Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abstützvorrichtung für Container und Wechselaufbauten von Lastfahrzeugen, bestehend aus Stützfüßen mit hydraulisch oder pneumatisch ausfahrbaren Hubstempeln, die im Bereich des an der Ausfahrseite des Hubstempels liegenden Endes an im Bodenbereich vorgesehenen Halterungen des Containers oder Wechselaufbaues nach oben weisend feststellbar angebracht sind, so daß sie bei Kupplung mit hydraulischen oder pneumatischen Versorgungseinrichtungen als Hebe-und Absenkvorrichtungen für den Container verwendbar sind.The invention relates to a support device for containers and swap bodies of trucks, consisting of support feet with hydraulically or pneumatically extendable lifting rams, which in the region of the end lying on the extension side of the lifting ram are attached to the holders of the container or swap body provided in the floor area so that they can be fixed upward that they can be used as a lifting and lowering device for the container when coupled with hydraulic or pneumatic supply devices.

Abstützvorrichtungen dieser Art erleichtern das Auf-und Abladen von Containern und Wechselaufbauten, soferne das jeweilige Transportfahrzeug mit einer entsprechenden hydraulischen oder pneumatischen Versorgungseinrichtung versehen oder am jeweiligen Ladeplatz eine entsprechende Versorgungseinrichtung vorhanden ist. Für das Absetzen und Aufnehmen des Containers oder Wechselaufbaues wird dieser mit Hilfe der Hubstempel über die Auflagen des jeweiligen Lastfahrzeuges angehoben.Support devices of this type facilitate the loading and unloading of containers and swap bodies, provided the respective transport vehicle is provided with a corresponding hydraulic or pneumatic supply device or a corresponding supply device is available at the respective loading place. To set down and pick up the container or swap body, it is lifted above the supports of the respective truck with the help of the lifting rams.

Bei einer aus der US-PS 3 332 661 bekannten Konstruktion sind die Stützfüße ladenartig in quer verlaufenden Auszugsführungen des Containers geführt, so daß sie aus einer Ruhestellung seitlich aus dem Container herausgezogen und dann um parallel zur Längsachse des Containers verlaufende Achsen geschwenkt werden können, in welcher Stellung die Zylinder der Stützfüße neben den Seitenwänden des Containers nach oben weisen und durch an den ladenartigen Auszugführungen angreifende Schrägstreben gesichert sind. Aus den nun etwa in Höhe der Standfläche der Containerenden liegenden Zylinderenden können die Hubstempel ausgefahren werden. Nachteilig bei dieser beschriebenen Konstruktion ist, daß beidseits neben dem Container mehr als je die Länge des Stützfußes freigehalten werden muß, um das Herausziehen und Hochschwenkken der Stützfüße zu ermöglichen, so daß sich beim Abstellen von Containern auf Sammelplätzen und beim Verladen mehrerer Container zu große gegenseitige Abstände der Container ergeben. Abgesehen davon, entstehen durch die Unterbringungsräume für die Stützfüße Stufen im Boden des Containers die das Be- und Entladen erschweren. Bei einer manchmal erwünschten, erhöhten Dauerabstellung des Containers, die seine Aufnahme mit einem keine hydraulische Versorgungseinrichtung enthaltenden Fahrzeug oder seine Be-und Entladung von Laderampen aus ermöglichen soll, kann schon die kleinste Undichtheit zwischen Zylinder und dem vom Stützfuß gebildeten Kolben zu einem langsamen Absacken führen, so daß in der Praxis von einem solchen erhöhten Abstellen Abstand genommen wird.In a construction known from US Pat. No. 3,332,661, the support feet are guided in a tray-like manner in transverse pull-out guides of the container, so that they can be pulled out laterally from a rest position out of the container and then pivoted about axes running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container which position the cylinders of the support feet next to the side walls of the container point upwards and secured by oblique struts acting on the drawer-like pull-out guides are. The jacks can be extended from the cylinder ends, which are now approximately at the level of the base of the container ends. The disadvantage of this construction described is that both sides of the container more than ever the length of the support leg must be kept free to enable the pulling out and swiveling up of the support legs, so that when parking containers on assembly points and when loading several containers too large mutual Distances of the containers result. Apart from this, the accommodation spaces for the support feet create steps in the bottom of the container that make loading and unloading more difficult. With a sometimes desired, increased permanent parking of the container, which is intended to enable it to be picked up by a vehicle that does not contain a hydraulic supply device, or to be loaded and unloaded from loading ramps, even the slightest leak between the cylinder and the piston formed by the support leg can lead to a slow sagging , so that in practice such an elevated parking is avoided.

