Abstract: For picking up and depositing a hollow receptacle such as a bin, container or the like by/on a vehicle with a change gear mechanism having a tilting frame pivoted in the back on the undercarriage of the vehicle and movable by a tilting cylinder supported on the undercarriage, and furthermore having a coulisse displaceable on the tilting frame by associated actuating elements and equipped with a stop element capable of being engaged with the associated fitting on the receptacle, the coulisse, for depositing the receptacle, is first retracted until the rear end of the receptacle projects beyond the back of the vehicle by a predetermined measure. Subsequently, the tilting frame is utilized until the lower zone on the rear end of the receptacle rests on the surface of the roadway.

Abstract: Container for the loading of bulk materials, such as construction debris, rubbish, industrial waste and the like which, for purposes of interstackability, displays outwardly slanting sides and glide elements enabling it to slide fully supported along the upper longitudinal edges of the container immediately below it in the stack, which edges function as longitudinal guides. To achieve this additonal interstackability, in particular with filled containers, glide elements, adjustable with respect to position, have been provided on the container. The guide elements are in such a way that when in their end position in the lower section of the container, they are positioned over the respective longitudinal edge of the container located immediately below it in the stack. Each glide element is arranged on a positioning element which is secured in adjustable, movable position on the container by a locking element mounted on the container.

Abstract: A locking device for the transport of containers, in particular, lift-on lift-off containers which, by means of a lifting device, for example, a lift-on lift-off mechanism, can beloaded onto the back of a transport vehicle comprises adjusting elements arranged on the underside of the contain at the level of the container's loading surface, as well as arresting elements arranged on the loading surface. For each arresting element, an adjusting element associated with it is maintained in the in-transit position of the container. Adjusting elements and arresting elements are configured as reciprocally intermeshable form-fitting elements.
