摘要:
A system and method for automated handling, transferring and storing conventional cargo storage containers on a cargo ship wherein the containers are stored in a multi-tier cell system and are manipulated by powered transfer units which are selectively moveable along an intersecting overhead track system such that containers may be simultaneously retrieved from, moved or placed within any of the cells of the ship. The transfer units are equipped both with hoists, which control spreader beams which are selectively secured to the cargo containers, and guide stabilizers, which prevent undesirable movement of the cargo containers when they are elevated above the cell structures such that the containers may be manipulated even during rough sea conditions such that the system is essentially continuously operable as a floating supply distribution system.

A method and apparatus for permitting construction equipment, and particularly backhoe loaders, to be transported in the hold of a seagoing vessel within the interior of an enclosed cargo container includes front and rear rollers that temporarily replace the wheels of the equipment and allow it to be driven into and out of the container without any disassembly of the equipment.

A safety and restraint assembly allows transition of palletized cargo into a cargo bay and prevents the palletized cargo from inadvertently rolling backwards out through the cargo bay door. The assembly includes a wedge-shaped, spring-loaded, anti-rollout component that rotates downward as force from a pallet is applied to the anti-rollout component during loading of pallets, and the anti-rollout component returns to its original position after the pallet has traversed entirely over the anti-rollout component. The assembly also includes a folding restraint pawl for vertical restraint of adjacent pallets during transport. In an engaged position, the restraint pawl snaps into a slot in the anti-rollout component.

A lashing device includes a stretching device which is to be fastened between two fixing points that are to be secured to one another, the stretching device including stretching device parts which are each connectible to one of the fixing points. At least a first stretching device part has a stretching rod extending in the longitudinal direction of the stretching device and has a threaded portion. A second stretching device part supports a nut part which is to be screwed onto the thread of the first stretching device part. Between the first and the second stretching device part, a coupling part is arranged which, by snap action, allows mutual rotation of the two stretching device parts in at least a direction of rotation which corresponds to tightening of the stretching device and counteracts rotation in the opposite direction.

The present invention provides a transportation frame for an oversize container or the like and a method of installing the frame onto the container or the like. The transportation frame includes a top frame body comprising two top corner fittings each provided with a top corner fitting hole, a bottom frame body comprising two bottom corner fittings each provided with a bottom corner fitting hole, and a plurality of posts each having two ends connected to the top frame body and the bottom frame body respectively. The orientations of the two top corner fitting holes and the distance therebetween, and the orientations of the two bottom corner fitting holes and the distance therebetween satisfy the requirements for coupling with corner fittings of neighboring stacked containers. With the invention, non-standard containers may be easily hoisted, stacked and transported. Moreover, the transportation frame can be easily operated and stored while being reusable.

The present invention provides a method of securing freight containers on a deck of a large ship, and a spring lashing bar, a space adjuster and a securing system used in the method. In the method of the present invention, a movable lift is installed on a rail provided on a lashing bridge so as to be movable in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. Freight containers are aligned with each other using tensile force generated in a horizontal direction by a container aligning device provided on a work table provided on the movable lift. The freight containers are coupled to each other using twistlocks in a vertical direction. Subsequently, adjacent left and right containers are coupled to each other using couplers and variable type coupling devices such that the freight containers are integrated with each other along an entire width of the ship or some width thereof.
摘要:
A container transportation system and method which includes a number of enclosed containers adapted to contain freight and protect the freight in a marine environment, a vehicle adapted to lift, transport, orient and place the containers on a support surface, a marine vessel having a container storage deck with sufficient strength to support the vehicle when the vehicle is transporting a fully loaded one of the containers, and a ramp shaped to extend from an associated dock to the deck and having sufficient strength to support the vehicle when the vehicle is transporting a fully loaded one of the containers, and having sufficient strength such that an angle of inclination of the ramp suspended between the deck and an associated dock allows the vehicle to traverse the ramp without slipping. The vehicle engages a single one of the containers on the associated dock, then proceeds to transport the container over the ramp to desired, predetermined locations on the deck for transportation by the marine vessel. In a preferred embodiment, the containers include corner castings and the system includes twistlocks which interconnect the corner casings of the containers, and attach the containers to the deck, thereby eliminating the need for lashing and other securing devices. When the marine vessel carrying the containers reaches the port of destination, the process is reversed, with the lifting vehicle removing the containers from a stacked configuration on the deck, transporting them over a ramp extending between the deck and an associated dock, and stacking or otherwise storing the containers on the dock. Also in the preferred embodiment, the vehicle is a reach stacker.

A positioning assembly includes a connecting rod, a pivot pin, and a hook member. The connecting rod has a U-shaped end with opposing first and second arm portions which cooperatively define a gap therebetween and which are respectively formed with first and second through-holes. The first arm portion is formed with a first flange that projects outwardly and that converges from a periphery of the first through-hole. The second arm portion is formed with a second flange that projects inwardly from a periphery of the second through-hole. The first and second flanges confine first and second openings, respectively. The pivot pin extends into the first and second through-holes, and has a diameter greater than dimensions of the first and second openings so as to be limited in the first and second through-holes. The hook member has a pivot end that is disposed in the gap and that is rotatably sleeved on the pivot pin.

A positioning assembly includes an elongated container-connecting unit with a lower connecting seat formed with a threaded hole, a platform-connecting rod with an externally threaded portion for engaging the threaded hole and an upper end surface formed with a limiting stud, which has a non-circular cross-sectioned engaging stud portion, and a limiting seat formed with a limiting hole, which has a non-circular engaging hole portion that engages fittingly the engaging stud portion to arrest rotation of the platform-connecting rod within the threaded hole, thereby positioning the platform-connecting rod relative to the container-connecting unit.
