Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a flat rack container, and in particular, a flat rack container that can be used as a full-length flan one-track container, a half-hide flat rack container, or a flat bed as required. , regarding flat rack containers with excellent transportation efficiency.

A flat rack container does not have side panels, a roof, or an end panel, and is made up of a strongly constructed floor member with corner posts at each of the four corners.It is mainly made of lumber, It is used to transport large cargo such as construction machinery and industrial machinery, and is covered with tarpaulin etc. as necessary.

[Conventional technology]

Hitherto, as a flat rack container of this kind that can be used for multiple purposes, there has been provided, for example, a flat rack container (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-124282, Utility Model Application No. 59-141092), which has already been filed by the applicant of the present invention.

The flat rack container was constructed such that corner posts provided at the four corners of the floor member were foldable on both sides of the floor member, and could be used as a full-hide flat rack container or a flat bed.

That is, by standing up each corner post, the container could be used as a flat rack container with a height determined by the length of the corner post, that is, a full-hide flat rack container. In addition, if each corner post is folded, it is configured similarly to a so-called general cargo transportation pallet, i.e., a flatbed, and can be transported in accordance with various cargo formats, and can be used for example when not in use or when not in use. They can be stacked in a stable manner during transportation, and can be stored and transported safely and economically.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the conventional flat rack container mentioned above, when cargo that is lower than the height of the corner post is loaded and transported, a wasted space is created in the upper part of the container. This had the disadvantage of reducing transport efficiency by half.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and provides a flat rack container that can be used not only as a full-hide flat rack container or a flat bed, but also as a half-hide flat rack container.

In other words, when transporting cargo with a low height, using a half-hide flat rack container eliminates wasted space at the top, increases the number of stacks in a given space, and improves transport efficiency. It will improve.

Means for Solving Problem C] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises an upper part (6) and a lower part (7) at the four corners of the floor member (1), and the upper part ( 6) and the lower part (7) are respectively constructed by providing foldable corner posts (5) (5α) on both sides of the floor member (1).
