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 system and method for transporting building materials is provided. The system generally comprises end units and interior units having bolster assemblies and cradles. The bolster assembly preferably comprises a beam, D-rings, and a plurality of attachment plates configured to allow for the attachment of a cradle having a shape configured to securely fit the shape of a building material. Two or more end units of the system may be secured to a transport vehicle, such as a railcar, and building materials may be placed within the cradles, thus stabilizing the building materials and protecting them from damage. Two or more interior units may then be used to create layers of building materials before being topped with two or more end units. A securing member may be used to fasten the end units and interior units to one another, which secures the one or more layers of building materials to the transport vehicle in a way that will prevent shifting of the building materials during transport.

A shipping container for a personal watercraft, in which a first and second pair of roller guides attach to a pallet for removably receiving a pair of trusses that support a personal watercraft thereon, the trusses movable between a first position for loading or unloading the personal watercraft and a second position for storing and transporting of the personal watercraft at an oblique angle. A method of containing a personal watercraft in a shipping container is disclosed.

The availability of a container crane or a dock is improved. A cargo handling method includes steps of: moving a lighter 601 to a different dock, the lighter 601 carrying a freight container wheeled platform 501 loaded on the lighter 601, the freight container wheeled platform 501 carrying a container 401 placed on the freight container wheeled platform 501 in a container yard; and unloading the freight container wheeled platform 501 from the lighter 601 to the different dock.

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.

The present invention relates to a milling unit, in particular to a milling unit of a road milling machine, a transport vehicle with a transport device and a vehicle, as well as a method for transporting a milling unit, in particular using a transport vehicle according to the present invention.

A roller platform apparatus includes a rigid plate, a set of bearings mounted on the rigid plate, and a set of one or more bars attached to the rigid plate. The set of bars is configured to restrict movement of a load into a space between the set of bearings and lower than the height of the one of more bars, and the height of the one or more bars is lower than the height of the first set of bearings and higher than the rigid plate. At least one advantage in this approach is that an equipment rack can be transported without the use of casters that are permanently attached to the equipment rack.

Provided is a wind turbine component transport arrangement including a plurality of rotor blade support frames; a plurality of nacelle support frames; and a plurality of tower section support frames; wherein the dimensions of a support frame correspond to the dimensions of a stack of standard containers. Also provided is a method of transporting wind turbine components on a containership using such a wind turbine component transport arrangement.

A loading frame includes a base and two walls arranged on opposite sides of the base. The walls are flexible and are arranged to permit movement, preferably sliding, between the wall and the load space's side, the wall being supported on the side. A system and a method for loading articles utilize the loading frame.

A frame rack system for the transportation, storage and inventory of commodities using intermodal open and closed frame racks configured to be compatible with ISO shipping container conventions. The open framed rack is preloaded and secured for transport or staging by yard personnel from a ground level position. ISO compatible corner pin blocks and forklift pockets allow for flexibility in handling loads at departure and destination. Material handling equipment compatibility allows for materials to be shipped and stored at unimproved sites. Tie-down rings allow for many options in securing loads. The stackability of units provides for an overall working deck height of less than 6 feet. Closed framed racks fit over the open frame racks to allow for multiple decks. Color-coded identifiers and identification codes facilitate storage and inventory. The present invention offers a simple, identifiable, contents-protected, multi-modal logistical solution, incorporating a “One Man One Machine” philosophy.
