Abstract: The invention comprises a method of loading or unloading a transportable container onto or from a transporting vehicle. The method involves engaging each of the four corner regions of the container (3) with an apparatus (1, 43) having a powered extendable and retractable leg (2). To unload the container from the transporting vehicle shown in Fig. 5, each leg (2) is synchronously lowered so that they engage the ground surface and accordingly lift the container (3). The transporting vehicle is then moved from under the container (3). Alternatively, if the container (3) is to be loaded onto the transporting vehicle shown in Fig 5, the deck of the transporting vehicle is positioned under the container (3) once the legs (2) have been lowered. Then, synchronously each of the legs (2) is raised so as to lower the container (3) onto the ground or to lower the container (3) onto the deck of the transporting vehicle. Each apparatus (1, 43) is then disengaged from the corner regions of the container (3). The invention also relates to the apparatus for loading or unloading a container (3) onto or from a transporting vehicle. Four lifting devices (1, 43) are provided each having an extendable leg (2) formed by a piston and cylinder assembly. Each lifting device (1, 43) has a peg (4) which engages an upper aperture in a container (3), a second locating means (20) is provided for engaging the lower part of the container (3) and a foot (31) for contacting the ground surface. The apparatus can be used to relocate containers (3).

Abstract translation: 本发明包括一种将运输容器装载到运输车辆上或从运输车辆卸载的方法。 该方法包括将容器（3）的四个角区域中的每一个与具有动力可伸缩和伸缩腿（2）的装置（1，43）接合。 从图1所示的运输车辆卸下容器。 如图5所示，每个腿部（2）同步下降，使得它们接合地面并相应地提升容器（3）。 然后，运送车辆从容器（3）下方移动。 或者，如果要将容器（3）装载到图5所示的运输车辆上，一旦腿部（2）已经下降，则运输车辆的甲板位于容器（3）下方。 然后，同步地将每个腿部（2）升起以将容器（3）下降到地面上或将容器（3）下降到运输车辆的甲板上。 然后，每个装置（1,2,3）从容器（3）的角部区域脱开。 本发明还涉及用于将容器（3）装载或卸载到运输车辆上或从运输车辆卸载的装置。 提供四个提升装置（1，43），每个起重装置具有由活塞和气缸组件形成的可伸长腿部（2）。 每个提升装置（1,2,3）具有与容器（3）中的上孔接合的钉（4），设置有用于与容器（3）的下部接合的第二定位装置（20） 31）用于接触地面。 该装置可用于搬运容器（3）。
