieces inserted, which on the one hand connected to the crossbeam, and on the other hand, with their outer ends, can be attached to the side beams. The attachment of the End pieces on the longitudinal beams usually consist of one in the longitudinal direction running, downwardly open U-profile, which at the outer end of the End piece is welded, and which on the upper edge of the side bar can be plugged on. This connection is secured by a spring-loaded pin, which is attached to the end piece, and in the direction of Crossbar, that is transverse to the longitudinal direction, and in a corresponding Side bar hole clicks into place.  

The change in length of the crossbeam is due to the fact that the end piece in the interior of the crossbeam is guided relatively precisely in terms of its width, that is to say in the horizontal, but is less in height than the interior of the crossbeam. The end piece is thus movable in height in the crossbar. The end of the end piece facing away from the side bar generally consists of a flat material which has an opening which is open in the longitudinal direction. A bolt 28 extends through this opening and is fixed in the profile of the crossbar, for example screwed in as a threaded bolt and secured by means of a nut. The breakthrough in the end piece is in principle larger, especially higher than the diameter of this bolt. As a result, the inner end of the end piece facing away from the side bars can move somewhat in height in the cross bar. In the loaded state of the crossbar, the end piece will assume a position in which the end piece rests against the outer edge of the crossbar at its upper edge, and the bolt also abuts the upper end in the opening.

To remove the crossbar, the operator will lift it up and out unhook the side bar. The bolt moves in the breakthrough of the End piece relatively down, and since the breakthrough goes from bottom to top extended, the end piece thereby gets play in the longitudinal extension of the Crossbar. If this is preferably present on both sides, then thereby a sufficient change in length of the crossbeam for assembly and disassembly on the side beams.

c) working examples

An embodiment according to the invention is below with reference to the figures described in more detail by way of example. Show it:

Fig. 1 shows a truck trailer in side view,

Fig. 2 shows the truck semi-trailer of Fig. 1 in the rear view,

FIGS. 2a-2d are detail views from Fig. 2,

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the crossbar 1 , and

Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of the side beam 2.

Fig. 1 shows the condensed in the side view semi-trailer, with the typical king pin 13, a chassis 10 and wheels 12 at the rear. The semi-trailer has a fixed, front end wall 11 , and at its end a load-bearing door frame construction made from side door portal columns 36 and usually a rear end beam.

Along the outer edges of the roof, in the longitudinal direction - as can be seen better in FIG. 2 - the roof tree 9 runs from the front wall 11 to the rear door portal columns 36 . Slides 4 are slidably mounted on the roof tree 9 by means of rollers, and are fastened to the outer frame profile 16 , that is to say the lateral outer edge of the floor 18 , and the sliding tarpaulin further out.

In Fig. 1 the trailer is shown without the side tarpaulin.

Between the individual slides 4 and the front area between the foremost sliding stanchion 4 and the end wall 11 , side beams 2 are fastened to the desired height. As can be seen in the rear area, these side beams 2 can be hung in several positions of different heights on the slides or on the front and rear structures of the body.

Each of the side bars 2 has two spaced crossbar receptacles 35 for attaching a crossbar 1 . Here, the a cross beam 35 a recording is in the vicinity of one end of the side beam 2 and the other cross-beam receiving 35 b approximately in its central region. This ensures that when the side bars are always of the same length, the cross bars 35 are at the same distance from one another, corresponding to the length of the pallets 37 to be placed . In order to be able to react variably to different pallet dimensions or piece goods dimensions, the side bars 2 generally have many more cross bar receptacles 35 .

In Fig. 1, only goods, in this case stacked empty pallets 37 , are placed on the two foremost crossbars 1 for clarification. It can be seen that these pallets 37 rest on the rear crossbar 1 only slightly less than half on its width, since the rear part of this crossbar 1 would be required for a subsequent next product, for example a next pallet.

In Fig. 1 it can be seen that the diagonal strut 3 , if present, is located exactly below the crossbar 1 , and thus, like the crossbar 1 viewed in side view, runs laterally offset next to the respective sliding stanchion 4 , and therefore also without hindrance with the sliding stanchion 4, just like this, can be fastened to the outer frame profile 16 in a special chassis fastening 8 , which is shown in detail in FIGS. 1a and 1b.

