Large format polymeric containers formed by injection molding include a main body having internal surfaces of high density and smoothness that define the internal space. The large format containers can include external features such as reinforcement ribs that are formed integrally with the container body, the reinforcement ribs having greater thicknesses than other portions of the walls of the container. The internal surfaces can include rounded corners and sloping towards a center of the container. Methods of manufacturing the large format polymeric containers include forming the polymeric main body using injection molding. The polymeric main body can be formed of multiple injection molded parts that are joined, or formed as a single piece. The injection molding can include applying between approximately 700 bar and approximately 1100 bar of pressure where at least a portion of the internal surface contacts a mold surface.

A cover for a forklift pocket of a shipping container, the cover comprising a base and a resilient flap which is secured to the base, the resilient flap extending from the base and being configured to substantially close the forklift pocket.

A wheeled shipping/transport cart includes a cart frame that supports a plurality of wheels. The cart frame supports a plurality of stackable trays. The trays include a tray frame with opposed end members, a plurality of longitudinal support members disposed between the opposed end members, and a plurality of upright members nesting with upright members of an adjacent tray. A support structure is disposed between the opposed end members to form an arc corresponding to a curved surface of an article to be supported by the support structure. A pin is received through each of the upright members of the plurality of stackable trays to retain the stackable trays in a stacked configuration.

Disclosed herein are exemplary embodiments of linings or liners (e.g., liners with corner reinforcement, etc.), methods of providing a liner or lining for a tank, and methods and apparatus for providing additional protection and/or reinforcement at the corners of a liner or lining. In an exemplary embodiment, a method generally includes positioning and attaching one or more corner attachments at one or more corners of a liner that are formed between the bottom and the one or more sides of the liner. The one or more corner attachments may be configured to provide additional protection and/or reinforcement at the one or more corners of the liner.

Methods and apparatuses for shipping of fabricated rectangular wooden modules used for construction of a wood frame structure and for shipping of other bulky items are described. In particular, the disclosure features a modified shipping container for shipping the fabricated rectangular wooden modules and methods of loading, transporting, and unloading the fabricated rectangular wooden modules. The modified shipping container features a removable header system and a removable cover. The fabricated rectangular wooden modules include a module length axis, a module width axis, a bounded wood perimeter, and joists or rafters oriented perpendicularly to the module length axis, and are stacked as cargo in the interior of the container such that joists or rafters of the fabricated rectangular wooden modules are substantially vertical and the length axes of the modules are substantially parallel to a length axis of the container.

A foldable shipping container adjustable between an unfolded condition in which said container is suitable for use as a cargo container, and a folded condition for when said container is not being used to store or ship cargo. The foldable shipping container having ways for controlling the rate at which the panels collapse.

A transportation container with a stacked arrangement of containers formed from plastic, in which the containers are formed with a container bottom and a peripheral container wall, wherein the container bottom is configured so as to cover a total area of a transportation pallet or a section thereof, the peripheral container walls are formed with an upright wall and reinforcements disposed thereon, the containers are releasably assembled from container components which have two lateral container components, wherein container components disposed adjacent to each other are connected together in an interlocking and/or force-fitting manner.

This disclosure is directed toward a heated tailgate for use in cold climates. The heated tailgate may be used with a self-contained heated portable vacuum slurry box. The slurry box generally includes a vacuum tank, a structure attached to the tank, a vertical tailgate, and a hook for pulling the slurry box onto a vehicle. The heated tailgate provides that the slurry cuttings within the slurry box which are adjacent to the tailgate do not freeze and provides for a way in which the tailgate may seal to the vacuum box.

An airdrop platform is provided that includes a pallet. Under the pallet are a first outrigger main body and a second outrigger main body. The first outrigger main body and second main body each include at least one outrigger finger. When airdropped, the outrigger main bodies and outrigger fingers are configured to move from under the pallet.

A tank container includes a frame having a front end opposite a rear end that defines a rear plane, a vessel extending between the front end and the rear end of the frame, and a discharge valve assembly. The discharge valve assembly comprises an internal bottom valve, an adaptor, and a discharge valve. The internal bottom valve is positioned within an interior volume of the vessel and the discharge valve is positioned entirely within the frame and offset at least one inch from the rear plane. The adaptor curves downwardly between the internal bottom valve and the discharge valve.
