A container transport system and method of operation can include: providing a vehicle having a subframe assembly coupled thereto, the subframe assembly including a lifting arm and a clamping arm; clamping the clamping arm onto a corner fitting of a cargo container; raising the lifting arm for raising a portion of the cargo container; inserting a jack stand below the cargo container; lowering the lifting arm for tilting the cargo container on the jack stand, the jack stand configured as a fulcrum; positioning a container trailer below the cargo container; and raising the lifting arm for pivoting the cargo container on the jack stand and lowering the cargo container onto the container trailer.

An extendible conveyor system having an extendible conveyor configured to extend into a container, at least one belt on the extendible conveyor configured to transport an irregular parcel from the container to a base end of the extendible conveyor, and a transfer mechanism configured to move the irregular parcel from the at least one belt to a shelf. A method includes transporting an irregular parcel on the at least one belt from the container to a base end of the extendible conveyor and moving the irregular parcel from the at least one belt to a shelf using the transfer mechanism.

Examples provide a method and apparatus for transporting equipment using a stackable transport frame. A set of adjustable brackets are removably attached to a portion of the stackable transport frame. The set of adjustable brackets are oriented in a downward and vertical configuration which is perpendicular to the transport frame to removably secure the stackable transport frame to a trailer. A set of parallel frame members define a wheel securing aperture to accommodate one or more wheels on the equipment being transported. A support member on the transported equipment sits within a longitudinal channel. A set of stacking brackets are configured to support a set of stackable transport frames in a vertical stacked configuration during storage.

Conventionally, loading and unloading pallets occurred in a factory like environment, wherein traditional systems were used for stacking pallets vertically for retrieval thereof. However, these pallets arrive from a roller conveyer and such set-ups are purely based on the concept of storage purpose and lack in palletizing and depalletizing in effective manner. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide pallet loading and unloading apparatus for automated objects manipulation, wherein pallet(s) from a forklift jack arrives on a linear slider assembly for movement of pallet from loading area to manipulating area using two double-sided cylinders associated thereof. Rollers comprised in apparatus provide flexibility to linear slider to slide freely on top. Manipulator performs palletizing and depalletizing as applicable. During depalletizing, empty pallet is slide down using actuator(s) and guided pins and pushed back to bottom rollers which is below a L-channel and is pushed out towards bottom ramp at pallet exit area.

A seal head assembly includes a plurality of heat seal plates defining a corresponding plurality of heating areas, each heat seal plate including a heating element to independently control the temperature of the corresponding heating area.

An identifier associated with one or more assets is obtained in response to a reader component reading a tag associated with one or more assets as the one or more assets traverse a conveyor apparatus. At least partially in response to the obtaining of the identifier, a storage unit of a plurality of storage units is caused to automatically rotate to a loading location to receive the one or more assets.

A hinged and pronged plate apparatus for loading railway gondola cars with bulk material, such as municipal solid waste transported by trucks, in a cost-effective and spatially-convenient manner. The railway loading system can have multiple tiers, including a top tier, one or more middle tiers, and bottom tier, which provide working platforms and loading platforms for the gondola cars and vehicles containing the waste and workers that operate the system. The hinged and pronged plate can have a fin with perpendicular prongs extending from the fin. The hinged and pronged plate can be configured to cover the spaces between and surrounding the gondola cars and allows for easy and safe loading of bulk materials from trucks into gondola cars.
