The invention relates to a structure (2) for interchangeable containers (20) for a cargo transport vehicle (3), in particular for a roll-off tipper vehicle or for a hook-lift tipper vehicle, comprising a base frame (1) and at least one boom arm (10) that is movable relative to the base frame (1) for unloading and/or tipping a container (20), at least one actuating device (28a, 28b) for exerting a force on the at least one boom arm (10), a control device (100) for controlling the at least one actuating device (28a, 28b) and a sensor arrangement (5, 7), wherein the sensor arrangement comprises an angle sensor (5) for measuring the angle or inclination with respect to the Earth's gravitational field, preferably on or in the boom arm, wherein the control device (100) is configured to detect (102) the angle measured by the angle sensor as a relative angle zero point value in a zero point position of the boom arm (10), preferably automatically, and to vary control of the at least one actuating device (28a, 28b) as a function of the angle difference between the angle measured by the angle sensor (5) and the angle zero point value, wherein the angle sensor (5) is preferably an inclination sensor and/or an acceleration sensor. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a structure as well as a method for operating such a structure.
