  • Patent number: 8267626
    Abstract: A transportation unit, such as a wagon and/or train, includes at least one plate-shaped alignment unit, which can rotate about a vertical axis, for picking up a vehicle from a ramp and aligning it. The length of the vehicle exceeds a useful width of the transportation unit, but the width of the vehicle does not project beyond the transportation unit. The alignment unit is mounted on the floor of the transportation unit so as to rotate on a carrier track. The transportation unit carries respective flaps which can pivot onto the ramp or ramps and onto which the carrier tracks extend and as a result also support the alignment unit in a rotated, partially projecting-out state at that location.