Es ist auch bekannt, an Containern und Wechselaufbauten von Lastfahrzeugen Stelzen bildende Stützfüße anzubringen, die ein erhöhtes Abstellen über dem Boden ermöglichen. Solche in sich starren Stützfüße können auch am Container anklappbar befestigt sein. Dabei sind auch ausziehbare sonst aber starre Stützfüße,die in verschiedenen Ausziehstellungen verriegelt werden können und Stützfüße bekannt, die mit kurzhubigen Zylinder- Kolbeneinheiten kombiniert sind, mit deren Hilfe der Container oder Wechselaufbau für das Absetzen bzw. Aufnehmen über die entsprechenden Halterungen oder Stützflächen des aufnehmenden Fahrzeuges angehoben werden kann.It is also known to mount stilts on containers and swap bodies of trucks, which allow elevated parking above the ground. Such rigid support feet can also be hinged to the container. There are also extendable but rigid support feet, which can be locked in various extended positions, and support feet are known that are combined with short-stroke cylinder-piston units, with the help of which the container or interchangeable body for settling or receiving via the corresponding brackets or support surfaces of the receiving Vehicle can be raised.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Abstützvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die auch eine gesicherte erhöhte Abstellung des Containers bzw. Wechselaufbaues ermöglicht und dabei platzsparend am Container untergebracht werden kann, wobei auch für die Verstellung in und aus der Gebrauchsstellung nur wenig Raum benötigt wird.The object of the invention is to provide a support device of the type mentioned at the outset, which also enables secure elevated parking of the container or swap body, and thereby saves space on the container Can be accommodated, with little space required for the adjustment in and out of the use position.

Eine Abstützvorrichtung der genannten Art ist nach der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Stützfüße an den Halterungen des Containers oder Wechselaufbaues in einer zweiten Stellung feststellbar sind, so daß sie von den Halterungen nach unten weisende, starre Stützfüße bilden, die den Container oder Wechselaufbau erhöht über der Standfläche abstützen, wobei diese Stützfüße an ihrem Befestigungsende um eine horizontale Querachse schwenkbar am Container oder Wechselaufbau gelagert, in den beiden Arbeitsstellungen über Streben feststellbar und um die Querachse in eine liegende Transportstellung klappbar sind.A support device of the type mentioned is characterized according to the invention in that the support feet on the brackets of the container or swap body can be locked in a second position, so that they form downward-pointing, rigid support feet from the brackets, which increases the container or swap body support the standing area, these support feet being mounted on their fastening end so as to be pivotable about a horizontal transverse axis on the container or swap body, can be fixed in the two working positions by means of struts and can be folded about the transverse axis into a lying transport position.

Die Stützfüße können somit entweder so angebracht werden, daß sie bei eingefahrenem Hubstempel neben dem Containeraufbau stehen und ein Heben und Senken des Containers oder Wechselaufbaues ermöglicht wird, oder so, daß sie einfache Stelzfüße bilden, bei denen nicht einmal ein hydraulischer Anschluß notwendig ist. Damit ist die Abstützvorrichtung vielseitig anwendbar. Für den praktisch nur kurzzeitig notwendigen Betrieb der Hubstempel ist die Abdichtung zwischen Kolben und Zylinder nicht kritisch, da man bei längerer Aufstellung ohnehin den Stützfuß als starren Stelzfuß einsetzen wird.The support feet can thus either be attached so that they stand next to the container structure when the lifting ram is retracted and the container can be lifted or lowered, or so that they form simple pedestal feet that do not even require a hydraulic connection. The support device is thus versatile. The seal between the piston and the cylinder is not critical for the operation of the jacks, which is practically only necessary for a short period of time, since the support leg will be used as a rigid pedestal anyway if it is set up for a long time.

