The bracing 2o can be fixed in the receiving plate 26d and the bracing 2o can be inserted into the slot or the sleeve 15 without breaking the wire seal.
It is designed to prevent it from being lifted up and falling out. Therefore, the container module 10e has panels 18.
It is completely closed by the inner container wall formed by 22 and 26. Also, these inner walls are flat surfaces and do not damage anything inside the container module.

Other container modules are similarly filled and closed. Once the container modules are filled and closed, they can be loaded and unloaded by forklift truck into large cartons suitably splinted.

A plug 7 ohm 40 may be provided for loading and unloading onto the transport vehicle. As best shown in FIG. 7, the platform 40 has a plurality of grooves 42. The platform 40 may form the rear side cage of the transport vehicle 50, as shown in FIG. 6, or it may simply connect to the transport vehicle 50 when it reaches its destination. It may be something. In order to unload the container module from the transport vehicle 50, the platform 40 is laid horizontally and flush with the floor of the transport vehicle 50.
They are arranged as shown in FIG. platform 40
However, when forming a rear (1ii) chassis, it is sufficient to swing as in the normal case, and only the lower part 2 is required, or if the platform 40 is a separate piece, by any appropriate means. To remove the container module 10a, a chain (not shown) is connected to it and the container module 10m is pulled onto the platform 40 by a forklift truck.Then, Maneuver the forklift truck so that its fork tines enter the groove 42 below the container module 103.The forklift truck can be a regular one with two fork tines, and the platform 4

Once placed under 0a, this container module 10a is simply lifted by a forklift truck and removed from the rear of the transport vehicle 50 as usual. Similarly, the next container module 10b is removed by pulling out the chain using a forklift truck. This continues until all container modules have been removed from the transport vehicle. Transport vehicle 50
The container modules are placed one by one on the platform 40 and the fork teeth are placed in the grooves 42 to allow the forklift truck to disengage and return to the container module when the container module is placed on the platform 40. The container module is pushed into the transport vehicle by a push bar (not shown) fixed to the front of the forklift truck. Other container modules are placed in exactly the same way.

Although the invention can be used to move furniture from one home to another, it is most useful when storing furniture in storage. This is because in this case the furniture does not have to be taken out from the container module, but can simply be placed inside the container module. When transporting the furniture to a new location, reload the container module onto the transport vehicle. Although the container module has been described above as one for transporting furniture, it can also be used for articles suitable for storage in other container modules.

〔effect〕

Therefore, when furniture is stored in a warehouse, it is not necessary to unload it one by one, nor to load it one by one when reloading, so that damage to the furniture is significantly reduced. Furthermore, since the furniture is loaded and unloaded in the warehouse using forklift trucks, the time required for loading and unloading is significantly reduced, and therefore, the transportation costs for unloading and receiving the furniture are also extremely reduced.
