Abstract: A device for loading and/or unloading a freight transport compartment includes using at least one conveyer unit that is installed in a loading area, the conveyer unit being capable of conveying in particular several goods units simultaneously. The invention reduces the costs and increases the flexibility of a loading/unloading device by providing the conveyer unit with at least one element that can be guided into the freight transport compartment and that forms a positioning surface for the goods units.

Abstract: An apparatus for filling containers (B) with articles (P2), has a filling station (6), a container conveyor (3) by means of which containers (B) which are to be filled are fed into the filling station (6), at least one article conveyor (2) for conveying the articles (P2) into a region of the filling station (6), and at least one filling unit (7) by means of which a filling space of the containers (B) which are to be filled is filled with the fed articles (P2) in the filling station (6). The apparatus has filling aids (4, 5), at least in the region of the filling station (6), for at least some of the containers (B), the filling aids deforming these containers (B) before they are filled in the filling station (6) or enlarging the filling openings thereof or forming filling guides for these containers (B). This easily allows containers (B) to be completely filled even if the containers (B) have been transported in the partially filled state.
