Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flat container.
  • the invention also relates to a method for transporting vehicles having, in particular, a weight of at least 350 kg.
  • Shipping vehicles such as cars, trailers, trucks, buses and the like is usually done by container.
  • One, two or three vehicles are then loaded one behind the other into a container and then the container is loaded into a ship.
  • a different manner of shipping over water is, for instance, per ro-ro-ship ("roE on, roll off) where the vehicles to be transported are driven directly into the ship.
  • roE on, roll off per ro-ro-ship
  • Transport to or from the ship further takes place for instance per car train carriage or truck trailer, in particular a "car transporter", so that the respective vehicles are to be transferred to or from the ship, respectively.
  • This transferring takes up relatively much time and may cause damage.
  • the vertical space which could be available on train carriages is not optimally utilized.
  • car train carriages especially designed for transporting cars, often return empty.
  • flat containers also called for instance but not exclusively “flat rack containers” or “flats ".
  • These typically consist of a loading floor provided with a front and rear wall so that several flat containers can be stacked one onto the other.
  • the height of the floor surface of conventional fiat containers i.e. the distance between a base and the supporting surface is often approximately 250 mm or 600 mm, so that a load to be transported thereon is located relatively high, at least measured from the container to the underside of the foot.
  • Conventional closed containers often have a floor surface height of, for instance, 170 mm or more. However, they are provided with a roof, so that the space which is gained at the bottom is partly lost again at the top when compared to a flat container. It is an object of the invention to provide an alternative container for transporting vehicles in particular of at least 350 kg over land and/or water, i.e. by railroad, via inland navigation or sea, road etc.
  • a flat container comprising a loading floor having a length of at least fourteen feet, suitable for supporting several vehicles of, in particular, each at least 350 kg, which container is provided with at least one foot, wherein the loading floor has a floor surface for supporting the wheels of a vehicle, which floor surface has at least largely a height of approximately 100 mm or less from the underside of the at least one foot of the container, wherein an undersurface of this loading floor is located higher than the underside of the at least one foot.
  • the vertical height of a flat container according to the invention loaded with at least one vehicle can be substantially determined by the height of the at least one vehicle, so that the flat container takes up less vertical space than a conventional closed container.
  • the height of the roof is determined in advance.
  • the floor surface of the flat container according to the invention is located at a low level with respect to a conventional flat container, the vehicle to be transported is located less high than is the case with conventional flat or closed containers and additional space is gained, at least in vertical direction.
  • the center of gravity is held at a relatively low level. Despite the low level of the loading floor, the undersurface of the loading floor is still so high that the base will not be damaged when the loading floor sags.
  • the above mentioned objects and/or other objects can further be achieved with a method for transporting vehicles having a weight of at least preferably at least approximately 350 kg per vehicle with the aid of a flat container, wherein the flat container is provided with a loading floor which is at least fourteen feet long, and wherein the container bears on at least one foot, wherein at least one vehicle is driven onto the loading floor so that the underside of at least one of the tires of the at least one vehicle is located at most 100 mm higher than the underside of the at least one foot of the container.

  • the length L is at least approximately fourteen feet. In this specification, approximately is at least understood to mean that a deviation is possible of at least 10% of a value to which the expression relates, unless indicated otherwise.
  • the flat container 1 is suitable for supporting several vehicles 3, in particular vehicles of at least approximately 350 kg each and/or a joint weight of at least approximately 700 kg or an average weight of more than approximately 350 kg per vehicle.
  • Vehicles which are suitable to be transported according to the invention comprise, for instance but not exclusively, cars, motor bikes, buses, caravans, motor homes, trucks, low speed vehicles, trailers and the like.
  • An illustrative example of a container 1 according to the invention is for instance suitable for one long heavy truck or, for instance, five cars, depending on the type of truck or car.

  • this floor surface 7 can have a height H of approximately 20 mm, measured from the underside 5 of the feet 4. Owing to a limited height H of for instance only approximately 20 mm, or even less, the vehicle 3 is located advantageously low, and a loaded container 1 will take up relatively little space in vertical direction.
  • Other advantageous heights H are, for instance, approximately 50 mm or less, or approximately 100 mm or less.
  • the loading floor 2 has a thickness d and is provided with an undersurface 8 which can be located substantially parallel to the floor surface 7.

  • the rest of the floor surface 7 has a height h of approximately 20 mm, or less, so that during transport, the vehicles 3 are still located at a low level.

  • the cross reinforcements 9 comprise indentations 10 for sliding in the fork of the fork lift truck.
  • These indentations 10 are preferably provided at least near the ends 11 of the loading floor 2, so that the loading floor 2 can be engaged by a lift truck near each of the ends 11.
