A loading device for loading and/or unloading transport containers for piece goods includes a plurality of loading places at which the transport containers can be disposed and loaded or unloaded. At least one loading apparatus can be used for loading and/or unloading the transport containers at least at one loading place. In order to reduce the costs for the device, the device includes at least one positioning apparatus for moving at least one transport container or the loading apparatus from a first loading place to at least one second loading place. A method for loading and/or unloading transport containers for piece goods is also provided.

An optical fiber temperature distribution measurement system includes a temperature difference calculator configured to calculate a temperature difference between corresponding spatial resolution zones based on a first temperature distribution obtained by a return light from a first optical fiber part and a second temperature distribution obtained by a return light from a second optical fiber part, and an abnormality detector configured to calculate a temperature difference for evaluation for each spatial resolution zone, the temperature difference for evaluation being a sum of a temperature difference of each spatial resolution zone and a temperature difference of a spatial resolution zone adjacent thereto, and to determine that an abnormality has occurred in a roller near the spatial resolution zone when the calculated temperature difference for evaluation exceeds a reference value.

A truck, a loading bridge, a sorting system for items being dispatched and a retrofit kit for a sorting machine for items being dispatched. In order to ensure that an item being dispatched can be removed in simple ways from the sorting machine for items being dispatched and transported to a further sorting step, the truck has a displaceable floor and the loading bridge has a driving device for the floor.

A deflector for a mobile material separating machine includes a deflector body hingedly attached to a trommel screen frame and a conveyor movable with respect to the trommel screen frame. The conveyor has a stowed position and an operating position. The deflector system also includes an automatic linkage pivotably attached to the deflector body and to the conveyor. The linkage moves and guides the deflector body when the conveyor moves between the stowed position and the operating position.

A transportable drive-over conveyor system includes a drive-over hopper for receiving material and having a belt-type conveyor for conveying the material, a transition section pivotally connected at an upstream end to the drive-over hopper, an auger mounted at a downstream end of the transition section. The transition section transfers the material from the belt-type conveyor to the auger. The system may include radially offset wheels that support and move the conveyor system. The system further includes a pair of foldable ramps having hooks. The system further includes a folding and lifting mechanism which may include cables connected to the hooks for folding the foldable ramps and then lifting the conveyor system by the ramps.
