A transportable vessel that is not connected to a reverbatory furnace and can be moved to different locations. The vessel includes a transfer conduit. A molten metal pump can be positioned in the transfer conduit to move molten metal out of an outlet in communication with the transfer conduit. The molten metal can be transferred out of the transportable vessel and into another structure without the need to tip or tilt the transportable vessel.

A method for transporting molten metal from one location to another. A transportable vessel that is not part of a reverbatory furnace, and that can be moved to different locations, has molten metal placed therein. The transportable vessel is then moved to a different location. A pump inside of the transportable vessel is then operated to move molten metal out of the transportable vessel.

A melt transportation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a container having an internal space in which melt can be accommodated and an opening through which the melt can be input/output; a cover part which has a cover member capable of closing the opening and which is positioned at the top of the container so as to be movable forward/backward with respect to the opening; and a support part having a rotary body, which can move forward/backward with respect to the cover part at the bottom of the cover part so that the support part can be in contact with the cover part. Therefore, according to embodiments of the present invention, the opening of the container can be easily opened/closed in a limited space. In addition, when the opening is opened/closed by moving the cover part, sagging or tilting of the cover part can be prevented. Thus, the cover part can be easily moved and exposure of at least a portion of the opening to the outside can be prevented. Therefore, a decrease in the temperature of the melt inside the container can be prevented or suppressed.