The course of the diagonal strut 3 can be seen better in FIG. 2:

The diagonal strut 3 is fastened at its lower, chassis-side end via an angle end 3 b to the special chassis fastening 8 , and runs from there at an incline to a fastening point on the crossbar 1 , which is located in the other half of the crossbar with respect to the longitudinal center of the vehicle 1 is located. The crossbar 1 with the fastening of the diagonal strut and the length lock at the end of the crossbar 1 is shown in detail in FIG. 2 in FIG. 2b, the chassis-side end of the diagonal strut 3 and its fastening in FIG. 2a and that outside the chassis fastening 8 as well as the stanchion fitting on the floor 18 of the existing construction in FIG. 2d.

Fig. 2 shows on the one hand, as the sliding posts 4 are mounted with their roller on the roof tree 9, but also supported vertically in the mounted state the roof harness 9.

In the plane of the slides 4 , side bars 2 lying opposite one another are shown in FIG. 2 only in a vertical position. Between the two side beams 2 a cross-beam 1 is mounted. For this purpose, the end pieces 25 of the side bar 1 have a U-profile 29 which runs in the longitudinal direction, is open at the bottom and widens slightly downwards, which is inserted over the upper edge of the side bar 2 . As can be seen in FIG. 2 b, on the end piece 25 there is a latching device 30 directed against the side bar 2 , usually a latch pin pretensioned by means of a spring against the side bar 2 , which latches into a corresponding latching receptacle of the side bar 2 . Accordingly, the plurality of locking receptacles 31 along the length of the side beam 2 can also transom at many positions 1 to the side beams 2 are fastened.

The diagonal strut 3 is fastened to the crossbar 1 by means of a plug-in pin 38 to be inserted in the longitudinal direction by the fork 31 formed at the upper end of the diagonal strut 3 . The crossbar 1 has a plurality of bores 39 for pushing through the plug pin 38 in order to be able to reposition the diagonal strut 3 on the crossbar 1 , which is always of the same length, corresponding to the differently selectable height positions of the crossbars 1 .

The fastening of the diagonal strut is explained primarily with reference to FIGS. 1a and 1b and 2a and 2b:

The diagonal strut 3 has at its lower, chassis-side end an angle end 3 b, the end of which runs essentially vertically downward in relation to the diagonal direction of the diagonal strut 3 , in adaptation to the lateral outer edge of the base 18 , that is to say the outer frame profile 16 present there.

At this downwardly bent angle end 3 b, a longitudinally tapered longitudinal pin 21 is welded. As better seen in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the lower end of the diagonal strut to be secured 3 on the chassis by the longitudinal pin is inserted 21 forward into the correspondingly dimensioned opening of an eyelet 23 (Fig. 1a), which on the outer frame profile 16 is attached. The attachment of the diagonal strut at its upper end, namely on the crossbar 1 , is sufficiently free to allow such a pivoting movement of the diagonal strut 3 . Securing the longitudinal pin 21 in the eye 23 takes place in that is tilted down after insertion into the eye of a securing flap 24 in a plane corresponding to the longitudinal extension of the longitudinal pin 21 from the vertically upward deactuated position in a horizontal securing position (Fig. 1b), by the securing flap 24 being mounted on the outer frame profile 16 about a transverse axis. In this securing position, it rests on a corresponding projection, for example the load securing profile 26 starting here.

The described chassis attachment 8 of the diagonal strut 3 is thus outside and not mutually obstructing next to the stanchion receptacle for the slides 4 , which is also located on the longitudinal outside of the outer frame profile 16 .

In the other longitudinal areas there is a so-called load securing profile 26 on the vertical longitudinal outer surface of the outer frame profile 16 , which at its upper end leaves sufficient space in relation to the outer edge of the outer frame profile 16 to latch lashing hooks 40 in between and secure it by pulling it up, as a result of which the free cranked end of the lashing hook 40 swings into the bulge of the outer frame profile 16 .

The load securing profile 26 has at its lower end an end leg 34 'which ends essentially vertically downward at a certain distance from the outer edge of the outer frame profile 16 .

