Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention generally relates to the technical field of cargo boxes and containers, and more particularly to a container for transporting vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Containers can be loaded with packaged or unpackaged goods for sea, land and air transportation. Container transportation is an important mode of transportation in the process of multimodal transportation of international trade goods. The goods in the container do not need to be moved during transshipment. The container can be quickly loaded and unloaded as a transport unit, which is convenient for loading and unloading with mechanical equipment and can be reused for a long time. Freight transportation through containers can greatly improve transportation efficiency and reduce transportation costs.

[0003] At present, the logistics market has an urgent need for international transportation solutions for automobiles. Containerized transportation is the main mode of logistics transportation in the world today, which can enable the rapid, efficient, low-cost and high-safety circulation of goods. At present, almost all automobile container transportation methods use 40-foot HC standard containers with pallets (car carriers). However, as the size of cars on the market becomes larger and larger, this mode of transportation has great limitations. When loading some medium and large SUVs and long passenger cars, 40HC containers can only load 2-3 units, which reduces the efficiency of transportation, greatly increases the freight of a single vehicle, and the packing is relatively complicated.

[0069] In the following description, a large number of specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art are not described.

[0070] In order to fully understand the present invention, a detailed description will be provided in the following description. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other embodiments.

[0071] Ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" cited in the present invention are merely identifications and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order, etc. Moreover, for example, the term "first component" itself does not imply the existence of the "second component", and the term "second component" itself does not imply the existence of the "first component".

[0072] It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside" and similar expressions used in the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting.

[0073] The invention discloses a container for transporting vehicles.

[0074] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a container 2 for transporting vehicles comprises: a side wall 24, at least six support rails 21;

[0076] The side walls 24 are arranged on the left and right sides of the container 2, and the side walls 24 are generally of a corrugated plate structure; the upper side of the side walls 24 is fixedly connected to the top 27 of the container 2, and the lower side of the side walls 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom frame 28 of the container 2;

[0077] Six support rails 21 are horizontally symmetrically arranged on the side wall 24 and are divided into three layers, the upper and lower layers. The support rails 21 are used to support the pallet 1. A second slide is provided in the support rail 21. The rollers of the pallet 1 can slide in the second slide. The position of the pallet 1 in the container 2 can be adjusted so that multiple pallets 1 can be loaded in the container 2. During the loading and unloading process, the pallet 1 moves in the support rails 21 in a sliding manner, which is convenient for operation in the narrow environment inside the container 2.

[0078] The container in this embodiment has at least six support rails arranged inside the container. The six support rails are divided into three layers, upper and lower, and can support four pallets and load four cars. This can increase the number of vehicles loaded in the container and reduce the transportation cost of a single vehicle. Rollers are arranged on the left and right sides of the pallet to slide in the support rails, thereby simplifying the loading and unloading steps and improving the transportation efficiency of the container.

[0079] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, a plurality of third positioning holes 212 that pass through the upper and lower sides of the second slide are provided, and positioning pins are provided in the third positioning holes 212 to limit the rollers of the tray 1. After the tray 1 is slid to a suitable position, the positioning pins are inserted into the third positioning holes 212, and then the positioning pins are tightened with nuts. The rollers of the tray 1 cannot pass over the positioning pins in the second slide, thereby achieving the fixation of the tray 1. For a tray 1, positioning pins need to be provided on both the front and rear sides (provided on the support rails 21 of the upper and middle layers, or the support rails 21 of the lower layer) to firmly limit the position of the tray 1. The positioning pins can also be used in conjunction with the limiting blocks to limit the rollers of the tray 1. For example, the limiting blocks are put on the positioning pins to make the limiting of the rollers of the tray 1 more stable.

[0080] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the entrance 211 of the support rail 21 is trumpet-shaped or cone-shaped, which is convenient for the roller of the tray 1 to enter. A limit block is provided at the entrance 211 of the support rail 21 to prevent the roller of the tray 1 from escaping from the entrance 211 of the support rail 21. The limit block can be in a cubic shape and fixed at the bottom of the entrance 211. The bottom of the entrance 211 is still flat, and the top is tilted upward to form a trumpet shape or a cone.

[0081] When loading or unloading, the two rollers at the rear of the pallet 1 are relatively close to the entrance 211 of the upper or lower support rail 21. By providing a stopper at the entrance 211, the two rollers at the rear of the pallet 1 can be prevented from being separated from the entrance 211 of the support rail 21. The stopper is relatively small and does not completely block the entrance 211 of the upper support rail 21. When loading or unloading the pallet 1, the rear of the pallet 1 is appropriately raised, and the two rollers will pass over the stopper.

