A bulk material shipping container in one embodiment including a pallet, a bottom compartment mounted on the pallet, a top compartment mounted on the bottom compartment and movable from a retracted position relative to the bottom compartment to an expanded position relative to the bottom compartment, a plurality of top compartment supporting assemblies configured to support the top compartment in the expanded position relative to the bottom compartment, and configured to release the top compartment from the expanded position to enable the top compartment to move downwardly into the retracted position, a material unloading assembly, a material loading assembly, and an extension assembly.

The present invention is a movable pallet for loading and securing goods into and out of a shipping container. The dimensions of the movable pallet can be conveniently and selectively adjusted both in length and in width. These adjustments can be further secured by removable locking devices at various locations along the side of the movable pallet, as well as around all of its corners. The versatile adjustment mechanism of the present invention allows goods to be securely transferred among containers of various dimensions during maritime and land transportation.

An apparatus is provided for improving sand storage at a well site, and a system and method are provided for using the apparatus. The apparatus, which may be referred to as a portable tunnel structure, include a hopper having a perimeter edge and surfaces that are sloped downward and inward to a plurality of hopper outlets, a conveyor system having a conveyor belt disposed below the plurality of hopper outlets, and a support framework including a horizontal base structure for supporting the support framework on a load bearing stratum, horizontal hopper reinforcement beams secured along the outer perimeter edge of the hopper, and outer vertical support beams extending between the horizontal base structure and the horizontal beams.

An intermodal container comprising: a bottom frame; a first side end wall configured to slide into a first side of the bottom frame, the first side end wall is height adjustable with respect to the bottom frame; a second side end wall configured to slide into a second side of the bottom frame, the second side opposite of the first side, the second side end wall is height adjustable with respect to the bottom frame; a first vertical limiting member configured to attach to the top of the first side end wall and the second side end wall; where the intermodal container is configured to store, transport, and secure items; and where the first vertical limiting member is configured to limit items from moving in a vertical direction.

A modular container is provided having a base. A plurality of panels is coupled to the base to form an enclosure having an internal volume. The plurality of panels substantially defines an outer perimeter, and substantially defines a top circumferential edge of the modular container. At least one door provides access to the internal volume. A roof having a shoebox flange is coupled to the plurality of panels. The shoebox flange circumscribes the roof and defines the outer perimeter of the roof. The shoebox flange fits over the top circumferential edge. The roof comprises a plurality of individual roof panels that are fastenable together. The modular container, when in a disassembled and flat-packed state, fits at least one of horizontally and vertically in an ISO container.

A storage and transport container comprising: a lower front member; a first post attached to the first end of the lower front member; a second post attached to the second end of the lower front member; a floor front member attached to the first post and the second post, and located below the lower front member; a rotatable gate rotatably attached to the lower front member, and lockably attachable to the first post and the second post; a first tab extending from the first post, with a first hole located in the first tab; a first spring loaded gate lock attached to the rotatable gate, the first spring loaded gate lock comprising a first gate locking member configured to generally constantly be forced into a locked position by the spring and configured to slide into the first hole in order to lock the first spring loaded gate lock.

A system for covering two or more containers and associated methods are provided. In some embodiments, the system includes (1) one or more corner components configured to be positioned at corners of the two or more containers; (2) one or more elongated components configured to be positioned between sides of the two or more containers; and (3) one or more side supporting components positioned at the sides of the two or more containers. At least one of the one or more elongated component is formed with a socket configured to accommodate an extension of at least one of the one or more side supporting components such that the at least one elongated component and the at least one side supporting component are securely connected.

A container for transporting cargo includes: a corner member that is disposed at a lower corner of the container and includes an inner space and a bottom hole that is formed in a lower end portion of the corner member to communicate with the inner space; and a locking unit that is used to fasten two adjacent containers when a plurality of the containers are stacked in multiple stages, is movable between a storage position at which the locking unit is stored in the inner space of the corner member and a use position at which the locking unit protrudes to the outside through the bottom hole of the corner member, and fastens the two adjacent containers at the use position. The locking unit may be housed and easily stored in the inner space of the corner member to reduce the risk of being lost during storage.

A flexible fluid storage tank and method for assembling said tank, with specific emphasis on a system that may be easily road transported and field assembled with little or no tools, while preserving the flexibility of being tailored in size, shape and configuration to the user's needs with minimal customization and disassembly capabilities.

A storage facility. The facility comprises a plurality of load-bearing containers located at a single facility. The facility further comprises a climate controlled enclosure comprising a skin and providing a volume around the plurality of load-bearing containers. The climate controlled enclosure further comprises a ceiling above and positioned to shield an uppermost level of the plurality of load-bearing containers from outdoor environmental exposure.
