The customer had a modular system for containers that could be connected to each other (coupled) and used in various environments.
These containers were usually brought to their destination by truck and then aligned with one another using a lifting system integrated in the vehicle so that the connection points could be positioned relative to one another and the coupling could be carried out. This coupling could be made for several containers arranged next to each other.
For a special application, the load capacity of the existing system was increased while the weight was reduced at the same time, and a positioning system was designed that made it possible to lift and align containers manually, i.e. without an external energy source. This means that instead of a transport vehicle fully equipped with a lifting system, the container could now simply be placed at its approximate position and the positioning could be carried out independently of the vehicle.
