A lock cylinder having: a cylinder core having a key channel for inserting a key which is provided with profiling; at least one feeler element which is disposed in the cylinder core, is acted on by a spring and is held in a blocking position by the spring when the key is not inserted in the key channel; and a blocking element which, when the feeler element is in the blocking position, is held in a blocking position which blocks rotation of the cylinder core. The feeler element can be shifted against the return force of the spring into a release position by the profiling on the matching key inserted into the key channel, in which position the locking element can be deflected into a position releasing the cylinder core. In order to enable the lock cylinder to lock more securely, the feeler element includes a feeler arm for feeling the profiling, which feeler arm protrudes radially from a shaft rotatably supported in the cylinder core and which feeler arm, when the matching key is inserted, is acted upon such that the shaft rotates about the axis thereof into the release position.

A method and apparatus for transporting loads includes a gripper pliers including a pair of pivotable gripper arms, each of which has a gripper claw. A positioning element is operatively coupled to the pair of gripper arms for pivoting the gripper arms in a pivoting plane and displacing the gripper arms in a gripping direction transversely of the pivoting plane into a position so that the gripper claws can engage connecting regions of the load. At least one of the gripper arms includes a transverse guide for fixing it against further pivoting and back-pivoting within the pivoting plane after the gripper arm has pivoted into an operating position for being displaced in the gripping direction.

Method and apparatus for transporting loads

The invention relates to a transloading apparatus for transcontainers such as freight containers, interchangeable containers and semi-trailers including a crane trolley adapted to travel on a crane or portal, to which, by way of a lifting means, a load receiving means is fitted in a manner for raising and lowering. In order to enable the load receiving means to be guided and aligned more accurately in relation to the transcontainer, provision is made to connect to the load receiving apparatus two horizontally movable columns or lifting structures at a distance from one another which is fixed or can be adjusted in a defined manner and to render these vertically displaceable. Preferably each of the columns or each of the two lifting structures can be connected by way of a pendulum suspension to the load receiving means.

Transloading apparatus for transcontainers

A lifting and transport apparatus for containers has a fixed rigid horizontal beam on the lower flange of which two wheeled carriages are displaceable either together or separately to allow, in the latter case, a change in the distance between the carriages and, in the former case, displacement of the container. A cross beam on each of the carriages can carry at its ends fixed columns which guide respective lifting elements having claws at their ends engageable with the container. The entire assembly is free from cables or the like which can introduce sway.
