Abstract

A platform dimensioned for the transport of cargo within a shipping container. The platform includes column members and a lifting portion present on the column members. The members are movable between a first condition in which the columns are upright when a load of cargo is present on the platform and a second condition in which the column members are horizontal so that one platform may be stacked upon another. The platform is adapted to be received as a clearance fit inside the shipping container and is provided with a component by which the platform may be moved in or out of the container.
