  • the ISO containers may be provided by way of example as a 20-foot container or a 40-foot container. Such an ISO container may be completely or partially closed on its longitudinal sides and / or its roof side, with corresponding end, bottom, top and / or side walls.
  • the ISO container also has standardized ISO corner fittings (so-called container corners) at least on its eight outer corners, with the aid of which the ISO container can be locked in a simple and fast manner with, for example, a trailer contour of a truck semitrailer or other modes of transport as well as the ISO Container can be stacked in several container layers.
  • From the DE 195 03 557 A1 is a generic transport platform known.
  • the transport platform is designed as an externally closed cube-shaped container with sheet metal planking.
  • From the AT 007 105 U1 is a method for unloading a transport vehicle of containers or for loading the same known.
  • From the DE 198 33 872 A1 is a chassis for stacking / changing and tilting container for placing on Trucks known with loading crane.
  • From the DE 42 14 352 A1 a device is known for securing containers immediately stowed on foundations in the loading area of vehicles.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a transport platform whose field of application is functionally extended to the extent that it allows for different load simple loading or unloading.
  • the transport platform is extended in a platform longitudinal direction with a front projection and a rear projection on the front / rear corner fittings out.
  • the respective front / rear supernatant terminates at a front / rear vertical frame.
  • This is each constructed of vertical struts and an upper roof cross member, which converge on a roof frame corner.
  • the roof frame corner is connected in the platform longitudinal direction via a longitudinal support strut on the roof corner fitting.
  • a longitudinal support strut is supported in each case between the roof corner fittings arranged in longitudinal alignment with each other.
  • the bottom group of the transport platform may have two mutually parallel lateral side members. These are connected together to form a closed horizontal support frame at least on end-side cross member.
  • the soil group thus formed is designed as a steel beam construction on which preferably a closed bottom wall is formed.
  • the transport platform on a semi-trailer contour such as a truck semi-trailer or other mode of transport, lockable.
  • the roof corner fittings ensure that the transport platform can be stacked in several layers.
  • a further transport platform stacked on the transport platform can be locked via the roof corner fittings.
  • a container handler may engage the roof corner fittings to load the transport platform.
  • Such container stackers are used in common practice when loading ISO containers and are, for example, in loading yards in use.
