  • Patent number: 12233741
    Abstract: The vehicle for container transport includes a chassis mounted on top of a rolling device and at least one housing of a battery for a self-contained electric power supply of an electric motor for driving all or part of the rolling device. There is a housing defined as a recess extending from at least one of the sides of the chassis and including a device for lateral insertion and support of at least one battery module and a device for electrical interconnection with the module. The device for insertion and support includes, at the bottom of the recess, a support base on which at least one battery module, or even a plurality of these modules, can rest. Advantageously, at the height of the support base, on the periphery and inside a recess, abutment flanges are provided to ensure that at least one battery module is immobilized transversely and longitudinally.

  • Publication number: 20180005181
    Abstract: There is the method of loading and unloading containers in a port facility. The facility includes quayside cranes, automated gantries for stacking/unstacking containers, vehicles for transporting containers, communication lanes for vehicles including transit lanes under each quayside crane and parallel circulation lanes situated between the quayside cranes and access lanes to the automated gantries. The method includes managing journeys of the vehicles as a function of the container removal and placement requirements, in particular the allocating to each vehicle of a task and of a destination and the selecting of a provisional parking site for the vehicles in transit in buffer zones provided for this purpose. The vehicles are assigned to provisional parking sites under the cranes and/or in the proximal circulation lane of the cranes, which are used as a buffer zone.

  • Patent number: 8954237
    Abstract: The invention relates to a central module for a modular vehicle. The module is characterized in that it comprises, on either side of a loading surface, a first end having a first junction surface and a second end opposite said first end having a second junction surface that is symmetrical nonparallel to said first surface, each of the latter designed to be capable of complementarily engaging with a complementary junction surface of a side module capable of engaging with the central module by buttressing assembly. The invention relates to a modular vehicle comprising such a module. The vehicle is characterized in that the latter is assembled, at each end thereof, to a side module, one side module comprising means for running on the ground. The invention relates to a train of vehicles comprising such a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8636303
    Abstract: The invention relates to a module for the modular frame of a heavy load transport vehicle, characterized in that it comprises, at one end thereof, a junction surface having an oblique bearing surface extending between two parallel planar surfaces inclined relative to the previous one. The invention also relates to a method for mounting such modules. The invention relates to a frame that comprises at least two such modules in which the junction surfaces together define an assembly with an oblique scarf joint, an unabutting scarf joint or key joint. The invention also relates to a harbor vehicle comprising at least one such frame and at least one such module.
