ABSTRACT:
Installations for trans-loading piece goods in the form of load units (3) such as containers, returnable vessels, semi-trailers or the like between road and railborne vehicles (2) comprise a single or multiple storey store (5, 6) for the load units (3) on one side of a single or multiple track railway line (1), a single or multiple lane roadway (9) on the other side of the store (5, 6) as well as lifting gear means (10, 11) for transferring the load units (3). In order to reduce the required floor area for simplifying the lifting gear means to be employed as well as accelerating the transfer, the store (5, 6) in such an installation is to be divided longitudinally into two parts with an operating space (7) accommodated between the store portions (5, 6) and having fixed to the four comers of the operating space (7) one load lifting gear means (11) each. The width of the operating space (7) corresponds at least to the length of the largest load unit which is to be transferred. In the operating space (7) a store lifting means (10) is movable which services the store parts. The load lifting gear means (11) have an operating radius of at least three quarters the length of the largest load unit and serve for loading and unloading the vehicles (2), in particular whilst travelling past at reduced velocity.