[0082] The length of the upper support rail 21 can be slightly smaller than the middle and lower support rails 21 , and a distance is left between the entrance 211 of the upper support rail 21 and the box door 25 to facilitate lifting the two rear rollers of the tray 1 into the upper support rail 21 .

[0083] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the container 2 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0084] At least four support columns 23 are vertically arranged on the side wall 24 for supporting the tray 1 . A third slideway is arranged in the support column 23 , and the rollers of the tray 1 can slide in the third slideway.

[0085] Four support columns 23 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the container 2, and two support columns 23 are arranged on the side wall 24 on each side, so that multiple stacked pallets 1 can be stored. The support columns 23 can be fixed to the side wall 24 by welding. By centrally storing multiple pallets 1, when there is no need to place pallets 1 on the support rails 21 in the container 2, storage space can be left in the container 2 for storing other goods.

[0086] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of fourth positioning holes 231 that penetrate left and right are provided on the left and right sides of the third slide, and positioning pins are provided in the fourth positioning holes 231 to limit the rollers of the tray 1. After placing the tray 1 in a suitable position, the positioning pins are inserted into the fourth positioning holes 231, and then the positioning pins are tightened with nuts. The rollers of the tray 1 cannot pass over the positioning pins in the third slide, thereby achieving the fixation of the tray 1. For a tray 1, positioning pins need to be provided on both the front and rear sides to firmly define the position of the tray 1. The positioning pins can also be used in conjunction with the limiting blocks to limit the rollers of the tray 1. For example, the limiting blocks are put on the positioning pins to make the limiting of the rollers of the tray 1 more stable.

[0087] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the cross-section of the support rail 21 and the support column 23 is C-shaped. By using C-shaped profiles, it is convenient to set the second slideway and the third positioning hole 212 in the support rail 21, and to set the third slideway and the fourth positioning hole 231 in the support column 23, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0088] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the container 2 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0089] The end plate 26 is disposed at the front end of the container 2; the end plate 26 is a closed structure and cannot be opened;

[0090] The door 25 is disposed at the rear end of the container 2. The door 25 can be opened and closed, and loading and unloading are performed from the rear end.

[0091] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the end plate 26 comprises:

[0092] An upper end plate 261, which is disposed on the upper portion of the end plate 26, and is a corrugated plate;

[0093] A middle end plate 262, which is disposed in the middle of the end plate 26, and is a flat plate or has a U-shaped cross section;

[0094] The lower end plate 263 is disposed at the lower portion of the end plate 26 , and the lower end plate 263 is a corrugated plate.

[0095] The cross section of the middle end plate 262 is U-shaped, and a large flat plate structure can be formed in the middle, and can be fixedly connected to the corner columns on the left and right sides to improve the structural strength. The structural strength of the end plate 26 can still be ensured by adopting a combined structure of upper and lower corrugated plates and a middle flat plate.

[0096] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the surface of the middle end plate 262 located inside the container 2 is lower than the upper end plate 261 and the lower end plate 263, so that the end plate 26 forms a avoidance zone at the middle end plate 262. Fig.14 As shown, the avoidance zone can increase the length of the container 2 by 60 mm, increase the placement space, and when the pallet 1 is placed inside the container 2, the vehicle 3 located at the front can be placed further to the front end of the container 2, so that a longer vehicle 3 can be placed to meet the needs of loading large vehicles, such as loading large SUVs or sedans. The surface of the middle end plate 262 located outside the container 2 can be flush with the upper end plate 261 and the lower end plate 263, or slightly lower than the upper end plate 261 and the lower end plate 263, without increasing the external length of the container 2.

[0097] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the end plate 26 also includes:

[0098] A first connecting beam 264, which is disposed between the upper end plate 261 and the middle end plate 262, and is fixedly connected to the upper end plate 261 and the middle end plate 262 respectively;

[0099] The second connecting beam 265 is disposed between the middle end plate 262 and the lower end plate 263 and is fixedly connected to the middle end plate 262 and the lower end plate 263 respectively.

[0100] By providing two connecting beams in the end plate 26 , the connection strength between the upper end plate 261 and the middle end plate 262 and the connection strength between the middle end plate 262 and the lower end plate 263 can be improved, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the end plate 26 .

