Abstract
A distribution system comprises box-shaped transport containers, (5) each provided with a bottom (18) and walls (20), and a truck (1) provided with wheels and having swinging side walls (3 and 4) in hinged connection with a vertical end wall (2). The side walls (3 and 4) have supporting elements placed oppositely in pairs, e.g. horizontal L-shaped rails (22) which are positively engageable with members formed on the transport trays (5), e.g. channels (21). The channel members are incorporated at the bottom (18) of the transport trays, to facilitate in cooperation with the L-shaped rail members loading by insertion of the transport trays (5) and securing of the side walls (3 and 4) when the side walls are in their active position.
