Reusable, flexible, lightweight, low cost flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) for the delivery of granular proppant material for fracing that will allow the transport of higher weights of proppant, such as sand, per truck load. The invention includes a container made of a high strength, flexible material with a top opening for loading and deploying the proppant. The container can be lifted and deployed with a fork truck or crane. Alternatively, proprietary deployment systems, such as a conveyor system, can be used to quickly and efficiently deploy the proppant from the container at a desired site.

An industrial sized receptacle or bedding box for industrial fill material which is formed by a distal plate, a proximal plate, two side plates, and a bottom plate. The bedding box is equipped with a means for engagement by a secondary device, such as the bucket of an excavator or similar heavy machinery. The bedding box can then be manipulated by the secondary device to lift and tilt the bedding box to empty the contents of the bedding box through an opening in the proximal plate.

A tipping hopper includes a hopper body, hopper rotating supports and a tipping mechanism. The tipping mechanism comprises a connecting rod and a crank. One end of the connecting rod is hinged on the hopper body, and the other end is hinged with one end of the crank; and the other end of the crank is hinged on a crank rotating support through a crank rotating shaft. By optimizing a crank starting point and a crank end point, ensure hopper's position of receiving and discharging material is arranged at or near a dead point of the tipping mechanism so that the working condition of an impact force borne by a speed reducer device is optimized when the tipping hopper is charged and discharged. The mechanism also optimizes the position of the center of gravity of the hopper body and the position of the center of gravity of a charged hopper, so that the center of gravity of the hopper body is located between a hopper rotating hinge point and the connecting rod support hinge point near the hopper rotating hinge point. A force amplification effect of the connecting rod is used to greatly reduce the requirement for the output moment of the speed reducer, thereby greatly reducing the weight of the speed reducer device and the power of a tipping motor and saving motor power and energy consumption of a hoisting system.

A shipping container vibratory loading and unloading system includes a shipping container having an opening therein for transferring cargo; a chassis, the shipping container disposed thereon; and a vibratory system being configured to transfer the cargo relative to the shipping container. The vibratory system may be used to load and unload the cargo.

A container to be used with trucks, semitrailers, railway wagons and ships, so as to carry out a multimodal transport where the transport by land, railway and fluvial routes is combined as needed. The container has a metal parallelepiped structure which contains a truck bed receiving the material, and one end it is mounted over a hinging resource that allows its turn regarding a lower cross axis; and at another end it is connected with a hydraulic cylinder that is fixed over the basis of the mentioned metallic structure and has its end free of its piston linked to the upper and rear cross edge of the truck bed.