In ihrer Transportstellung liegen die Stützfüße unterhalb des Containerbodens und sind aus dieser Stellung in Längsrichtung der verstellbar ausgebildeten horizontalen Querachse ausziehbar und seitlich neben dem Container bzw. Wechselaufbau in ihre Arbeitsstellung verschwenkbar. Für die Unterbringung wird also in der Praxis der Raum unterhalb des Containerbodens und neben den an den meisten Containern vorhandenen Längsträgern ausgenützt.In their transport position, the support feet lie below the container floor and can be pulled out from this position in the longitudinal direction of the adjustable horizontal transverse axis and can be pivoted into their working position laterally next to the container or swap body. In practice, the space underneath the container floor and next to the side members on most containers is used for the accommodation.

Die Stützfüße können aus Stranpreßprofilen aus Aluminium hergestellt sein, die Zylinder für an den Hubstempeln vorgesehene Kolben bilden oder in denen solche Zylinder in Form von Rohren aus gute Gleiteigenschaften aufweisendem Material, beispielsweise rostfreiem Stahlblech, eingefügt, eingeklebt oder durch eingebrachten Schaumstoff verankert sind.The support feet can be made of extruded aluminum profiles, the cylinders for the stroke stamp provided pistons or in which such cylinders in the form of tubes made of material with good sliding properties, for example stainless steel sheet, are inserted, glued or anchored by inserted foam.

Die Stützfüße können mit ihren Querachsen in Rohren längsverstellbar lagern und in verschiedenen Ausschiebestellungen feststellbar sein.The support feet can be longitudinally adjustable with their transverse axes in tubes and can be locked in various extended positions.

Verschiedene Ausschiebestellungen der Stützfüße kann man wählen, wenn nach einer Weiterbildung am Lastfahrzeug Stütz-Schwenklager für den Boden oder Bodenträger des Containers bzw. Wechselaufbaues und vor dessen Mitte Abstützungen für die ausfahrbaren Hubstempel der schwenkbar am Container anbringbaren Stützfüße vorgesehen sind, so daß der Container mittels dieser Hubstempel zum Heck kippbar ist. Bei dieser Ausführung wird also die Abstützvorrichtung zugleich als Kippvorrichtung für den am Fahrzeug verbleibenden Container verwendet, wodurch verschiedene Entladeaufgaben erleichtert und der gesamte Anwedungsbereich der Abstützvorrichtung weiter vergrößert wird. Die Abstützungen des Lastfahrzeuges können ebenfalls an nach außen über die Containerbreite hinaus verschiebbaren Trägern vorgesehen sein, damit die Stützfüße seitlich neben dem Container zum Einsatz gebracht werden können. Die Abstützungen verhindern beim Kippvorgang ein Ausweichen der Hubstempelenden,die Stützfüße können beim Kippen um ihre Achsen schwenken.Different extension positions of the support feet can be selected if, according to a further development on the truck, support swivel bearings for the floor or floor support of the container or swap body and, in front of the center, supports are provided for the extendable lifting rams of the support feet which can be pivotably attached to the container, so that the container is by means of this jack can be tilted to the rear. In this embodiment, the support device is thus also used as a tilting device for the container remaining on the vehicle, which simplifies various unloading tasks and further enlarges the entire application area of the support device. The supports of the truck can also be provided on supports that can be displaced outward beyond the width of the container so that the support feet can be used laterally next to the container. The supports prevent the ends of the jack from deflecting during the tipping process, and the support feet can pivot about their axes when tipping.

Für den normalen Abstützvorgang und auch für das Heben und Senken sollen die Stützfüße möglichst weit außen, also in der Nähe der Ecken des Containers angreifen. Will man eine stärkere Kippung erzielen, kann man die Stützfüße von an den Enden vorgesehenen Halterungen auf in der Nähe der Mitte des Containers oder Wechselaufbaues vorgesehene Halterungen umsteckbar anbringen. Dadurch wird der Abstand von den Schwenklagern am Heck des Lastfahrzeuges verkürzt und damit bei gleicher Hubhöhe wie bei der Anbringung am Ende der erzielbare Schwenkwinkel vergrößert.For the normal support process and also for lifting and lowering, the support feet should engage as far out as possible, i.e. near the corners of the container. If you want to achieve a greater tilt, you can attach the support feet from holders provided at the ends to holders provided near the center of the container or swap body. This shortens the distance from the swivel bearings at the rear of the truck and thus at the same lifting height as in the attachment at the end of the achievable swivel angle increased.