[0101] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the container 2 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0102] The column 22 is arranged inside the container 2 and fixedly connected to the side wall 24. The column 22 can be fixed to the side wall 24 by welding. A plurality of support seats 221 are arranged on the column 22 for fixing the support rail 21. A plurality of columns 22 are arranged on the left and right sides of the container 2.

[0103] The support rail 21 can obtain support from a plurality of columns 22, thereby ensuring that the support rail 21 does not deform during long-term use, and ensuring that the functions of the container 2 are reliable and stable.

[0104] The support seat 221 may be a triangular plate or a trapezoidal plate, and is fixed to the column 22 by welding. The multiple support seats 221 fixing the same support rail 21 are at the same height inside the container 2. Widening plates may be installed on the left and right sides of the support seat 221 to increase the width of the support seat 221 and improve the support strength of the support rail 21. In addition to the fixation of the support seat 221 to the support rail 21, the support rail 21 and the column 22 may be further fixed by welding.

[0105] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, a limiting groove 222 is provided on the top of the support seat 221 for limiting the support rail 21. The limiting groove 222 can be U-shaped or L-shaped, constituting a limit for the support rail 21 to prevent the support rail 21 from leaving the support seat 221.

[0106] The external height of the container 2 in this embodiment can reach 3180 mm, the internal space height can reach 3033 mm, the external length can reach 12192 mm, and the internal space length can reach 12074 mm. It can be seen that the container 2 has a relatively large internal storage space.

[0107] Other structures of the container 2 may refer to the prior art, such as corner posts, top corner fittings, bottom corner fittings, etc., and will not be described in detail here.

[0108] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a pallet 1 for a transport vehicle, comprising: a main frame 11, at least two first rollers 13 and at least two second rollers 16;

[0109] The main frame 11 is a steel frame, which can be made by welding rectangular pipes;

[0110] At least two first rollers 13 are disposed on the side of the main frame 11 and are disposed close to the first end of the main frame 11. In this embodiment, the tray 1 is provided with two first rollers 13, which are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the main frame 11;

[0111] At least two second rollers 16 are disposed on the side of the main frame 11 and are disposed close to the second end of the main frame 11. In this embodiment, the tray 1 is provided with two second rollers 16, which are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the main frame 11;

[0112] The first roller 13 and / or the second roller 16 can be adjusted and fixed in position on the main frame 11. Only one of the first roller 13 and the second roller 16 can be adjusted and fixed in position on the main frame 11, or both can be adjusted and fixed in position on the main frame 11. In the figure, two second rollers 16 can be adjusted and fixed in position on the main frame 11.

[0113] The pallet for transporting vehicles in this embodiment can adjust the installation angle of the pallet in the container by arranging rollers that can adjust the fixed position on both sides of the pallet, so that it can be suitable for loading vehicles with larger sizes, increase the number of vehicles loaded in the container, improve the transportation efficiency of the container, and reduce the transportation cost of a single vehicle.

[0114] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0115] At least two adjustment rails 17 are provided on the side of the main frame 11 and close to the second end of the main frame 11 . The second roller 16 is provided in the adjustment rail 17 and can slide in the adjustment rail 17 to adjust the fixed position.

[0116] The cross section of the adjustment rail 17 is C-shaped and can be made of C-shaped material. The adjustment rail 17 can be fixed to the side of the main frame 11 by welding. In the figure, two adjustment rails 17 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main frame 11, and the C-shaped openings are facing outward.

[0117] In one embodiment, if Fig.10 , Fig.12 As shown, a slider 174 is provided in the adjustment track 17 , and the second roller 16 is fixedly connected to the slider 174 . The slider 174 can slide in the adjustment track 17 to adjust the fixed position.

[0118] The slider 174 may be in a cubic shape, with a size adapted to the inner size of the adjustment track 17 . The second roller 16 is mounted on the slider 174 via a shaft and protrudes from the outside of the adjustment track 17 .

[0119] In one embodiment, if Fig.10 , Fig.12As shown, a first slideway 171 is provided in the adjustment track 17, and a slider 174 can slide in the first slideway 171. A plurality of second positioning holes 172 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the first slideway 171. Positioning pins 173 are provided in the second positioning holes 172 to limit the slider 174.

[0120] At least two positioning pins 173 are required to limit the slider 174, and the two positioning pins 173 are distributed on the left and right sides of the slider 174. When the second roller 16 needs to be adjusted, the positioning pin 173 is pulled out from the second positioning hole 172, and the slider 174 is moved to a suitable position before installing the positioning pin 173.

