Abstract (en)
A collapsible container comprises a base frame (1), a bottom element (2), a roof element (6), two long side walls (8, 9, 10), and hinged end portals (3) at the two narrow sides of the container. Doors (4) or walls are fitted in these end portals. The roof element (6) is suspended from at least four hoisting cables (11) running by way of pulleys (12 to 15) to a control mechanism (16 to 23) for pulling in the cables for hoisting the roof element or for paying out the cables for lowering the roof element. In order to prevent water which has collected on the roof element from leaking into the container, the container also comprises two or more hinged hoisting portals (7) which are higher than the end portals (3). Each of the hoisting cables (11) runs from the control mechanism in or along the uprights of a hoisting portal (7) to a pulley (12) at the top side of a hoisting portal. <IMAGE>