Für die Stützfüße kann auf dem Lastfahrzeug eine hydraulische Versorgungseinrichtung vorgesehen sein, die einen Mengenteiler zur Versorgung von zu den einzelnen Stützfüßen führenden Versorgungsleitungen umfaßt, wobei die einzelnen Stützfüße über ein Steuerorgan mit Einhebelbedienung wahlweise einzeln, gruppenweise oder gemeinsam mit der Druckflüssigkeit im Ein- bzw. Ausschiebesinn beaufschlagbar bzw. mit einer Rücklaufleitung verbindbar sind.For the support feet, a hydraulic supply device can be provided on the truck, which comprises a flow divider for supplying supply lines leading to the individual support feet, the individual support feet using a control element with single-lever operation either individually, in groups or together with the hydraulic fluid in the single or Extending direction can be acted upon or connected to a return line.

Eine Einzelbeaufschlagung der Stützfüße ist beispielsweise zur Nivellierung eines Containers bei unebener Standfläche erwünscht. Nach dem Nivelliervorgang werden dann alle Stützfüße synchron betätigt. Eine gruppenweise Betätigung wieder ist beim beschriebenen Kippvorgang notwendig. Ein Steuerorgan mit Einhebelbedienung erleichtert die Einstellung verschiedener: Steuerbefehle. Vorzugsweise wird das Steuerorgan über genügend lange Leitungen angschlossen, um der Bedienungsperson eine Beobachtung des Containers oder Wechselaufbaues aus einem genügenden Abstand zu ermöglichen.A single loading of the support feet is desirable, for example, for leveling a container with an uneven standing area. After the leveling process, all support feet are operated synchronously. A group operation is necessary again in the tilting process described. A control unit with single-lever operation facilitates the setting of various: control commands. The control member is preferably connected via lines of sufficient length to enable the operator to observe the container or swap body from a sufficient distance.

Ein Container oder Wechselaufbau 1 für ein Lastfahrzeug ist mit vier oder mehreren Stützfüßen 2 ausgestattet. An der Unterseite des Containers 1 sind Längsträger 3 meist zwei parallele Längsträger vorgesehen, mit denen sich der Container 1 beim Transport auf einem Lastfahrzeug und in abgesenkter Stellung am Boden abstützen kann.A container or swap body 1 for a truck is equipped with four or more support feet 2. On the underside of the container 1 are longitudinal beams 3 Usually two parallel longitudinal beams are provided, with which the container 1 can be supported during transport on a truck and in the lowered position on the ground.

Die Stützfüße 2 weisen jeweils einen aus einem Strangpreßprofil hergestellten Zylinder 4 auf, der an dem einen Ende durch eine Fußplatte 5 verschlossen ist und einen Hubstempel 6 enthält. Der Zylinder 4 ist über Anschlußleitungen bzw. entsprechende Leitungskupplungen mit einem hydraulischen Mittel beaufschlagbar. Der Hubstempel 6 kann im Zylinder 4 ein- und ausgefahren werden. Es ist eine Konstruktion mit ein- oder beidseitig beaufschlagbaren Zylindern möglich. Bei einseitig nur im Ausschiebesinn des Hubstempels beaufschlagbaren Zylindern 4 kann eine Rückzugsfeder vorgesehen werden, die das Bestreben hat, den Hubstempel 6 in den Zylinder 4 hineinzuziehen.The support feet 2 each have a cylinder 4 made from an extruded profile, which is closed at one end by a base plate 5 and contains a lifting stamp 6. The cylinder 4 can be acted upon by a hydraulic medium via connecting lines or corresponding line couplings. The jack 6 can be retracted and extended in the cylinder 4. A design with cylinders that can be loaded on one or both sides is possible. In the case of cylinders 4 which can only be acted upon on one side in the direction of extension of the lifting ram, a return spring can be provided which tends to pull the lifting ram 6 into the cylinder 4.

