A method for mounting an inner support beam of a container, including: fixing a bottom support beam and a back support beam to a container body in a reusable and detachable manner; supporting the bottom support beam on a floor of the container body, and supporting the back support beam on a side wall corrugated plate. The back support beam is supported in a groove of the side wall corrugated plate, and the top end of the back support beam is connected to the side wall corrugated plate in the reusable and detachable manner. The end of the bottom support beam is jointed to the bottom end of the back support beam in the reusable and detachable manner and in a manner of restricting a movement of the bottom end of the back support beam in a direction away from the side wall corrugated plate.

A fastening system for a metallic cellular shipping container floor includes a potted insert with a body disposed between a top flange at one end and a bottom flange at another end. The body defines a channel from the top flange leading towards the bottom flange and has a depth not exceeding a distance from the top flange to the bottom flange. The system also includes a hole formed in a panel of a metallic cellular shipping container floor with a depth identical to or greater than a distance from a top portion of the top flange to a bottom portion of the bottom flange. Finally, the system includes a self-tapping screw disposed within the channel of the potted insert, and including a threaded shaft with tip at a distal end of the shaft, and a screw head at a proximal end of the shaft.

Disclosed are apparatus, systems, and methods, including a ground transport drive container comprising an outer container having a cuboid shape and comprising a plurality of fittings for securing the outer container to another apparatus; and a drive wheel assembly. The drive wheel assembly comprises one or more wheels and a deployment mechanism secured to the one or more wheels. An actuating member actuates the drive wheel assembly between a stowed configuration and one or more deployed configurations. In the stowed configuration, the drive wheel assembly is housed entirely within the outer container. In the one or more deployed configurations, the drive wheel assembly extends from the outer container.

A hopper-in-frame for transporting granular proppant material, such as oil well sands subjected to fracturing, having a top loading through a hatch in the roof and lateral gravity discharge opening at the level of the hopper floor and not below the hopper through a lower side discharge opening where the load asymmetry is compensated for by the inclusion of an asymmetric roof that includes at least a portion of the roof asymmetrically lowered, such as a sloping roof or sloping to the side of the wall of download. The hopper-in-frame is supported and delimited by a frame that in turn is compatible to be incorporated in intermodal cargo containers.

A container including vertical side walls and a horizontal bottom wall coupled with the vertical side walls to define an interior volume. At least one vertical side wall includes an inner wall, a spaced apart outer wall, a top rail coupled with the inner wall, a bottom sill coupled with the inner wall, and a plurality of vertical supports coupled with the inner wall and extending between the top rail and the bottom sill. The inner wall has a first surface area and the outer wall portion has a second surface area that is less than the first surface area. A frame is coupled with the inner wall and supports the outer wall and extends between two of the plurality of vertical supports, the top rail, and the bottom sill. A panel is supported by the frame and disposed on the outer wall.

A frame is coupled with the inner wall and supports the outer wall and extends between two of the plurality of vertical supports, the top rail, and the bottom sill. A panel is supported by the frame and disposed on the outer wall.

An exemplary approach for protecting floorings in containers may utilize a first ledger attached to an upper portion of a first support beam associated with a foundational base assembly. A portion of the first ledger may protrude outward in a first horizontal direction from the upper portion of the first support beam. A second ledger may be attached to an upper portion of a second support beam next to the first support beam. A portion of the second ledger may protrude outward in a second horizontal direction from the upper portion of the second support beam. The second horizontal direction may face the first horizontal direction. A support panel may be placed on top of the portion of the first ledger and the portion of the second ledger. The support panel may have a length proximate to a distance between the first support beam and the second support beam.
