SYSTEM FOR VARIABLE LOADING OF A VEHICLE

The present invention relates to a system for loading a vehicle with cargo or for mounting a replaceable load body on a vehicle, wherein this system comprises at least one device on the vehicle for receiving the cargo or the load body as well as at least one support device cooperating with the device, on which the cargo or the load body is located. According to the invention, the device on the vehicle is a guide device (23, 24) that is openly accessible in the loading longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the support device cooperating with this guide device comprises at least one insertable support profile (14, 17) that engages in this guide device and is guided in the loading longitudinal direction of the vehicle, wherein a locking device (20) is provided for the engagement between the guide device (23, 24) and the support profile (14, 17), wherein by releasing this locking device (20) the engagement between the guide device (23, 24) and the support profile is releasable and then the support profile can be lifted upward from the guide device. The invention thus provides a system for loading a vehicle that permits a very simple and rapid loading and unloading process and is moreover very flexible, insofar as not only the most varied cargo can be accommodated, but also a wide variety of bodies with different functionality can be placed on the chassis of a base vehicle.
