A pipe coil skid includes a plurality of beams affixably connected together to form a rectangular shaped base and a platform disposed within the base. The platform has a concave upward shape on its upward facing side when the skid sits on a horizontal surface, such that a coil of pipe positioned upon the platform contacts the platform within the base. The pipe coil skid also includes a first side rail coupled to at least one of the plurality of beams. The first side rail is configured to block movement of the coil of pipe beyond a boundary of the rectangular shaped base.

The disclosure relates to an aerial transportation vehicle including a vehicle frame. The vehicle frame includes an upper vehicle frame (3); a lower vehicle frame (4); lifting assembly (a), at least two lifting assemblies (a) opposite to each other being provided in a first direction, and the lower vehicle frame (4) and the upper vehicle frame (3) may be made to move close to or away from each other by operating at least two lifting assemblies (a); a locking device (b), the locking device (b) being disposed on the lower vehicle frame (4); when the lower vehicle frame (4) and the upper vehicle frame (3) move close to each other, the lower vehicle frame (4) and the upper vehicle frame (3) may be locked together by operating the locking device (b); a guide device (d), the guide device (d) being disposed on the lower vehicle frame (4); when the lower vehicle frame (4) and the upper vehicle frame (3) are separated from each other, the containers of different specifications may be quickly assembled and connected onto the lower vehicle frame (4) by operating the guide device (d). The disclosure can realize the assembly and connection of the containers with the aerial transportation vehicle by means of the devices of the aerial transportation vehicle itself with a simple operation. In addition, the disclosure also relates to an aerial rail container transportation method.

A configurable railroad car including a plurality of multi-orientation coil/slab supports that are configured to be positioned on, oriented on, and securely attached to the floor of the railroad car in different sets of positions and orientations to enable the railroad car to transport different products such as coils, elongated slabs, a mix of coils and elongated slabs, or other products.

A cargo restraint panel may include a foam component. That foam component may have at least one polymer foam sheet. A front facing material may be bonded to and substantially cover a front face of the foam component. A rear facing material may be bonded to and substantially cover a rear face of the foam component. The cargo restraint panel may include one or more edge guards. Cargo may be secured in a railcar or other conveyance by, e.g., placing cargo restraint panels between cargo units.

A system and method for automatically and remotely adjusting the position of a captive beam is provided. The system includes a motor that moves a bracket along a vertical track, with the bracket supporting an end of the captive beam. The bracket rotatably supports a latch that engages an aperture in a track when aligned therewith to allow track to support the load of the captive beam and the load supported by the captive beam.

A cargo restraint panel may comprise a foam core and one or more side caps covering one or more sides of the foam core. A side cap may protect a side of the foam core covered by the side cap. A side cap may comprise a ridge that allows the side cap to compress.

The invention discloses a dunnage bag arrangement for securing loads, includes an inflatable dunnage bag having a gastight inflatable bladder; and a hanger member connected to the dunnage bag and adapted to being supported on top of loads and adapted to support the dunnage bag in a void between loads. The dunnage bag includes a reinforcing sleeve made of at least one material ply, the sleeve having a first opening and a second opening, and the sleeve being folded and sealed and/or stitched to close off at least one of the openings.
