A weatherproof container configured to be secured within an open style utility trailer wherein the weatherproof container is operable to protect objects disposed therein from the elements. The weatherproof container includes a body said body having a plurality of walls, a bottom and a top forming an interior volume. The plurality of walls having circumferentially disposed thereon expansion sections that are operable to provide height adjustment of the body. The expansion sections include an upper perimeter edge and lower perimeter edge with an expansion member integral therebetween. The body further includes at least one access seam operable to provide entry into the interior volume of the body. The body further includes a plurality of reinforcement straps on the top thereof. A plurality of access apertures are further provided being journaled through said plurality of walls. Tie down members are present to secure the body to a trailer.

A tamper-resistant system for delivering pre-packaged goods includes a container configured to receive pre-packaged goods therein; a label configured to be applied across an opening of the container such that the pre-packaged goods received in the container are not accessible without visibly, permanently damaging one or both of the label and the container; and a workflow program including a customer segment to be used by customers and intended recipients, a vendor segment to be used by vendor, and a delivery segment to be used delivery personnel. The vendor segment is configured to produce the label having information provided thereon regarding the pre-packaged goods, and a scannable code. During the delivery process, the delivery personnel is allowed to contact via a mobile device by scanning the scannable code which includes contact information of the intended recipient without the delivery personnel gaining access to the contact information of the intended recipient.

A flexible tank has an inner tank and at least one end closure with alternating interlaced hollow loops from two separate exterior layers. A nylon rope or similar securing element is passed through the hollow loops to use the exterior layers in an end closure to constrain the inner tank. An end flap may be welded to an exterior layer and positioned between the inner tank and the end closure. The hollow loops may be formed by folding over the exterior layers and cutting out complementary portions so the loops are in an alternating interlaced pattern.

A transport system for hauling non-hazardous bulk liquids via dry van with a trailer that contains two or more deflatable, flexible bladder tanks that are pressure tested and welded to the trailer bed of the dry van. The bed is pre-lined to avoid puncture. Upon delivery to its destination, the flexible, deflatable bladder tanks are drained completely and deflated, ready for re-use.

A system (typically on a bulk liquid transport vehicle) includes a liquid storage tank, one or more liquid storage compartments inside the liquid storage tank, an inflatable bladder inside each of the liquid storage compartments, a compressed air system to provide compressed air to inflate each one of the inflatable bladders, and one or more valves. Each of the valves is configured to control air flow between the compressed air system and a corresponding one of the inflatable bladders and/or to control air flow between the corresponding inflatable bladder and atmosphere.

An appliance containment device is provided which is able to enclose portions of an appliance, such as a water heater, or other object to contain dirt, water, and other contaminants that the appliance may release. In some embodiments, the device may include an encasement having a first end and a second end. The first end may be open and the second end may be coupled to a base. A cavity may be disposed in the encasement and may extend between the first end and the base. The device may include a mat. Optionally, a mat may be coupled to the base outside of the cavity and/or optionally a mat may be coupled to bottom portions of an appliance, and the mat may be positioned inside the cavity with the appliance so that portions of the mat may contact portions of the base.

A portable storage bin includes a base frame on the ground and a bin support frame operable relative to the base frame between a working position and a transport position which is reduced in height relative to the working position, and a storage envelope supported on the bin support frame to define a storage chamber for storing particulate material therein in the working position of the bin support frame in which the storage envelope is collapsible with the bin support frame from the working position to the transport position. The bin support frame has an upper frame portion from which the storage envelope is suspended in the working position and a central support post which is extendable in height between the upper frame portion and the base frame for raising the envelope from the transport position to the working position.
