Abstract

A container stacking storage system loading trolley that includes a chassis and a height-adjustable container seat that includes a receiving region with a container contact surface, wherein a lifting device that operates in a lifting direction is arranged between the chassis and the container seat. The container stacking storage system operates in an economical manner, whereby a bearing arrangement is arranged between the container seat and the chassis, which bearing arrangement enables a movement of the container seat transversely to the lifting direction relative to the chassis.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A container stacking storage system loading trolley comprising:
a chassis;
a container seat configured to be adjustable relative to the chassis, said container seat comprising a receiving region having a container contact surface;
a lifter configured to operate in a lifting direction, said lifter being arranged between the chassis and the container seat;
a fixer configured to fix the container seat transversely to the lifting direction relative to the chassis;
the fixer being releasable and being configured to store the container seat in a floating manner, whereby the fixer is configured to be released when the container seat is lifted;
a bearer arranged between the container seat and the chassis, said bearer being configured to enable a movement of the container seat transversely to the lifting direction relative to the chassis.

2. The loading trolley according to claim 1 , wherein the lifter comprises a first lifting drive and a second lifting drive, the second lifting drive being configured to act on an unlocker for holding elements of a container stacking storage system, wherein the second lifting drive forms a part of the fixer.

3. The loading trolley according to claim 2 , wherein the unlocker comprises multiple unlocking elements arranged in the region of corners of the container seat, wherein at least some of the unlocking elements comprises a centerer that is directed towards the receiving region.

4. The loading trolley according to claim 3 , wherein the unlocker is in operative connection with the plurality of pins.

5. The loading trolley according to claim 3 , wherein the centerer is sloped relative to the lifting direction.

6. The loading trolley according to claim 3 , wherein the unlocker protrudes past the container contact surface in the receiving region in a transport position of the container seat.

7. The loading trolley according to claim 3 , wherein the container seat comprises edge bars that bound the container contact surface.

8. A container stacking storage system loading trolley comprising:
a chassis;
a container seat configured to be adjustable relative to the chassis, said container seat comprising a receiving region having a container contact surface;
a lifter configured to operate in a lifting direction, said lifter being arranged between the chassis and the container seat;
a fixer configured to fix the container seat transversely to the lifting direction relative to the chassis, the fixer being releasable;
a bearer arranged between the container seat and the chassis, said bearer configured to enable a movement of the container seat transversely to the lifting direction relative to the chassis;
the fixer comprising a plurality of pins comprising at least one pin running parallel to the lifting direction, said at least one pin being arranged in a bore that is stationary transversely to the lifting direction, wherein the at least one pin comprises a first section with a first diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the bore and a second section with a second diameter that corresponds to the diameter of the bore, wherein between the first section and the second section a transition section is provided in which the diameter of the at least one pin increases from the first diameter to the second diameter.

9. A container stacking storage system loading trolley comprising:
a chassis;
a container seat configured to be adjustable relative to the chassis, said container seat comprising a receiving region having a container contact surface, the container seat being mounted on a base plate and the lifter interacts with the base plate;
a lifter configured to operate in a lifting direction, said lifter being arranged between the chassis and the container seat;
a ball roller is arranged between the base plate and the container seat;
a bearer arranged between the container seat and the chassis, said bearer configured to enable a movement of the container seat transversely to the lifting direction relative to the chassis.
