The invention relates to a lifting device (2) for containers (18), especially ISO containers (18) which can be handled by container handling devices (1), comprising a drive means for traction means (16), which is arranged on a supporting frame (3) in order to raise and lower the container (18) by means of a load-receiving means arranged on the lower end of the traction means (16). In order to create a low-volume lifting device for a container handling device, requiring only a small amount of bridging height, the drive means comprises at least one hydraulic cylinder (4) with a piston and a piston rod (5) whose longitudinal displacement is converted into a synchronous upward and downward movement of at least two distanced horizontal guiding cross-bars (10a, 10b) which are respectively connected to the upper ends of the traction means (16), said guiding cross-bars (10a, 10b) being guided on both ends on vertical carriers of the supporting frame (3).
A lifting device for containers which can be handled by means of container handling equipment, said lifting device comprising:
