An electricity supply device for transport containers such as refrigerator containers, comprising a structure adapted to be arranged on a container, the structure comprising:
- twistlock securing elements having twistlock securing corner castings in a lower part thereof for being secured and inserted into upper corner castings of a container;
- and
- twistlock securing corner castings in upper corners thereof;
- a main cabling attaching a front end to a rear end of the device, the main cabling comprising:
- a first connector at one of the ends;
- and
- a second connector at an opposite end;
- wherein said main cabling allows at least two of said electricity supply devices to be connected in series and one said electricity supply device to be connected to an electrical energy supply source;
- a secondary cabling connected to the main cabling by which electricity is supplied to electrical equipment of the container via a connector of said secondary cabling;
- an articulated arm arranged on each of smaller front and rear sides of the structure, wherein the main cabling and the secondary cabling are attached to the arm in such a manner that the arm is movable between two positions, including a first position parallel and horizontal to the structure, and a second position perpendicular and vertical to the structure, in which in one of the positions of the arm, the twistlock securing elements are secured to the container, and in the other one of the positions the twistlock securing elements are free.
