Abstract

This is a container transfer system including a highway vehicle and container platform on a railway car, dock, or conveyor to transfer containers by driving alongside of the platform. One or more channels are secured obliquely across the truck bed with extensions which reach out over the platform to engage and guide cam rollers or runners added to the bottom of the container within side clearance for parallel transfer and fold in to secure the container to truck. Two sets of channels cross for loading and unloading from either side of the truck driven forward. Clip-on cam rollers and arms that lock onto the container for quick removal fold in with the channels' ends to lock. A push-off arm added to the container or two on the truck turn horizontally to push the container straight onto the platform. Truck bed height, tilt, and location on the truck is adjustable.
