- transport vehicles which comprise, on the one hand, rolling means comprising at least one pair of wheels intended to roll on the ground, on the other hand, a chassis surmounting said rolling means and, on the other hand, mounting means configured to mount said chassis over said rolling means.
- the chassis of such a transport vehicle includes side members and cross members, which connect said side members to one another, and which extend laterally relative to these side members.
- a chassis also includes at least one receiving means configured to receive at least one container which is then capable of resting on such a receiving means.
- a receiving means can be constituted by one of the side members and / or by one of the cross members of the chassis, more particularly by a bearing surface which comprises such a side member or such a cross member.
- all of the receiving means that the chassis comprises defines a receiving surface configured to receive at least one container.
- This chassis also comprises at least one holding means configured to laterally hold a container on the chassis.
- Such a holding means usually takes the form of a wedge, which extends vertically from the free end of a cross member, and which is projecting from the receiving surface.
- the object of the present invention is to propose a chassis for a transport vehicle which allows a crane operator to correctly identify the holding means and, thus, to be able to handle the containers appropriately with respect to these holding means, this so as to avoid any collision between such a container and such a holding means as well as degradation of the latter.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a container transport vehicle which allows a person located near this vehicle to be warned of the presence of this vehicle.
- Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a transport vehicle in which the holding means can be identified by a crane operator, this despite the various handling operations and the possible degradations that such a vehicle may undergo, in particular due to these handling operations.
- the present invention seeks to remedy the drawbacks of transport vehicles of the state of the art.
- the invention relates to a chassis for a transport vehicle of at least one container, this chassis comprises, on the one hand, at least one receiving means configured to receive at least one container capable of resting on said at least receiving means and, on the other hand, at least one holding means configured to laterally hold such a container on said chassis.

- the crane operator can handle a container so as to avoid this container striking such a holding means. Consequently, the risk of degradation of such a holding means is significantly reduced for the chassis of the transport vehicle of the invention.
- the presence of such a signaling means also, and advantageously, allows a person, located near a transport vehicle, to identify this vehicle and, thus, to be able to take into account the presence of this vehicle during moving or handling objects.
- the chassis comprises at least one protection means, each configured to protect said at least one signaling means.
- the presence of such a protection means advantageously makes it possible, during the handling of the containers and despite the risk of collision between such a container and said at least one signaling means, to prevent such a signaling means from being subjected to degradations.
- the presence of such a means of protection then makes it possible, despite the handling of the containers, to retain the possibility of locating such a means of maintenance, this in a lasting manner.
