Method and apparatus for wrapping a shipment
Embodiments relate to a cover, a method of covering, and a cover system for shipments of products transported by air with ULDs. The cover system can be adapted to any skid such as wooden or plastic pallets used for smaller loads used in air transport or any other mode of transportation. The cover system can include one or multiple parts. Each part of the cover system can be made of one or more layers. Each layer can be made of a single material or a combination of different materials. Different parts of the cover can be made of different materials or different combination of materials. The cover system provides thermal protection to temperature-sensitive products in or on the ULD. The cover system maintains the proper relative humidity level and gas concentrations for horticultural product loads. The cover system decreases the amount of water vapor released in the cargo holds.
LOGISTICS BRACKET FOR USE IN SECURING AND DECKING FREIGHT
A bracket for releasably securing a logistics bar within a trailer or containment vessel to help prevent shifting of freight during transport. The bracket comprises an elongate body having two or more hangers. The hangers are releasably securable to walls of the trailer or containment vessel to hang the bracket from one of the walls. The body has one or more slots therein that releasably receive an end of a logistics bar to permit the logistics bar to be releasably secured to the bracket. The bracket is securable at different locations along the wall of the trailer or containment vessel thereby permitting the positioning of the logistics bar within the trailer or containment vessel at a desired location.
OPEN ACCESS WATER TANK TRUCK BODY
A water truck body comprising a floor, two side walls, a front wall and a rear wall, a plurality of cylindrical baffle bodies with open bottom ends, a top plate situated on top of each of the cylindrical baffle bodies so that the cylindrical baffle body is centered underneath the top plate, and a tubular support structure. Each of the plurality of cylindrical baffle bodies comprises a plurality of apertures configured to permit liquid to flow through them. The tubular support structure is configured to hold the top plates and provide structural stability to the side walls, front wall and rear wall.

Cargo Carousel System for Shipping Containers and Method for Using Same
A cargo carousel system for shipping containers is provided that can include a frame configured to fit within a shipping container and a cargo carousel mechanism in the frame that can move cargo pod platforms, configured for holding cargo pods, in a continuous loop path in the frame. The system can further include two frames side-by-side in the shipping, each frame with its own cargo carousel system.
ROD CRATE
A crate includes a frame and first and second rod guides configured to be spaced along the frame. The first rod guide includes a first plurality of fingers, and the second rod guide comprises a second plurality of fingers. The first and second plurality of fingers are configured to be aligned with each other to define a first rod receiving slot between two adjacent fingers of the first plurality of fingers and a second rod receiving slot between two adjacent fingers of the second plurality of fingers. The first and second rod receiving slots are configured to accept a rod from a first side of the frame. A cribbing bar has a plurality of saddles, wherein a first saddle is aligned with the first and second rod receiving slots. A shaft extends through an aperture of the cribbing bar. A method of arranging a plurality of elongated rods is described.
CONNECTING COUPLING FOR WEBBING STRAPS USED WITH E-TRACK LOCK-DOWN STOWAGE MEANS
Disclosed embodiments provide a coupling configured to be compatible with E-fittings used in an E-track system. The coupling can be used for securing loads within a cargo container. The coupling includes a body having a rectangular shape or cylindrical shape. Multiple slots are formed in the body, each slot of the plurality of slots configured to receive an E-fitting. The coupling enables connection to straps that are too short to be used in a single E-track connection arrangement for the securing of a freight load.
AIR CURTAIN GENERATING DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR ENTERING A TANK
The invention relates to a air curtain generating device (10) for reducing the flow of particles and gas exiting from a manhole (2) on a tank (1). The device (10) is arranged to be attached adjacent to a rim (2.1) of the manhole (2), and has a central aperture (11) with a size and shape configured to let a person pass through said aperture (11) when entering and exiting said tank (1). The device (10) further comprises:a ring-shaped air nozzle manifold channel (12) surrounding said aperture (11) the air nozzle manifold channel (12) is arranged with a set of nozzles (13) arranged along the periphery of the aperture (11), said set of nozzles (13) is further arranged so that air flowing out through the nozzles (13) is directed towards a focus (F) inside (1.1) the tank (1), generating a continuous air curtain (100) tapering towards the focus (F), andan air connection on the air nozzle manifold channel (12) to connect the air nozzle manifold channel (12) to a source of pressurized air. The invention also relates to a method for entering and exiting a tank (1) having a manhole (2), while shielding the area outside (1.2) the manhole (2) from the atmosphere inside (1.1) the tank 1
Mobile transporter with slidable stabilizer
A mobile transporter is provided. The transporter includes a lower frame structure, an upper frame structure, a plurality of posts coupled to the lower frame structure and the upper frame structure, a roller assembly provided on the lower frame structure, a panel that extends from and retracts into the transporter, and a wheel that supports the panel, when the panel is extended from the transporter between a second partially open state and a fully open state.
Soft-Sided Bulk Material Containers with Hold-Ins
A system, method and apparatus for transferring bulk material for transport, the method includes placing a first quantity of bulk material in a soft-sided bulk material container, extending a first hold-in across the container from a first side of the container to a second location, the second location being substantially toward a second side of the container, wherein the first hold-in is secured to the first side of the container, securing the first hold-in to the second location and placing a second quantity of bulk material in the container, the second quantity covering the first hold-in and securing the first hold-in to the second location with a weight of the second quantity of bulk material.