[0121] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 As shown, the main frame 11 includes: a cross beam 111, a first longitudinal beam 112 and a second longitudinal beam 113;

[0122] The crossbeam 111 is disposed at a first end of the main frame 11;

[0123] The first end of the first longitudinal beam 112 is fixedly connected to the cross beam 111 , and a plurality of first positioning holes 114 are provided on the side of the first longitudinal beam 112 ;

[0124] The first end of the second longitudinal beam 113 is fixedly connected to the cross beam 111 , and a plurality of first positioning holes 114 are disposed on the side of the second longitudinal beam 113 .

[0125] The cross beam 111 , the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 may all be made of rectangular tubes and fixedly connected by welding.

[0126] The main frame 11 in this embodiment includes two first longitudinal beams 112 and two second longitudinal beams 113 , which are divided into two groups and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main frame 11 .

[0127] The main frame 11 also includes a plurality of other cross beams, which are arranged between the two second longitudinal beams 113 to improve the structural strength of the main frame 11 .

[0128] like Fig.13 As shown, by adjusting the position of the second roller 16 on the second longitudinal beam 113, the installation angle of the pallet 1 in the container 2 can be adjusted, so that it can be suitable for loading vehicles with larger sizes and increase the number of vehicles loaded in the container. When the second roller 16 moves on the second longitudinal beam 113 toward the cross beam 111, the installation angle of the pallet 1 in the container 2 will increase, and when the second roller 16 moves on the second longitudinal beam 113 away from the cross beam 111, the installation angle of the pallet 1 in the container 2 will decrease.

[0129] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0130] At least two tire fixers 12 are provided between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 and are used to limit the position of the wheels of the vehicle parked on the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles.

[0131] The two tire fixers 12 can limit the two front wheels or the two rear wheels of the vehicle, maintain the position of the vehicle on the pallet 1, and prevent the vehicle from shaking back and forth on the pallet 1. In addition, it is necessary to use ropes to tie up the wheels to improve the stability of the vehicle on the pallet 1.

[0132] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 As shown, the tire fixing device 12 includes:

[0133] A bracket 121, two ends of the bracket 121 are respectively connected to the first positioning hole 114 of the first longitudinal beam 112 and the first positioning hole 114 of the second longitudinal beam 113;

[0134] The support plate 122 is disposed on the top of the bracket 121 . The support plate 122 is provided with a slope. The slopes of the two tire fixers 12 are disposed opposite to each other.

[0135] By arranging the slopes of the two tire fixers 12 opposite to each other, a groove-shaped accommodation space is formed between the two tire fixers 12 , which is more suitable for the shape of the wheel, so as to improve the stability of the vehicle on the pallet 1 .

[0136] like Fig.14 As shown, the two tire fixers 12 can be adjusted between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 to adjust the position of the vehicle 3 on the pallet 1. When the two tire fixers 12 move toward the cross beam 111, the vehicle 3 is closer to the cross beam 111 on the pallet 1, and when the two tire fixers 12 move away from the cross beam 111, the vehicle 3 is closer to the forklift slot 18 on the pallet 1.

[0137] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0138] The retaining spring 123 is connected to one end of the bracket 121 to limit the movement of the bracket 121 in the first positioning hole 114 , thereby limiting the position of the tire fixer 12 between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 .

[0139] One end of the bracket 121 is provided with a connection hole corresponding to the retaining spring 123, and the retaining spring 123 is inserted into the connection hole, so that it will not fall off the bracket 121 easily after installation. When the retaining spring 123 is not provided, the end of the bracket 121 can move freely in the first positioning hole 114, and the end of the bracket 121 can be easily disengaged from the first positioning hole 114, and the position of the tire holder 12 between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 can be adjusted at this time to adjust the position of the vehicle 3 on the pallet 1. When the retaining spring 123 is provided, due to the blocking effect of the retaining spring 123, the end of the bracket 121 cannot move freely in the first positioning hole 114, and the end of the bracket 121 cannot be disengaged from the first positioning hole 114, thereby realizing the tire holder 12 being limited between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113.

[0140] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the first tire fixer 12 is closer to the first end of the main frame 11 than the second tire fixer 12, and the height of the first tire fixer 12 is greater than the height of the second tire fixer 12. By increasing the height of the first tire fixer 12, the vehicle can be effectively prevented from rolling off the pallet 1, so as to improve the stability of the vehicle on the pallet 1.

