Abstract

The invention furnishes a stilting frame for the transport of containers by means of transhipment equipment, with the stilting frame being designed in such a way that in total four combined positions between the latch bolts of the transhipment equipment and the latch bolts of the stilting frame may be obtained from both switching positions of the latch bolts of the transhipment equipment. The stilting frame may thus be operated in a fully automatic manner and the operator may easily determine whether only the stilting frame is joined to the transhipment equipment, whether the container is also joined to the stilting frame, or whether or not all three elements are joined to each other.
