Crate for transporting goods

Abstract

Cargo Box and Coupling System. The invention relates to new logistics and combined transport systems scaled to the city level, enabling the inclusion of river transport in last-mile delivery. To this end, the invention relies, firstly, on a multimodal cargo box (1) equipped with corner attachments allowing the box to be joined with two other identical boxes to form a single unit (100) with a footprint comparable to a standard shipping container. Secondly, it relies on a coupling system for last-mile delivery of the cargo box, comprising a linkage system for attaching it to a vehicle and a receiving structure for securing the cargo box. This structure includes a guidance system with at least one stop and / or guide cones to aid in positioning the cargo box on the vehicle. (See Fig. 7 for abbreviated version.)
