  • Universal chassis for hauling containers
    Patent number: 4566714
    Abstract: A universal shipping container chassis is disclosed wherein shipping containers of various lengths can be readily accommodated and securely held thereto for transit. A rear wheel assembly includes a load-bearing portion adapted to securely receive and support one end portion of a shipping container; a fifth wheel assembly also includes a load-bearing portion which is adapted to securely receive and support a second end portion of said shipping container. The fifth wheel assembly is coupled to a truck tractor such that the chassis may be readily towed. The wheel assemblies are coupled one to the other by an elongate extensible stinger that is readily adjusted in extent to bring the wheel assemblies closer together for shorter containers and to space the wheel assemblies further apart for longer containers. The stinger includes a locking mechanism for securing it to the wheel assemblies at locations thereby providing a selected extension of the stinger that corresponds to the shipping container's length.
