Abstract: The invention relates to a method by means of which an unmanned transport device (3) docked on a receiving container (1) is loaded with a payload container (7) for a consignment (4), having a loading device (8) for loading the transport device (3) with the payload container (7), wherein the payload container (7) has a bearing means (9) at its first end (8a), the transport device (3) has a loading opening (6) on its underside (5) for receiving the payload container (7), and the loading opening (6), at its front end (19), has a mating contour (20) corresponding to the bearing means (9), and the method has the following steps: the payload container (7), arranged on the loading device (8), is pivoted in relation to the horizontal by the loading device (8) such that the first end (8a) is elevated in relation to a second, opposite end (14) of the payload container (7), the loading device (8) is raised until the payload container (7) ends up at least with its first end (8a) located within and/or beneath the loading opening (6), and the payload container (7) is pivoted by the loading device into the horizontal for introduction into the loading opening (6) such that, first of all, the bearing means (9) comes into engagement with the mating contour (20) and, subsequently, the second end (14) of the payload container (7) comes into engagement with a rear end (22) of the loading opening (6).
