ABSTRACT:
A positioning device for at least one pallet that is deposited on a deposit area of a raiseable and lowerable container having at least one open side, especially for unloading ships, whereby the deposit area is larger than the pallets by a predetermined amount. To permit automatic alignment of the pallets and their subsequent automatic removal by means of a horizontal conveyor, that the deposit area bordered on two opposite sides by two contact surfaces, which are arranged vertically parallel to each other and can be synchronously moved toward each other into a central position. The container is be insertable from above into a precentering opening of a centering frame, which precentering opening corresponds to the outer contour of the container cross-section, and placeable onto a horizontal support surface arranged thereunder, whereby the contact surfaces are automatically movable toward each other, up to pallet width, by deflection of the weight of the loaded container.
