  • Patent number: 5775753
    Abstract: Equipment for loading box containers with flat boxes containing a plurality of glass sheets in standing alignment. The equipment includes two parallel horizontal and spaced-apart beams connected at one end, of which the lower beam carries a box and inserts it into the container, while the upper beam features a loop attached to a crane hook and is carried across the container top. The lower beam is positioned in contact with one side of the box to be lifted and is provided with two spaced-apart grippers in the form of short bars which can be swung about pivots to either side of the beam, each serving to support a lug protruding from either end of the box. The equipment is characterized in that no portion of the lower beam protrudes beyond the top of the box, thereby permitting loading of boxes of a height almost co-extensive with the inner height of the container.
