Abstract
A transport assembly for a shipping module which has a chassis; a towing element secured to the chassis; two opposed wheels mounted on the chassis; a support assembly secured to the chassis and configured to be positioned in a mating relationship with a shipping module proximate to a lower transverse edge of the shipping module; means for removably securing the support assembly to a shipping module; and a displacement actuator secured between the chassis and the cradle, said displacement actuator for varying the ground clearance of a shipping module when secured to the support assembly.
Claims12
A shipping assembly comprising:
- a rectilinear shipping module of interrelated and pivotally connected wall, floor and ceiling components of a structure for occupancy, the shipping module having a lower first transverse edge, a lower second transverse edge and a length;
- a first transport assembly and a second transport assembly, each transport assembly comprising a chassis;
- two opposed wheels pivotally mounted on the chassis to permit the transport assembly to be steered;
- means for fixing the angular orientation of the two opposed wheels at a select one of multiple angular orientations, so as to be able to vary the turning radius of the shipping assembly;
- a support assembly secured to the chassis and adapted to be positioned in a mating relationship with the shipping module proximate to a lower transverse edge of the shipping module;
- means for removably securing the support assembly to the shipping module;
- and a displacement actuator secured between the chassis and the support assembly, said displacement actuator for varying the ground clearance of the shipping module when secured to the support assembly;
- the first transport assembly removably secured in a mating relationship with the shipping module proximate to the lower first transverse edge thereof, and the second transport assembly removably secured in a mating relationship with the shipping module proximate to the lower second transverse edge thereof;
- and
- a towing element secured to the chassis of the first transport assembly.
