A bulk material container includes a cuboid support structure having floor and roof frames supporting sheet metal cladding with floor wall, side walls and end walls completely closed, without loading and unloading openings. The roof frame delimits a roof opening for loading and unloading bulk material. The floor frame has a forklift pocket formed of tubular cross supports with a closed cross section and outwardly open ends in a container transverse direction. Unloading includes engaging a forklift in the pocket for tilting the container until bulk material falls out of the open roof. To increase container rigidity during unloading, the forklift pocket is a component of a U-shaped hollow support reinforcement, at which the pocket transitions into vertical reinforcement hollow supports at floor reinforcement nodes on both sides in the container transverse direction. The vertical reinforcement hollow supports are attached to the roof frame, forming roof reinforcement nodes.

An article reversing/discharging box 1 includes a box main body 2 that accommodates scrap, hook members 3, 4 having insertion holes 3a, 4a through which forks of a forklift are inserted above the box main body 2, and a reversing mechanism 5 capable of reversing the box main body 2. The reversing mechanism 5 includes a bottom plate 6 integrally extending from a lower end of the movable hook member 4 along the bottom surface 2d, and a hinge 7 provided at a distal end portion of the bottom plate 6. When the forks are inserted into the insertion holes 4a of the movable hook member 4 and the forks are removed from the insertion holes 3a of the fixed hook members 3, the box main body 2 is turnable about the distal end portion of the bottom plate 6 by the hinge 7.

A storage assembly comprising a tank having a cavity defined by a wall including a sealable port for receiving and storing a perishable organic fluid within the tank, the perishable organic fluid being chilled prior to transfer to the tank; a heat exchange structure at least partially located between an inner and outer wall surface of the wall, wherein prior to receiving the perishable organic fluid the heat exchange structure is configured to chill the cavity; and a sparging structure located within the tank, wherein the sparging structure is in fluid communication with a source of conditioning agent, wherein the sparging structure is configured to: transfer a first portion of the conditioning agent into the tank to purge the tank prior to receiving the perishable organic fluid; and sparge and pressurise the perishable organic fluid with a second portion of the conditioning agent after transfer and sealing within the tank.

A storage vessel includes a body, two or more internal chambers or sections which may hold fluids or debris, one or more bulkheads 108 within the body of the storage vessel to separate the sections, and a roll off attachment apparatus. The storage vessel also comprises a series of ports and hatches to provide access to the sections within the storage vessel. The storage vessel can be moved to and from excavation sites using the roll off attachment apparatus which allows the storage vessel to be attached to or lifted onto a truck.

The invention relates to a container arrangement comprising a plurality of connected containers, each for storing an automated storage and retrieval system. A coupling arrangement connects and aligns connected containers side-by-side. The containers may be intermodal containers. The invention also relates to a method for providing such an arrangement.

The present disclosure provides a plastic bladder for containing a liquid. The bladder includes a barrier layer and a recycled plastic layer adjacent to the barrier layer. The bladder further includes a fitting in contact with the layer.

A molded container assembly includes a pallet, a molded container, and a plurality of connection systems. The pallet supports the molded container thereon and includes stacking alignment structure for stacking the pallet on another molded container assembly. The molded container includes a tank portion, several leg supports, several buttresses, and several horizontally extending ribs. The tank portion includes several curved sidewalls and a fill opening. The leg supports include lower and upper sections that extend above the fill opening for spacing a pallet stacked on top of the molded container above the fill opening. The upper sections include pallet engaging structure for engaging pallets of at least two different types. The horizontally extending ribs minimize outward deflection due to hydrostatic loading and/or pressurization. The connection systems include washers that allow for shrinkage and expansion between the molded container and the pallet in a number of directions.

A storage silo for storing granular material has a container supported by a base, the container having a roof and at least one side wall for defining a storage space beneath the roof. The storage silo includes: (a) a feed port for receiving the granular material at a feedport height lower than the roof; (b) an auger for moving the granular material toward the roof within the storage space, the auger receiving the granular material via the feed port; and (c) first and second auger motors for cooperatively driving the auger, the first and second auger motors being disposed at opposing ends of the auger. A processor determines power levels for the first and second auger motors to minimize torsional strain on the auger. Granular material can be discharged from a first storage silo into a second storage silo positioned for cascading with the first storage silo.

A container for use with a vacuum truck includes a container body. The container body defines a door opening and a container closure including a door panel sized to fit the door opening. The door panel is hingedly attached relative to rear frame elements at the hinge side and is movable to occupy the door opening. The door panel defines a drain port under a horizontal beam. The drain port includes a stopcock having an open and a closed state. The stopcock is selectably movable from the open to the closed state or from the closed to the open state. The container body defines at least two additional ports situated above the midpoints of the frames and includes fittings to engage vacuum hoses such that any volume the vacuum truck draws through one of the hoses, the container body draws a corresponding volume through the other of the two ports.

The present disclosure relates to the field of lightweight logistics equipment manufacturing application, in particular to a lightweight aluminum alloy carriage. The lightweight aluminum alloy carriage comprises a bottom plate assembly, and the bottom plate assembly comprises a front end part and a rear end part which are arranged front and back on an axis; the front end part comprises a transversely paved aluminum alloy profile bottom plate, and the extrusion direction of the transversely paved aluminum alloy profile bottom plate is perpendicular to the axis of the bottom plate assembly; and the rear end part comprises aluminum alloy square tube cross beams and a longitudinally paved aluminum alloy profile bottom plate, and the aluminum alloy square tube cross beams are perpendicular to the axis of the bottom plate assembly.
