Vehicle trailer carrying roll=on=roll=off ship containers - has lever lifting units controlled by counter-pressure mechanism

摘要

The articulated trailer (20), can be raised and lowered at the vehicle connection end (22), with lever lifting and lowering units (23 24) for the carrier (21) with feet (58) which support the goods being transported. A counter pressure mechanism (36 60) attached to an arm (38) moveable about an axis (40) contacts the upper surface of the carrier (21) such that under all loading conditions the lever lifting units can be actuated. USE/ADVANTAGE - Reliable system for unloading large containers from articulated trailers onto the decks of Ro-ro ships.
