System for transporting, transferring, and/or storing goods

A system for transporting, transferring, or storing goods, particularly general cargo goods in the wholesale and retail trade, wherein the system comprises:

• stackable receiving containers, each having:
• a base;
• a peripheral side wall;
• and
• an upper opening for receiving goods during transport or during storage;
• stacking structures in a region of the base;
• first mating structures formed in a region of an upper edge of the peripheral side wall facing the upper opening, wherein the stacking structures are configured to interact with the first mating structures of another receiving container thereby enabling the stackable receiving containers to be stacked one on top of the other in a positively locking manner within a plane of the base;
• at least one roller transport unit having:
• a set-up surface for at least one receiving container;
• a bottom side opposite the set-up surface;
• roller means;
• wherein the set-up surface includes receiving structures corresponding to the stacking structures for setting up the receiving containers in a positively locking manner within a plane of the set-up surface;
• and
• at least one locking bar having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end and being adjustable in length;
• a first hook structure provided at the first longitudinal end for detachably hooking onto the upper edge of an uppermost receiving container of a stack of the stackable receiving containers;
• a second hook structure provided at the second longitudinal end for detachably hooking onto a second mating structure on the at least one roller transport unit;
• a releasable fixing mechanism provided on the at least one locking bar intermediate the first hook structure and the second hook structure;
• said releasable fixing mechanism being operable for limiting the length of the at least one locking bar, said releasable fixing mechanism being settable to a selected dimension to limit the length of the at least one locking bar to said selected dimension;
• and
• wherein the at least one locking bar clampingly retains the stack of stacked receiving containers in engagement with the at least one roller transport unit such that the upper edge of the uppermost receiving container is maintained transverse to a plane of the set-up surface of the at least one roller transport unit during transport and during storage.
