Abstract

Der Transport von Fahrzeugen vom Hersteller zum Kunden erfordert insbesondere dann, wenn es sich um einen überseeischen Transport handelt, ein mehrfaches Umladen der Fahrzeuge. Dazu mußten die Fahrzeuge bislang mehrfach umgefahren werden. Um das zu vermeiden werden transportkäfigartige Vorrichtungen verwendet, die nach dem Prinzip von Containern mit den Fahrzeugen umgeschlagen werden können. Bekannte Vorrichtungen dieser Art verfügen über ein relativ hohes Gewicht und sind auch problematisch zu handhaben.The transportation of vehicles from the manufacturer to the customer requires especially if it is overseas Transport acts, a multiple reloading of the vehicles. To So far, the vehicles had to be driven around several times. To do that to avoid transport cage-like devices are used, which handled the principle of containers with the vehicles can be. Known devices of this type have a relatively high weight and are also problematic to handle.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung verfügt über lastaufnehmende Seitenwände (21), die schwenkbar oder verschiebbar mit dem Boden (12) der Vorrichtung verbunden sind. Die Seitenwände (21) stabilisieren den Boden (12), wodurch die gesamte Vorrichtung leichter als herkömmliche Vorrichtungen dieser Art ausgebildet sein können. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht das Herunterschwenken bzw. Verschieben der Seitenwände (21) den freien Zugang der Seiten der Kraftfahrzeuge. Dadurch wird vor allem das Ein- und Austeigen von Fahrern erleichtert und es werden Beschädigungen der Türen und sonstiger Teile der Kraftfahrzeuge (10) vermieden.

Figure 00000001
The device according to the invention has load-bearing side walls (21) which are pivotally or displaceably connected to the bottom (12) of the device. The side walls (21) stabilize the floor (12), whereby the entire device can be made lighter than conventional devices of this type. In addition, the pivoting down or moving the side walls (21) allows free access to the sides of the motor vehicles. Above all, this makes it easier for drivers to get on and off and damage to the doors and other parts of the motor vehicles (10) is avoided.
