Transport device

Abstract

The invention relates to a transport device (10) for piece goods, comprising a base part (14) which has a base plate (16) and side walls (18) which are elevated from the base plate (16) and are circumferential, the side walls (18) delimiting a placement surface of the base plate (16), a number of first compartments (22), wherein each of the first compartments (22) has circumferential walls (24) which each have a lower edge on the placement surface, an intermediate base (26) which bears on the first compartments (22) and has a downwardly projecting edge (28), which surrounds the first compartments (22) at upper edges (24b) of their circumferential walls (24), and an upwardly pointing further placement surface (30), a number of second compartments (32), wherein each of the second compartments (32) has circumferential walls (34) which each have a lower edge (34a) on the further placement surface (30), and wherein the first and second compartments (22, 32) are foldable for the purpose of volume reduction. The intermediate base (26) has two base parts (44, 46) which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, have each a part (50, 52) of the further placement surface (30) and are pivotable relative to one another about a pivot axis (48) up to a contact of the parts (50, 52) of the further placement surface (30), wherein each of the base parts (44, 46) has a rectangular or square contour, one side (56, 58) of which is shorter than both sides of the placement surface and the other side (60, 62) of which is shorter than at least one of the sides of the placement surface.
