  • Publication number: 20120221186
    Abstract: Methods and devices to physically stabilize a unit load of stapled unit loads such as at least two standard containers applied atop each other and on top of at least one Automatically Controlled Vehicle (AGV), during transport of the load in all directions on the ground. The AGV arranged below the unit load has at least one wheel-bogie having at least one wheel at each corner, the bogie being controllably pivotable at its geometrical center to a frame of the AGV with each wheel being controllably pivotable at its respective fixation points. During transport in a longitudinal direction of the total unit, each bogie is translated to a diagonal position in relation to its position of introduction as the wheels simultaneously are controlled so as to maintain their rolling direction in the direction of transport, so as to enhance the traction of the AGV.

  • Patent number: 7229058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) to support the front end (2A) of a trailer (2) when the aforementioned trailer is parked on board vessels (3) and other vehicles, comprising connecting means (4, 5) for the detachable attachment of the support (1) respectively to a 10 trailer of the kind in question and to a mobile loading vehicle (6). The support in this case is in the form of a stand (1) with support legs (7, 8) situated at a mutual distance (A) from one another and with a crossbar (9) extending between them. Tensioning devices (12, 13), such as straps, lines, ropes or chains, are capable of being accumulated internally inside the support stand (1). These are so arranged as to be capable of detachable attachment to the deck (10) of the vessel and of being tensioned. The legs (7, 8) of the support stand exhibit friction-increasing means (51) to increase the friction with the deck (10) of a vessel.

  • Patent number: 6709208
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for a cargo handling system which is arranged for use on board a ship. Long lane dividers, which are in the form of profiles, are so arranged as to be laid out on the deck of a ship along the longitudinal extent of the intended desired cargo lane. Attachment devices matching existing standard openings in the deck and capable of being introduced vertically into these attach the lane dividers to the deck. At least a number of the aforementioned lane dividers exhibit recesses to accommodate locking devices for the purpose of locking a cargo securely to them.
