  • US 2015267445 A1 discloses a container locking mechanism that comprises: a locking rod constructed so as it is pilotable between a first open position and a second closed position; a locking member one end of which is securely connected to a locking rod and the other end of which may cooperate with the container door when a locking mechanism is mounted on the container, the locking member may be separated from the door when the locking rod is rotated to the first open position and may lock the door when the locking rod is rotated to the second closed position; a slidable block which may move slideably in a reciprocating motion; and a first driving connection one end of which is fixed to the slidable block, where the reciprocal movement of the block may drive the locking rod by means of the first driving connection so as it is rotated between the first open position and the second closed position.
  • Document US 2014312638 A1 discloses a container spreader assembly comprising: a spreader having container coupling devices, for coupling and decoupling the container; a device for coupling a cover, mounted to the spreader, where this device has an actuator for setting a coupling frame in the vicinity of the container cover, where the frame is arranged for coupling the cover so as it can be moved by relative the container by the actuator.
  • This invention also enables use of containers of a higher load-carrying capacity to enhance efficiency of transportation of containers as well as enables use of containers of diverse sizes.
  • the invention provides a system for transporting and unloading containers for goods, in particular for bulk material, comprising a container suited to a container spreader with a system of rotatable locking pins for catching the container, comprising a bottom wall, side walls, a rear wall and a front wall in a form of a hatch pivotable abut its upper edge, possessing a hatch locking mechanism and a catching assembly with a catch for locking the hatch in a closed position, and comprising a container spreader with a system of rotatable locking pins actuated by means of actuators for catching the container.
  • the system of the invention is characterized in that the container hatch locking mechanism is positioned along a vertical edge of a side wall of the container at the hatch side and comprises a tie rod the upper end of which is coupled with a button to activate the locking mechanism, and the container spreader has at least one actuator for opening the container hatch, cooperating with the hatch locking mechanism.
  • a lever is secured to the bottom end of the tie rod, the opposite end of the lever being connected to the catch that locks the container hatch in a closed position.
  • the lever of the locking mechanism at the site where it is connected to the tie rod, abuts the bottom edge of the container wall by means of a spring and securing elements.
  • the tie rod is provided with a grip.
  • the opening actuator cooperates with a hatch locking mechanism upon coupling of the container with the container spreader by means of rotatably locking pins.
  • the container hatch locking mechanism is positioned at the front edges of both side walls of the container at the hatch side.
  • the container is provided with a running gear being a bogies.
  • the bogies are bogies of a railway type.
