A surface mount assembly may comprise at least one connector set, including a mount anchor and mount fitting that are configured to lockingly engage, and a remote release assembly for unlocking the two. The surface mount assembly may include a catch to catch the mount fitting as it drops from engagement with the mount anchor. The surface mount assembly may further include a guide member for guiding the mount fitting into engagement with the mount anchor. The surface mount assembly may further include a case mount assembly that is crashworthy, in that it is configured to transfer the loads from cargo contained in the case to the mount fitting, while largely bypassing the case. The surface mount assembly may also include two connector sets, where the remote release assembly is disposed between the two and is configured to simultaneous release each of the two from engagement.

The present disclosure relates to vehicle technology, and more particularly, to a vehicle for carrying a container. The vehicle includes: a vehicle body, at least one locking mechanism provided on the vehicle body and a microcontroller unit communicatively connected to each of the at least one locking mechanism and configured to control each of the at least one locking mechanism to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. Each of the at least one locking mechanism is connected fixedly to the container when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, such that the container is fixed to the vehicle body. The vehicle is advantageous in that it is capable of locking and unlocking the container in a simple way, thereby improving the efficiency of the vehicle in transportation of the container.

A pallet adapter, system and method for restraining air cargo during flight are disclosed. A pallet adapter shifts a shipping container in an inboard direction of an aircraft so that the container does not contact an interior structure of the aircraft. Rigid restraints restrain the container from moving in the vertical direction during flight. Corner fittings restrain the container from moving in the fore-and-aft direction and the side-to-side direction during flight.

The present invention relates to a multifunctional locking device for a container of a trailer, in which a lock is operated by the weight of the container, whereby it is possible to automatically or manually lock the container to the trailer, and it is possible to prevent movement and disengagement of the container due to the increased fixing force of the container during trailer operation, thereby improving stability.

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 automatic container interlock apparatus having a central shaft, a drive wheel positioned on the drive wheel, a locking lever positioned upper end of central shaft configured to rotate between a locked and an unlocked position, a first vertical slide extension and second vertical slide extension, said first vertical slide extension configured to vertically extend and collapse, the first vertical slide extension and the second vertical slide extension having a second collar slider, a shaft pin, a pair of flex arms having a first flex arm assembly and a second flex arm assembly, the first flex arm assembly pivotably connected to the shaft pin and a first collar slider, the second flex arm assembly having pivotably connected to said shaft pin and the second collar slider, an expansion device between first flex arm assembly and second flex arm assembly, a first rotational drive arm and a second rotational drive arm.

Improved corner piece to form a corner of a container, that contains a movable coupling element, which is at least movable between a maximally protruding position, whereby a coupling part of the coupling element protrudes maximally from the improved corner piece on the level of a grip opening, such that it can serve as coupling element for coupling to a corner piece of another container, and a fully retracted position, in which the movable coupling element is completely inside the improved corner piece and the grip opening is left free.
