Abstract:
A self loading container with specific improvements upon prior art. The aim is to expand self loading from industrial multi mode shipping units to less costly end uses with a range container sizes, shapes and customizations that perform common tasks and that can be self loaded into any size vehicle. Gravitational stability is improved by relocating the main rolling means of container from the bottom of vertically extendable jacks or legs to horizontally extendable support rails directly under container. As such, extendable legs are used only to vertically level container with a receiving surface onto which it can then be horizontally transferred by means of its horizontally extendable support rails. Cost and operating improvements include a simplified coupling mechanism torqued for heavy loads with which front and rear leg extension and retraction can be either in pairs, combined or locked. Operating simplicity, visibility and safety are improved by locating all manipulative tools on the same side of container and within easy reach. Ease of self loading container into vehicles and its safe retention during transport is made possible by retainer rails on an insertable vehicle cargo floor that automatically pivot to encase the container support rails.

Claim (Index 1):
A self-loading container having its main rolling means fixed to horizontally extendable support rails that are slidingly incorporated in the exterior bottom of said container, comprising:\n a. means of mechanically extending and retracting said rails horizontally, and b. means of mechanically elevating and lowering said container vertically, whereby said container can be vertically maneuvered from a starting level to a receiving level or surface and then be horizontally maneuvered onto said receiving surface, where it can further be routinely maneuvered horizontally while resting on its said main rolling means.
