ABSTRACT:
A cargo carrier liftable by, a lift element of a vertical mover includes a floor, a roof, a pair of parallel side walls, and first and second end walls, at least one of the side walls and end walls including a opening to permit the entry and exit of cargo. A plurality of low profile floor supports extend between the side walls to increase container capacity without increasing exterior dimensions of the container. A plurality of lift pockets are fixed to the side walls adjacent the roof, each lift pocket including a back plate and a guide plate attached to lie in parallel contiguous relationship to the side wall and in spaced apart parallel relationship to the back plate to define a cavity therebetween. The guide plate includes an aperture therethrough to allow acceptance of the lift element, the guide plate aperture including opposing edges having upwardly converging linear segments for guiding the lift element into engagement with the lift pocket, the upper edge of the aperture defined by an arcuate segment intersecting the upwardly converging linear segments. The back plate lower portion is outwardly inclined for encouraging disengagement of the lift element from the guide plate aperture upon downward movement of the lift element with respect to the cargo carrier.
