Abstract
A device and method for efficient transport of passenger cars or similar, with a high environmental and energy saving result, including, for example, a two-dimensional framework, a connecting element positioned and attached in a third dimension perpendicular to the framework. The two-dimensional framework and the connecting element together form a framework body of the device. A fastening device for vertical attachment and storage of a passenger car is provided. The passenger cars are placed vertically suspended in the container device such that the use of volume is significantly improved compared to prior solutions.
Claims17
A device for transport and storage of passenger cars comprising:
- at least one two-dimensional framework,
- at least one connecting element positioned and attached in the third dimension perpendicular to said at least one two-dimensional framework,
- wherein said two-dimensional framework and said connecting element together form a framework body of said device,
- wherein:
- the device further comprises at least one fastening device for vertical attachment and storage of a passenger car so that the passenger car is arranged vertically,
- wherein said framework body comprises a vertical center structure along the center line of the device,
- wherein said at least one fastening device is arranged towards said vertical center structure so that a passenger car is arranged in vertical direction with the bottom plate of the passenger car facing said vertical center structure and the front end of the passenger car facing upwards, and
- wherein the cross-sectional shape of said framework body in the lateral direction of the device is limited to established maximum cross-sectional dimensions according to railway standard;
- wherein the length of said device in said longitudinal direction is larger than the width of the device in said lateral direction, and
- wherein said vertical center structure is pivotal around its horizontal center line.
