Portable positional scanning lane
Abstract
A positional lane scanner and method therefor includes a positional lane cargo scanning structure having a first frame portion, a second frame portion, and a top frame portion connected to define a passage lane for a cargo vessel. The first and second frame portions are located on opposite sides and cargo vessels pass therebetween. The first and second frame portions, or both, include a first housing portion and a scanning device mounted within the first housing portion. A lifting member is provided on the top frame portion facing outward, or if the lifting means is on a transport vehicle, such as a reach spreader, a pair of lifting beams may be arranged on the transport vehicle. The lift member removably connects with a boom portion of the transport vehicle for positioning and relocating the scanning structure to be disposed adjacent a cargo vessel lane.
