The idea is the combination of an attachment on the vehicle, which has a comb-like shape and on which the carried container is standing and a special segment of a roller conveyer which is slitted at the bottom. The vehicle combs the load handling station without stopping and executes a double cycle within a very short space of time.

Besides saving mechanical and electrical components, what means cost saving, more benefits result from using this load suspension device on a vehicle. Each gram of weight on the vehicle must be accelerated and moved with energy out of the on board energy storage.
