Abstract
A pivotally mounted spade connector for attaching an intermodal sea container to a U-shaped vehicle. A sleeve is rigidly connected to the container to receive the spade connector. A ledge is located on the U-shaped vehicle and is received within a groove on the container. The U-shaded vehicle lowers to the ground, backs up to surround the container, the ledge is guided onto the groove, and the spade connector is projected into the sleeve. The container is connected to the vehicle and both are raised in order to transport the container over roads.
