  • This is due to the fact that usually it is the positioning of the beam elements in the intermediate and upper levels only that is decisive for the type of vehicles that may be loaded onto the transport frame 1. It may also in certain cases be desirable to merely provide the transport frame 1 with carrier beams in two levels, eg corresponding to the lower and upper levels shown in Figure 3. Hereby it will be possible to transport vehicles that are all loaded in an inclined position. As a rule, however, this will not enable transport of four vehicles in a conventional forty-feet freight container.
