A coupling device for engagement with two corner castings of two intermodal containers stacked upon each other includes a positioning member and upper and lower coupling members. The lower coupling member has a lower neck portion, a lower coupling portion, and first and second shoulder surfaces disposed at a juncture between the lower neck and coupling portions. With the engagement of the shoulder surfaces with the corner casting on the lower container, the lower coupling member can be retained in the corner casting to prevent undesired separation of the containers when the containers are subjected to a lateral force during rolling with winds and waves at sea upon shipping.

The invention relates to a container lashing bridge for arranging on deck of a container ship, in particular a barge for transporting containers, preferably for offshore transportation, having at least two stanchions and having at least one support, wherein lashing means for lashing at least one container can be attached to the at least one support, preferably via lashing plates which have lashing lugs and are arranged on the stanchions or on the support, characterized in that at least one load-transferring element is arranged on deck and in that the container lashing bridge is arranged at least substantially on the at least one load-transferring element.

A collection tank for mounting under a floor of a building for collecting water from an area under the floor comprises upper and lower tank portions removably securable by rotatable mating of tabs in cavities. Additionally, a pump platform of the tank is formed by a plurality of ridges which form therebetween a channel so that the water is collectable in the tank between the ridges. Furthermore, the upper and lower tank portions are separable, and a width of the top of the upper tank portion is smaller than a width of the open top of the lower tank portion such that the upper tank portion can be received in the lower tank portion in an inverted orientation, in which the collection tank is inoperable for collecting the water, so as to decrease a height of the collection tank.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of securing containers, comprising: connecting a first strap end connector of a tension strap to a first strap connector fitting on a first container, wherein: the first strap end connector comprises a first hook portion configured to engage a first recess in the first strap connector fitting, and the first strap end connector comprises a first protrusion configured to engage a second recess in the first strap connector fitting; connecting a second strap end connector of the tension strap to a second strap connector fitting on a second container, wherein: the second strap end connector comprises a first hook portion configured to engage a first recess in the second strap connector fitting, and the first strap end connector comprises a first protrusion configured to engage a second recess in the second strap connector fitting; and tensioning the tension strap.

The invention relates to a mobile storage system having a mobile container with an automated storage and retrieval system arranged inside. The automated storage and retrieval system has a storage grid structure having vertical members defining multiple columns, such as storage columns for storing storage bins on top of each other in vertical stacks. The vertical members are interconnected at their upper ends by a first rail system arranged to guide at least one bin handling vehicle thereon. The bin handling vehicle is configured to raise storage bins from, and lower storage bins into, the storage columns, and to transport the storage bins above the storage columns. The invention also relates to a method for providing such a system. The invention also relates to a mobile storage system having a plurality of mobile containers connected together and a method for providing such a system.

In some embodiments, systems, apparatuses and methods are provided to support the delivery of products. Some embodiments provide a retail delivery locker system comprising: multiple delivery lockers comprising: a housing enclosing an interior product cavity; a door enabling access to the product cavity; first and second docking couplers each configured to securely dock with a docking station and a docking coupler of another locker; and a communication link between the first and second docking couplers; and multiple docking stations each comprising: a locker coupler configured to secure a locker with the docking station; a station control circuit that obtains a first locker identifier from a first locker, confirms the first locker is scheduled to dock with a docking station, and authorize the locking of the docking station with the first docking coupler; and a transceiver enabling the station control circuit to communicate with a remote central control system.

The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly, to a container having an anti-vibration property so that the container does not shake in vibration.

The container comprises a bottom part, a ceiling part facing the bottom part, a sidewall part connecting the bottom part to the ceiling part, and a rack installed to be fixed in an inner space that is surrounded by the bottom part, the ceiling part, and the sidewall part.

A vertical fluid storage tank includes an oval-shaped body having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending between the first and second ends. The body defines an interior fluid storage cavity and has a major axis and a minor axis along a horizontal cross section through the body. The fluid storage tank further includes a top wall at the first end of the body, a bottom wall at the second end of the body, and a frame member connected to the sidewall of the body. The frame member includes a first portion that extends longitudinally along the sidewall of the body and a second portion that extends along the bottom wall and is connected to the first portion. The fluid storage tank further includes a connection port on the sidewall of the body adapted for connection to the connection port on an adjacent fluid storage tank.

A clamping device secures an equipment rack during shipping. The clamping device includes a gripping portion having first and second surfaces positionable along opposing sides of a respective one of a front and rear lateral logistic bar. The clamping device also includes a clamp mechanism attached to the gripping portion for movement between a disengaged position and an engaged position to selectively engage the first and second surfaces to the opposing sides of the respective one of the front and rear lateral logistic bars positioned adjacent to an equipment rack within a carrier shipping enclosure. A mounting feature is attached to the gripping portion to hold one end of a longitudinal logistic bar positioned along a lateral side of the equipment rack.

Structural modules for layout of modular power plants are disclosed. The structural modules comprise a substation module and a power house module, basically formed by platforms having stringers and crossbars designed for the mounting of containment sheets. Both modules include interconnections including, for example, projecting tabs for the mechanical mounting of fixation elements enabling the connection between the modules and the mounting of columns, crossbars and lifting frame so as to form a structural skeleton suitable to contain the canopies, hinged doors and sliding doors and other mechanical structures making up the spatial areas designed for the installation of various equipment, such as a group of generators, fuel tanks and tanks for containment of liquids, motors, busbars. The substation module forms a support base whose stringers and crossbars are lined with containment sheets which, in turn, are secured by welds.