Der Stützfuß 2 ist im Bereich des Ausfahrendes 8 des Hubstempels 6 um eine Querachse 7 am Container 1 bzw. am Längsträger 3 schwenkbar gelagert. In der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Lage liegt das Ausfahrende 8 bzw. das Ende 9 des eingefahrenen Hubstempels 6 etwa in der Höhe der Standfläche, die durch die Träger 3 bestimmt ist. Zur Fixierung in dieser Stellung dient eine Schrägstrebe 10, die in einem Widerlager 11 entweder lösbar oder in Längsrichtung des Trägers 3 verstellbar und feststellbar lagert und am Stützfuß 2 im Anstand von der Achse 7 um eine Querachse 12 schwenkbar ist. Im Bereich des Widerlagers 11 ist eine weitere Schwenkachse vorgesehen.The support foot 2 is pivotally mounted in the region of the extending end 8 of the lifting plunger 6 about a transverse axis 7 on the container 1 or on the side member 3. In the position shown in FIG. 1, the extending end 8 or the end 9 of the retracted plunger 6 is approximately at the height of the standing area, which is determined by the carrier 3. For fixing in this position, an oblique strut 10 is used, which is mounted in an abutment 11 either releasably or in the longitudinal direction of the support 3 and can be locked and is pivotable on the support foot 2 at a distance from the axis 7 about a transverse axis 12. A further pivot axis is provided in the area of the abutment 11.

Beim Betrieb in der Stellung nach Fig. 1 werden die Zylinder 4 aller Stützfüße des Containers über Druckschläuche mit einem Mengenteiler verbunden, der einer Pumpe nachgeordnet ist, die beispielsweise auf einem Transportfahrzeug montiert wird. Durch Entleeren bzw. Beaufschlagen der Zylinder 4 im Einfahrsinn der Hubstempel 6 kann der Container 1 aus der Stellung nach Fig. 1 auf die Standfläche 14 abgesenkt bzw. aus dieser abgesenkten Stellung durch Beaufschlagung der Zylinder 4 im Ausfahrsinn der Hubstempel 6 wieder angehoben werden. Bei Nichtgebrauch können die Stützfüße 2 in eine Ruhestellung nach Fig. 2 abgeklappt werden, in der sie parallel zu den Trägern 3 liegen. Es ist möglich, die Schwenkachse 7 am Container in ihrer Längsrichtung verstellbar und feststellbar abzustützen, so daß der Stützfuß 2 in der Stellung nach Fig. 2 unter den Containeraufbau versenkt und mit Hilfe einer Falle 15 gesichert ist, aus welcher Stellung er nach Lösen der Falle in Längsrichtung der Schwenkachse 7 verstellt werden kann, so daß er sich außerhalb der Seitenwand des Containers befindet und dann wahlweise in die Stellung nach Fig. 1 oder Fig. 3 geschwenkt und im Bedarfsfall mittels der Schrägstrebe 10 fixiert werden kann. Fig. 3 zeigt den Stützfuß 2 bei seinem normalen Einsatz als Stelzfuß.When operating in the position according to FIG. 1, the cylinders 4 of all the support feet of the container are connected via pressure hoses to a flow divider which is arranged downstream of a pump which is mounted, for example, on a transport vehicle. By emptying or loading the cylinders 4 in the retracting direction of the lifting rams 6, the container 1 can be lowered from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the base 14 or from this lowered position by loading the cylinders 4 the lifting plunger 6 can be raised again in the direction of extension. When not in use, the support feet 2 can be folded down into a rest position according to FIG. 2, in which they lie parallel to the supports 3. It is possible to support the pivot axis 7 on the container in its longitudinal direction so that it can be adjusted and locked, so that the support foot 2 is sunk under the container structure in the position according to FIG. 2 and is secured with the aid of a latch 15, from which position it comes after the latch has been released can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the pivot axis 7 so that it is located outside the side wall of the container and then optionally pivoted into the position according to FIG. 1 or FIG. 3 and, if necessary, can be fixed by means of the oblique strut 10. Fig. 3 shows the support foot 2 in its normal use as a pedestal.

Nach Fig. 4 sind für die Querachsen 7 der Stützfüße 2 an den Längsträgern 3 Führungsrohre 16 angebracht, in die die Querachsen 7 paarweise von den Enden her eingreifen. Die Achsen 7 besitzen Rastöffnungen, in die Verriegelungsstifte 17, die mit Betätigungshebeln 18 verbunden sind, eingesteckt werden können. Die Schwenkachsen sind somit herausziehbar und in verschiedenen Ausziehstellungen verriegelbar.According to FIG. 4, guide tubes 16 are attached to the longitudinal beams 3 for the transverse axes 7 of the support feet 2, into which the transverse axes 7 engage in pairs from the ends. The axes 7 have locking openings into which locking pins 17, which are connected to actuating levers 18, can be inserted. The swivel axes can thus be pulled out and locked in various extended positions.