This end leg is used for hanging and vertical bracing side tarpaulin.

In order not to cause in the region of the stanchion recordings and the chassis attachment of the diagonal strut 3 to large gap when rigging the lateral plane, is at least in the region of the chassis fastening of the diagonal struts 3, also preferably in the range of stanchion attachment, a profile preferably a Z- or U Profile, laterally attached to the outer frame profile 16 , which also has a vertically downward free end leg 34 in the lower region, which corresponds to the end leg 34 'of the load securing profile 26 in terms of position and distance from the outer frame profile.

As can be seen in FIG. 2a, the Z profile with the end leg 34 is located below the eyelet 23 for receiving the longitudinal pin 21 of the diagonal strut 3 .

The upper end of the diagonal strut 3 Fig consists invention. 2b from a fork 3 a, which has a longitudinal bore for passing inserting a cotter pin 38, thereby fixing to the cross beams 1. The fork 3 is located within a receiving groove 6 , which is indicated by a dashed line in FIG. 2 and is located in the underside of the crossbar 1 , as can be seen better from FIG. 3:

The crossbar 1 is shown in cross section in FIG. 3, namely in the right half with parts attached and in the left half in the raw state.

The crossbar 1 is symmetrical to its vertical center plane, and has a closed, approximately square hollow profile with vertically laterally outwardly extending projections 41 from the upper edge, which enlarge the upper contact surface 26 of the crossbar 1 , and at their free outer ends are thickened and rounded.

The upper support surface 46 of the crossbar 1 has depressions in its side areas, which are used primarily to reinforce the profile and improve the grip. In its central area, the support surface 46 also has a recess 47 'into which a spacer 7 in the form of a square profile can be inserted laterally with a precise fit and secured by screwing or welding.

The spacer 7 is generally only required for the crossbeams which have a diagonal strut 3 . He adjusts the pallet position on the upper loading level.

In the underside, the crossbar 1 has a receiving groove 6 , the bottom of which is formed by the cross leg 33 .

If necessary, a diagonal strut 6 which is not required can be folded into the receiving groove and is completely accommodated in it. In the case of an assembled diagonal strut 3, only the fork 3 is a top end of the diagonal strut in this receiving groove 6, and is secured there by means of a socket pin 38th A high degree of stability is provided by the fact that the plug pin 38 extends through both a side wall of the crossbar 1 and both side walls of the receiving groove 6 .

The locking pin 38 is secured in that the locking pin 38 can only be fully inserted in a certain position, for example at 45 ° to the horizontal, with the handle 38 a projecting transversely thereto. After insertion, the free end of the relatively heavy handle 38 a is suspended from the crossbar by means of a chain or a rope so that it has a z. B. horizontal position, at least one position above the insertion position. As a result, unintentional removal of the plug pin 38 is not possible. Even if this hanging should accidentally come loose, the handle 38 a will hang down into a vertical position due to its own weight, in which in turn no unintentional removal of the plug pin 38 is possible.

The wall thickness of the hollow profile, from which the crossbar 1 is made, is reinforced both in the area of the bores 39 , which serve to push the plug pin 38 through, and in the area of the push-through openings 39 'for the bolt 28 , which fastens the end pieces 25 of the crossbar 1 . The end piece 25 is drawn with its hollow profile with dashed lines in the left half of FIG. 3. It can be seen that the end piece 25 has hardly any play in the lateral direction with respect to FIG. 3, and is guided on the inner surfaces of the thickened portions of the hollow profile of the crossbar 1 in the region of the through openings 39 '. However, the end piece 25 is lower than the available cavity in the crossbar 1 , and is therefore movable in height. In the middle on the underside of the end piece 25 there is a welded-on bearing projection 32 made of flat material or spherical material. The function of the end piece 25 is clear from FIGS. 2b and 2c:

Fig. 2b shows the crossbar 1 and thus also the end piece 25 shown in the right half in the suspended and loaded state.

