A locking device for containers on a vehicle chassis, having a housing, a plug-in pin which is mounted displaceably in the housing and/or a rotary pin which is mounted rotatably in the housing, wherein the plug-in pin and/or the rotary pin can be moved between an open position and a locked position. The invention was based on the problem of providing a locking device for containers which is triggered automatically by way of the loading operation. According to the invention, the problem is solved by the fact that a spring element which interacts with a triggering element acts on the plug-in pin or the rotary pin, wherein the triggering unit has at least one sensing bolt which protrudes out of the housing in the direction of a container fitting in the open position.

The present disclosure provides a block coupler for connecting block to block for septic tank and water treatment facility. The block coupler comprises a body having a flow path therein; an inflow part having an inflow hole formed on one side of the longitudinal ends of the body so as to communicate with the flow path; an outflow part having an outflow hole formed on the other side of the longitudinal ends of the body having the inflow part so as to communicate with the flow path; and a connecting part provided at the outer end of the body having the inflow part so as to prevent the body coupled to the block from being separated.

Examples include a cargo container for carrying items in an aircraft. The cargo container includes a first sidewall including a first length and a second sidewall including a second length extending transversely from the first sidewall. The first length is greater than the second length. The cargo container further includes a base sidewall extending from the first sidewall and the second sidewall, where the base sidewall is configured to support the cargo container on a cargo support surface of the aircraft. The cargo container further includes a lid configured to couple to the first sidewall, the second sidewall, or the base sidewall to at least partially cover a cavity formed by the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the base sidewall.

A wastewater container, or fluid capture tank, for capturing fluid from a flare is provided, along with methods for making and using the fluid capture tank. The fluid capture tank includes an open top tank to hold fluid for disposal, and a flare chute mounted to one end of the open top tank. The flare chute includes three panels, including a bottom panel mounted to a left wall panel and a right wall panel, wherein the three panels direct fluid from a line into the open top tank. A refractory lining is disposed on an inner surface of at least one of the three panels facing the line, wherein the refractory lining protects the inner surface from heat as hydrocarbons in the fluid are burned.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for manipulating and securing containers. In one example, a method includes attaching a tool to a first corner fitting of a first container and a second corner fitting of a second container; applying a torque to the rotatable pinion in order to cause the first corner fitting to engage the second corner fitting; and removing the tool from the first corner fitting and the second corner fitting.

A transport container for carrying objects includes a base for supporting the objects. Opposing first and second side walls are operatively connected to the base. At least one of the side walls is movable between an extended position and a contracted position. The transport container has a first width between the first and second side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the extended position and a second width between the side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the contracted position. The second width is different from the first width. The first and second side walls are also movable between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The transport container has a first height when the side walls are in the deployed position and a second height different than the first height when the side walls are in the collapsed position.

An apparatus, a vehicle and a method for securing intermodal cargo containers is provided. Couplers include pins and bottom supports to engage apertures and bottom surfaces of corner fittings for intermodal cargo containers. The couplers may also include sidewall supports to engage forward facing side surfaces of the corner fittings. The pins, bottom supports, and sidewall supports hold an intermodal cargo container in place through a relatively large range of acceleration forces without damaging the corner fittings of the intermodal cargo containers. The couplers are selectively movable from a retracted position to an extended position to engage the corner fittings of the intermodal cargo containers.

A self-storage facility. The facility comprises a plurality of commercial containers located at a single facility. The facility further comprises at least one dividing wall within an interior of each of the plurality of containers, thereby separating the interior into a plurality of storage volumes. The facility further comprises and least one access mechanism for each of the plurality of storage volumes.

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.