Nach Fig. 5 besitzt ein Lastfahrzeug 19 Längsträger oder einen sonstigen Stützaufbau, auf dem heckseitig ein Schwenk- Stützlager 20 angebracht ist, das mit Fortsätzen in Endrasten 21 des Containers, die bei normalen Containern für den Eingriff von Hebezeugen vorgesehen sind, eingreift. Ein entsprechendes, allerdings nicht schwenkbares Stützlager 22 ist für das Vorderende des Containers 1 vorgesehen. Am Aufbau 19 sind noch nach der Seite hin, also quer zur Fahrzeuglängsrichtung horizontal ausziehbare Abstützschuhe 23 angebracht, die der Aufnahme und Abstützung der Enden 9 der Hubstempel 6 dienen.5, a truck 19 has longitudinal members or another support structure on which a swivel support bearing 20 is attached at the rear, which engages with extensions in end catches 21 of the container, which are provided in normal containers for the engagement of hoists. A corresponding, but not pivotable support bearing 22 is provided for the front end of the container 1. On the body 19, horizontally extendable support shoes 23 are attached to the side, that is to say transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, which serve to receive and support the ends 9 of the lifting rams 6.

Fig. 5 zeigt, daß man den Container 1 entweder bei in der Normalstellung im Endbereich des Containers angebrachten Hubstempeln, die, da die Strebe 10 angeklappt bleibt, um die Achse schwenkbar sind, kippen oder die Hubstempel gegen die Containermitte zu umstecken kann, zu welchem Zweck auch in diesem Bereich Rohre zur Aufnahme der Achse 7 und Stützschuhe 23 angebracht sind. In der entsprechenden Anordnung wurden die Bezugszeichen zusätzlich mit einem Strich versehen. In dieser Stellung ist ein steileres Kippen möglich, bei beiden Kippstellungen bleiben die heckseitigen Stützfüße 2 in ihrer an die Träger 3 angeklappten Stellung.Fig. 5 shows that the container 1 is either in the normal position in the end of the container brought lifting stamps, which, since the strut 10 remains folded, can pivot about the axis, or tilt the lifting stamps against the center of the container, for which purpose pipes for receiving the axis 7 and support shoes 23 are also attached in this area. In the corresponding arrangement, the reference symbols have also been provided with a line. In this position, a steeper tilting is possible, in both tilting positions the rear-side support feet 2 remain in their folded position on the carrier 3.

Die hydraulische Versorgungseinrichtung für die Stützfüße wird am Lastfahrzeug vorgesehen. Anschlußschläuche für die Stützfüße können ausziehbar auf unter dem Fahrzeugaufbau und den entsprechenden Lastträgern gelagerten Wickeltrommeln untergebracht sein, so daß jeder Stützfuß, für den am Fahrzeug ebenfalls Halterungen vorgesehen sein können, bei am Fahrzeug oder hinter dem Fahrzeug befindlichem Container angesteckt werden kann, bzw. sich beim Abladen eines Containers die Schläuche von den Trommeln abwickeln .The hydraulic supply device for the support feet is provided on the truck. Connection hoses for the support feet can be extendably accommodated on winding drums mounted under the vehicle body and the corresponding load carriers, so that each support foot, for which brackets can also be provided on the vehicle, can be plugged into or on the container located on the vehicle or behind the vehicle When unloading a container, unwind the hoses from the drums.

Wenn eine Einzelverstellung der Stützfüße zum Angleich an Unebenheiten der Standfläche erwünscht und eine Kippbarkeit des Containers nach Fig. 5 vorgesehen wird, kann man die einzelnen Stützfüße über den Mengenteiler und ein zugeordnetes Steuerorgan mit Einhebelbdienung wahlweise einzeln, gruppenweise oder gemeinsam im Ein- oder Ausfahrsinn beaufschlagbar vorsehen.If an individual adjustment of the support feet for adjustment to unevenness of the standing area is desired and the container can be tilted according to FIG. 5, the individual support feet can be acted upon individually, in groups or together in the entry or exit direction via the flow divider and an assigned control element with single lever operation provide.
