Device for transport and storage of passenger cars

Abstract

The invention is derived to a device for efficient transport of passenger cars or similar, with a high environmental and energy saving result, including: at least one two-dimensional framework (2), at least one connecting element (3) positioned and attached in the third dimension perpendicular to said at least one two-dimensional framework. The said two-dimensional framework (2) and the said at least one connecting element (3) together form a framework body of the said device. This device is further characterized by including at least one fastening device for vertical attachment and storage of a passenger car (10, 10') in order to arrange the passenger cars vertically. When the passenger cars are placed vertically suspended in the container device according to this invention; the use of volume is significantly improved compared to previous container solutions and known techniques for transport of passenger cars. The said framework body (1) comprises a vertical central structure (3, 41) in the longitudinal direction of the centre line of the device, wherein at least one fastening device is placed towards the said vertical centre structure (3, 41), so that a passenger car (10, 10 ') is placed in vertical direction with the bottom plate of the passenger car (10, 10 ') towards the said vertical centre structure (3, 41) and the forward end of the passenger car (10, 10') facing upwards, and wherein the cross section of the framework body (1); in the cross direction of the device is limited to acceptable maximum cross sectional dimension according to rail standard. The invention relates further to a method of transporting a passenger car (10, 10 ') in such a device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for efficiently transporting passenger cars, which is energy-saving and environment-friendly. More specifically, the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method of transporting passenger vehicles by using such a device. Background technique [0002] The transportation of passenger cars is an important part in the production and sales of passenger cars. Factories that make passenger cars usually sell them all over the world. This means that the passenger cars have to be transported from the factories where they are produced to the local car dealers who sell them to the end consumers. [0003] So far, this has been achieved by driving a production passenger car, off the production line of a car factory, to a temporary parking lot. This requires a large number of people. There is also a great risk of damaging the passenger car during transport to the car park. [0004] Passenger ca...
