First, in FIG. 1, the left half I shows the structure of the shoreside shore lamp device, and the right half II shows the internal structure of the car carrier. First, I in FIG.
As shown in the section, the shore lamp device includes a vehicle loading / unloading section on the first floor 2, a lifter 11 that moves up and down on the first and second floors, a pallet sending section on the first and second floors, a vehicle moving section 7 on the second floor and a raising / lowering section on the second floor. It is composed of an inverted lamp 5. In such a shore lamp device, the vehicle is self-propelled on the quay and gets into the vehicle loading / unloading section 2 through the loading / unloading port 1 of the loading / unloading device. The pallet placed on the quay is placed on the pallet sending-out section 4 using a forklift or the like. Since the pallet 3 of the pallet sending-out unit 4 has been previously transferred to the vehicle loading / unloading section 2 by the conveyor 8 laid on the floor surface, the vehicle is loaded onto the pallet 3. It is also possible to fasten the vehicle to the pallet 3 at the time of boarding. Here, the pallet 3 is a vehicle loading / unloading section 2 and a lifter 1 with the vehicle being loaded.
The conveyor 12 laid on the floor of No. 1 transfers the lifter 11 to the lifter 11 in the vertical direction to the height of the vehicle moving unit 7 on the second floor and stops. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the pallet 3 is transported by the lifter 11 and the conveyor 8 laid on the floor of the vehicle moving unit 7 and moving in the traveling direction of the vehicle. At that time, the pallet 3 is transported by the ramp 5 stretched by the wire 6 and enters the ship through the entrance / exit 9 of the vehicle carrier II.
