A fixing and locking device for containers of the box pallet type which are to be transported on vehicles, having fork-engaging channels and elongated feet which are fixed to the underside of the container in each case in the area of the four corners. Fixing rails on/in the loading surface of the vehicle or on/in the upper side of the containers are provided with openings into which the feet engage. The feet (36, 38) in each case have a perpendicular web (40) which extends parallel to the fork-engaging channels (32) of the container (30) and which, with its upper margin (42), can be connected to the underside of the container and is provided on its underside with flange legs (46, 48) projecting on both sides. The fixing rails (2) essentially extend over the depth of the container and are made essentially U-shaped in cross-section and are provided with two sections (50, 56) which are at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the rails and in which flanges (10, 20), which extend toward one another and form undercuts, are provided on the leg ends of the fixing rails. The undercut sections are at a distance (L.sub.3) from one another which is greater than the length (L.sub.5) of the flange legs (46, 48) of the feet (36, 38) on the container and, at one end, are at a distance (L.sub.1) from the end of the fixing rail. Moreover, means (38) are provided for locking at least one of the feet of the container in/on the fixing rail. For fixing tightening straps, lock bolts (66) which can be inserted into the undercut sections (50, 56) are provided with eye rings (68).
A fixing and locking device for containers of the box pallet type which are to be transported on vehicles, having fork-engaging channels and elongated feet which are to be fixed to the underside of the container in each case in the area of the four corners, and having fixing rails which are to be rigidly connected to a supporting body and are provided with openings into which the feet engage, with the feet (36, 38) in each case having a perpendicular web (40) which extends parallel to the fork-engaging channels (32) of the containers (30) and which, with its upper margin (42), can be connected to the underside of the container and is provided on its underside with flange legs (46, 48) projecting on both sides, the fixing rails (2) essentially extending over the depth of the container and being made essentially U-shaped in cross-section and being provided with two sections (50, 56) which are at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the rails and in which flanges (10, 12), which extend toward one another and form undercuts, are provided on the leg ends of the fixing rails so that the undercut sections are at a distance (L.sub.3) from one another which is greater than the length (L.sub.5) of the flange legs (46, 48) of the feet (36, 38) on the container and, at one end, are at a distance (L.sub.1) from the end of the fixing rail, and means (38) being provided for locking at least one of the feet of the container in the fixing rail.
