A first and a second shoulder part are situated and/or provided on the frame, and the first shoulder part is situated at a distance from the second shoulder part, and a space region is situated between the wheel drives and between the shoulder parts, into which the vehicle together with the container it accommodates is able to be driven and out of which the vehicle together with the container may be driven. The container has a width that is greater than the distance, in particular the smallest distance, between the shoulder parts, the vehicle has a lifting device, and the vehicle is able to be driven into the space region when the lifting device is lowered and also when it is raised. When the lifting device is raised, the container is able to be positioned above the shoulder parts on the vehicle, and when the lifting device is lowered, the container may be positioned so as to sit on the shoulder parts.
