Abstract
A transport vehicle for large, heavy loads includes a number of modules coupled one behind the other, each with a loading platform which can be moved by sets of wheels and a drive for conveying the transport vehicle. The width of the modules corresponds to half the width of an ISO container (approx. 1215 mm) and the modules can also be coupled next to one another. This has the considerable advantage that the maximum track width is no longer limited by the width of the modules. As a result, the transport vehicle for large, heavy loads can be given any desired width without the modules becoming too large to handle.
