A transport container configured for use with a dump truck tractor trailer. The container comprises: a) a pivotable lid configured to cover and expose an open top of the container, the open top allowing addition of contents to the container; b) a pivotable end gate configured to cover and expose an open back end of the container, the open back end allowing dumping of contents of the container; and c) at least one baffle inside the container, the baffle pivotably connected to opposing sidewalls of the container and forming a substantially vertical barrier preventing substantial movement of contents of the container past the baffle during dumping and transport when locked in a substantially vertical position by an operator-controlled retention mechanism operatively connected between the baffle and at least one of the opposing sidewalls of the container.

A dual tank structure includes first and second tanks with a common secondary containment structure which are all integrally supported on a common base frame. The common base frame includes longitudinal skids so as to be suitable for transport using a conventional winch truck. A passageway with an integral valve therein permits selective communication between the tanks. The common containment structure has a containment volume which is greater than a storage volume of a largest one of the first tank and the second tank and which is less than a combined storage volume of both the first tank and the second tank.

A system including devices and methods for transporting or storing materials uses slidable containers, or modules. The modules have recessed wheels that facilitate sliding movement when placed on tracks. The use of tracks allows for precise placement of the modules in close proximity to each other and the walls of a vessel or facility they are placed in. The modules may be disassembled for easy, compact storage or transport. The modules may be used with a lift platform adapted to accommodate the modules and tracks or rails for engaging the recessed wheels. By using closely aligned tracks, the transport module may be used to maximize efficient use of space when transporting cargo.

A large volume natural gas storage tank comprises a plurality of rigid tubular walls having opposing ends and intermediate segments with closed cross-sections extending along longitudinal axes. Each wall is interconnected at each end with respective ends of two other walls such that interconnected interiors define an interior fluid storage chamber. Exterior surfaces of planarly successive interconnected walls define sides of the storage tank. The tank further comprises exterior support structures each extending between the exterior surfaces of the walls forming each side of the storage tank and reinforcing the storage tank against dynamic loading from fluid in the interior fluid storage chamber. The tank further comprises closure plates each extending at least partially across exterior surfaces of the exterior support structures. Interior surfaces of the closure plates, interior surfaces of the exterior support structures, and exterior surfaces of walls at least partially define an auxiliary fluid storage chamber.

A construction material transport container includes four side doors that form substantially all of two side walls of the container. The container includes transversely disposed forklift pockets that can be used to load the container onto a flatbed truck. With the container on a truck and the side doors open, new construction materials can be loaded onto the container from both sides. Both the container and the new materials can be delivered to a job side by a single delivery using a truck-attached forklift. The empty container can then be used as a receptacle for recyclable materials. The container further includes roll-off or hook lift vehicle tracks configured so that the container can be picked up and hauled to a recycling or refuse center. A rear door of the container can be opened so that the container can be tilted by the vehicle to offload the used material.

A horizontal storage module (HSM) includes a body defining a plurality of compartments configured for receiving canisters, wherein the compartments are arranged in a first row at a first elevation and a second row at a second elevation higher than the first elevation, and wherein at least a portion of one compartment in the first row is in the same horizontal axis location as at least a portion of one compartment in the second row. A method of manufacturing the HSM includes positioning adjacent segments. A carriage assembly for the HSM includes a frame and an actuation means for lifting a cask containing a canister. A method of lifting includes receiving a cask and lifting a cask for delivery of the canister to the HSM.

The object of the invention is an air cargo container (1) comprising a rectangular, planar bottom side (2) for accommodating a transported product (8), a rectangular, planar top side (6), at least four connecting profiles (10) and an least triangular, planar intermediate element (12) made of a flexible material, wherein the connecting profiles (10) each connect one corner (11) of the bottom side (2) and one corner (11) of the top side (6) with one another in order to form sides (3) of the air cargo container (1), a guide device (19) is disposed on each of at least three connecting profiles (10) and/or a guide device (19) is disposed on each of two opposing edges (21) of the bottom side (2) and on at least one edge (21) of the top side (6) or on each of two opposing edges (21) of the top side (6) and on at least one edge (21) of the bottom side (2) such that the guide devices (19) define a plane, and the intermediate element (12) comprises a snap-fitting means (20) at each corner (14), wherein said snap-fitting means has a variable length and is designed to snap into the guide device (19).

A corrugated, foldable, cargo restraint panel may be placed adjacent to a stack of cargo units in a cargo container. The cargo restraint panel may comprise an extruded base panel formed from a polymer material with the base panel comprising a first sheet integrally joined to a second sheet by corrugation flutes forming a unitary, integral structure of the base panel. Tails of the load restraint strips may be wrapped around the cargo restraint panel, tensioned, and secured together. The wrapped load restraint strip tails may be tensioned using a tensioning tool or using elastic strips, and the wrapped and tensioned tails may be secured together.

Hauling containers, vehicles having hauling containers, and methods of forming and installing hauling containers are disclosed. In one aspect, a hauling container includes a body defining a storage volume of at least two cubic yards. The body is formed, at least in part, of a polymer material or a non-metallic recyclable material, or both. In another aspect, a vehicle includes a chassis and a hauling container removably mounted to the chassis. The hauling container includes a body defining a storage volume. The body is formed, at least in part, of a polymer material or a non-metallic recyclable material, or both. In yet another aspect, a method includes forming a body of a hauling container. The body defines a storage volume, and is formed, at least in part, of a polymer material or a non-metallic recyclable material, or both. The body is configured to sit on a chassis of a vehicle.
