JP 2005-8252 A

  Trucks and trailers that can be loaded with containers are not loaded with containers (such as flat body type trucks and platform trailers without sag), and loaded with containers (wing trucks, wing trailers, and van trailers with side doors) Or van truck). In some cases, a loaded container is transferred to a different type of container (for example, from a wing type packing box to a van type packing box), and a truck or a trailer is used. In such a case, the container is loaded and unloaded using a forklift (inserting a forklift claw into the fork pocket) when switching the use state.

  In general, when a container with an open top is loaded on a truck or trailer, the load loaded on the container is limited in height from the ground. In the case of a box-type container having a ceiling, the inner height of the container loaded on a truck or the like is limited by the height from the ground.

  However, in the structure of the conventional container with a fork pocket, the floor surface becomes higher by the height of the fork pocket, so that the loadable load height is reduced. That is, when the conventional container with a fork pocket is used, the load height that can be loaded is reduced by the height of the fork pocket, even though the fork pocket is not used except when the use state is switched. Resulting in.

  In view of the above situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a container that can increase the height of a load that can be loaded.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a pair of left and right container-side lower frames extending in the front-rear direction at both lower portions in the vehicle width direction, and is a container loaded on a truck or trailer, and extends in the vehicle width direction. The fork pockets defining the nail insertion space are detachably fixed to the upper surfaces of the left and right container side lower frames so as to straddle the left and right container side lower frames in a state in which the opening of the end surface of the nail insertion space is allowed.

  When the opening of the end surface of the nail insertion space is allowed, the end surface of the nail insertion space is not limited to the case where the end surface of the nail insertion space is always open while the fork pocket is fixed to the container-side lower frame. The case where the container is provided with the side surface forming member which divides the side of the loading area | region of a load so that opening is possible is included.

  When transshipping containers with the above configuration, or when switching between unloaded and loaded containers, fix the separately stored fork pockets on the upper surfaces of the left and right container-side lower frames and insert nails. A forklift claw is inserted from the end surface of the space, and the container is moved up and down by the forklift. When the container is used while being loaded on a truck or trailer, the fork pocket is removed from the container-side lower frame and stored.

  In this way, the fork pocket is detachably fixed to the upper surface of the container-side lower frame as necessary, so that the fork pocket is located above the floor of the load area compared to the case where the fork pocket is disposed below the floor of the load area. Can be set low, and the height of the load that can be loaded can be increased.

  According to the present invention, the load area can be lowered, and the height of the loadable load can be increased.