[0141] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0142] A plurality of tire transition devices 14 are provided between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 and are used for supporting the transition of wheels of a vehicle traveling on the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles.

[0143] Because the main frame 11 is a frame structure, there is a gap on the vehicle's driving path, and multiple tire transitions 14 can fill the gap. When the vehicle drives onto the pallet 1, the vehicle passes over the multiple tire transitions 14 and can enter between the two tire fixers 12.

[0144] The tire transition device 14 may also adopt a structure similar to the tire fixer 12 , including a bracket 121 and a support plate 122 . The position of the tire transition device 14 between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 may also be adjusted, and the tire transition device 14 may be limited between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 by a retaining spring 123 .

[0145] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0146] The tire support plate 15 is disposed between the first longitudinal beam 112 and the second longitudinal beam 113 and is used to support the wheels of the vehicle 3 . The tire support plate 15 is provided with a convex-concave pattern or a plurality of through holes.

[0147] Because the main frame 11 is a frame structure, there is a gap on the vehicle's driving path, and the tire support plate 15 can fill the gap, and the wheels of the vehicle driving and parked on the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles can be supported by the tire support plate 15. The convex and concave patterns provided on the tire support plate 15 can prevent the wheels from slipping, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle on the pallet 1. A plurality of through holes can also be provided on the tire support plate 15, which can prevent the wheels from slipping, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle on the pallet 1.

[0148] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the pallet 1 for transporting vehicles also includes:

[0149] At least two forklift slots 18 are provided at the second end of the main frame 11 for connecting the forks of a forklift.

[0150] When a forklift transports the pallet 1, the forks are inserted into the two forklift slots 18, and then the pallet 1 can be lifted for the transfer operation.

[0151] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a container 2 for transporting vehicles, comprising: a pallet 1 for transporting vehicles according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0152] like Fig.15 , Fig.16 As shown, four pallets 1 can be arranged in the container 2. The four pallets 1 are divided into two layers, upper and lower, and can be loaded with four SUVs or four cars, which significantly improves the transportation efficiency of the container.

[0153] The bottom layer of support rails 21 can load one layer of pallets 1 (two pallets 1), and the top two layers of support rails 21 can load one layer of pallets 1 (two pallets 1). In order to adapt to the shape of the lower vehicle, the two pallets 1 on the upper layer are placed at an angle, so two layers of support rails 21 are required for loading.

[0154] like Fig.17 As shown, the process of loading the vehicle 3 in the container 2 is as follows:

[0155] Step 1: Before loading, the operator enters the box to check the condition inside the box and inserts the front end positioning pins of the upper and lower pallets into the support rails.

[0156] Step 2: Use a forklift to transport the car transport pallet that has been adjusted and tied in place.

[0157] Step 3: Use a forklift to guide the front roller of the loaded pallet into the slideway of the middle support track, continue to push it forward to the rear end to pass over the V-shaped entrance of the middle support track, and place it on top of the middle support track.

[0158] Step 4: Use a forklift (with tool fork sleeves installed) to lift the pallet, and make the rear roller pass over the limit block at the entrance of the upper support track to push it into the slideway of the upper support track.

[0159] Step 5: The operator pushes the upper pallet into the box until the front roller of the pallet hits the positioning pin; insert the rear positioning pin to fix the upper pallet. Then insert the front positioning pin of the second obliquely mounted pallet.

[0160] Step 6: Use a forklift to transport the car transport pallet that has been adjusted and tied in place.

[0161] Step 7: Use a forklift to move the lower flat-pack pallet over the limit block at the entrance of the slideway of the lower support rail and guide the front and rear rollers into the slideway of the lower support rail.

[0162] Step 8: The operator pushes the lower pallet into the box until the front roller of the pallet hits the positioning pin; inserts the rear positioning pin to fix the flat-pack pallet; and then inserts the front positioning pin of the second flat-pack pallet at the bottom.

[0163] Step 9: Repeat the process of step 2 to step 8 to load the second obliquely loaded car and the second flat-loaded car into the box in sequence.

[0164] Step 10: Check, take photos, close the box door and seal the box.

[0165] According to a pallet and container for transporting vehicles of the present invention, rollers capable of adjusting the fixed position are arranged on both sides of the pallet, so that the installation angle of the pallet in the container can be adjusted, thereby being suitable for loading vehicles with larger sizes, increasing the number of vehicles loaded in the container, improving the transportation efficiency of the container, and reducing the transportation cost of a single vehicle.