Since the load pushes the crossbar 1 down, the crossbar 1 rests with its upper cross profile at the outer end, at the point 42 , on the top of the end piece 25 . The U-profile at the outer end of the end piece 25 presses on the side bar 2 from above. The inner end of the end piece 25 , which can consist of a flat material 43 which is welded to the box profile of the end piece 25 , encloses with its opening 27 the bolt 28 which extends above the receiving groove 6 through the crossbar 1 . Since the opening 27 becomes narrower from the bottom to the top and is only slightly wider at its upper end than the thickness of the generally round bolt 28 , there is no play between the bolt in the loaded direction in the transverse direction, that is to say the longitudinal direction of the beam 1 28 and the opening 27 more, and thus the distance between the U-profile 29 shown in Fig. 2b at the right end and the opposite, although not shown, left analog U-profile is fixed, whereby the corresponding side bar 2 in a certain Target distance from each other is kept and thus stiffened against each other.

When placing the crossbar 1 , however, the side bars 2 in another, z. B. because of bulge slightly larger, distance from each other. The placement of the crossbar 1 is nevertheless not a problem, since on the one hand the outer free leg of the longitudinal U-Pro file 29 is cranked outwards and facilitates plugging onto the side bar 2 . In addition - if the operator holds the crossbar 1 on its central main profile and lifts it up - the end piece 25 is folded downwards on the outside, and lies on the cross leg 33 , which is the upper end of the support leg 32, preferably attached to the underside of the box profile Recording groove 3 a in the crossbar 1 represents.

Since the bearing protrusion 32 is placed along the longitudinal extent of the end piece 25 so that the parts of the end piece which are close to the side bar 2 in FIG. 2c are heavier than the inner parts, that is to say to the left of the bearing protrusion 32 , parts fold in this state End piece 25 around the bearing protrusion 32 with the outer regions downward. The opening 27 thus pivots upward, and the bolt 28 is located in the lower, broad area of the opening 27 . As a result, the end piece 25 can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the crossbar in this position, corresponding to the actual distance of the opposite side bars 2 .

For the secure locking of the desired length of the crossbar 1 , the opening 27 is preferably trapezoidal or triangular, the side flank directed towards the center of the crossbar 1 being steeper, deviating approximately 5-15 ° from the vertical, than the side edge pointing outwards. which rises at an angle of 40-50 °.

As FIG. 4a shows in the cross-sectional illustration of the side bar 2 , this is also an extruded profile consisting of hollow chambers. From the upper hollow chamber 2 a, the extensions 44 a, 44 b protrude further up with rounded ends. The rounded ends have at least one of the extensions 44 a or 44 b at regular short intervals. This makes it possible to insert a lashing hook 40 , which is somewhat thinner than the free distance between the extensions 44 a, 44 b, between the extensions and to fix them by twisting them into the vertical position and tightening the lashing strap attached to them.

To the upper hollow chamber 2 a, the lower hollow chamber 2 includes b, which is designed to be narrower at least over a partial area as the hollow chamber 2 a, wherein on the in Fig. 4a the left side which is to constitute the outside of the vehicle, the hollow chambers 2 a and 2 b essentially aligned.

This creates a recess 48 on the right-hand outside facing the vehicle interior.

In front of this recess 48 and approximately flush with the right side of the side bar 2 , a mounting plate 45 can be placed and firmly connected to the side bar 2 . Such a mounting plate 45 is inserted, for example, into a downwardly open recess 49 at the upper end of the recess 48 , and with its lower region laterally on an outer surface 50 of the side bar 2 , i.e. its lower hollow chamber 2 b, by screwing, riveting or Glued attached.

Such a mounting plate 45 is shown in Fig. 4b. The essence of this mounting plate 45 are the recesses 56 , which consist of an approximately circular larger central recess 56 a, from which extensions strive up and down in the form of a rectangle 56 b. At the free ends of these extensions 56 b, a laterally striving, T-shaped small extension 46 c can then be arranged.

The fastening plate 45 , which usually consists of sheet steel, has a plurality of such recesses 56 one behind the other, that is to say in the longitudinal direction of the side bar 2 .

These recesses 56 are quasi-standardized in terms of shape and size, since this shape enables the attachment of load securing rods as well as the attachment of lashing hooks to which lashing straps are also attached for the purpose of securing the load.

Barrier bars can also be hooked on.
