A proppant discharge system has a container with an outlet positioned in a bottom thereof and a gate affixed adjacent the outlet so as to be movable between a first position covering the outlet to a second position opening the outlet, and a support structure having an actuator thereon. The container is removably positioned on the top surface of the support structure. The actuator is engageable with gate so as to move the gate from the first position to the second position. A conveyor underlies the container so as to receive proppant as discharged from the container through the outlet. The container can be a ten foot ISO container.

The present invention relates to a roll-off transport device, particularly a roll-off tipper, comprising a bottom structure, a connecting structure which is connected, particularly rigidly, to the bottom structure on the face side and protrudes upwardly therefrom, and a loading arm connection arranged on the connecting structure for the loading arm of a swap body vehicle. The present invention also relates to a transport unit comprising a swap body vehicle and a roll-off transport device according to the present invention.

An apparatus is provided for improving sand storage at a well site, and a system and method are provided for using the apparatus. The apparatus, which may be referred to as a portable tunnel structure, include a hopper having a perimeter edge and surfaces that are sloped downward and inward to a plurality of hopper outlets, a conveyor system having a conveyor belt disposed below the plurality of hopper outlets, and a support framework including a horizontal base structure for supporting the support framework on a load bearing stratum, horizontal hopper reinforcement beams secured along the outer perimeter edge of the hopper, and outer vertical support beams extending between the horizontal base structure and the horizontal beams.

A container rollout warehousing system is contemplated that includes at least two inter-connectable modular platforms with each platform having at least one roller at one end. The two or more platforms are inter-connectable such that the central longitudinal axis of the platforms are collinear and the two or more platforms are also vertically stackable in a spaced apart relationship to receive cargo therebetween.

A proppant discharge system has a container with an outlet formed at a bottom thereof and a gate slidably affixed at the outlet so as to be movable between a first position covering the outlet to second position opening the outlet, and a support structure having an actuator thereon. The container is removably positioned on the top surface of the support structure. The actuator is engageable with gate so as to move the gate from the first position to the second position. A conveyor underlies the container so as to receive proppant as discharged from the container through the outlet. The container is a ten foot ISO container.

A proppant storage vessel has a container having a first end wall, a second end wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, a top wall and a bottom wall. The first and second end walls extend between opposite ends of the first and second side walls. The walls define an interior volume of the container. The walls have a rigidity suitable for retaining no less than 30,000 pounds of proppant therein. A top hatch is formed centrally on the top wall and is movable between an open position and a closed position. A bottom hatch is formed generally centrally on the bottom wall of the container and is movable between an open position and a closed position.

A bulk material shipping container in one embodiment including a pallet, a bottom compartment mounted on the pallet, a top compartment mounted on the bottom compartment and movable from a retracted position relative to the bottom compartment to an expanded position relative to the bottom compartment, a plurality of top compartment supporting assemblies configured to support the top compartment in the expanded position relative to the bottom compartment, and configured to release the top compartment from the expanded position to enable the top compartment to move downwardly into the retracted position, a material unloading assembly, a material loading assembly, and an extension assembly.
