The present invention relates to the construction of containers, in particular of gantry-type containers for transporting motor vehicles.

With the development and impact of containerized transportation, automobile containerized transportation has attracted more and more people's attention. At the same time, different types of vehicle containers and related container vehicle equipment have also come out. Usually, the exterior dimensions of the car (especially the body length) are often not just enough to fully occupy the interior space of the container. It is often the case that if one more car is loaded, the box body is not long enough; but if If you don’t carry one more car, the space inside the box will be wasted; since the dimensions (length) of various cars are often very different, when the transportation efficiency problem of a certain type of car is solved by lengthening the size of the container , but affects the transport efficiency of other models. In addition, when the empty container returns, the shipping cost of the ultra-long container is also expensive compared with the international standard container. Existing truck containers all fail to solve these problems well.

The object of the present invention is to provide a retractable platform container, the two ends of which can be properly extended according to the vehicle model to be carried, so that the space of the container can be fully utilized and the transportation efficiency can be improved. During the return trip, the extended part can be retracted to reduce the return transportation cost.

According to the above-mentioned platform container of the present invention, the movable bracket at the end can be properly protruded out of the underframe platform according to the vehicle model to be carried, so that the space of the container can be fully utilized and the transportation efficiency can be improved. During the return trip, the movable bracket can be retracted into the platform to reduce the return transportation cost. This rack container can also be used for transporting other articles and goods except being used for transporting automobiles.

In addition, the end wall of the portal structure allows cars to freely enter and exit from both ends of the container, which is very convenient for the loading and unloading of the transported cars.
