A container packer system includes a transfer base, which receives a container packer adapted for movement longitudinally between retracted and extended positions with respect to the transfer base. The transfer base includes a power subsystem with a motor or engine driving a hydraulic pump for powering hydraulic piston-and-cylinder units of the system, including a container packer piston-and-cylinder unit for hydraulically extending and retracting the container packer. The container packer generally encloses an interior adapted for receiving bulk material for transfer to a transport container, which can comprise a standard shipping container, a trailer or some other bulk material receptacle. The container packer includes a push blade assembly longitudinally movably mounted in its interior and actuated by a push blade piston-and-cylinder unit.

Computer-implemented systems and methods for optimizing sorting and loading of packages are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and may include at least one processor configured to execute the instructions. The system may perform operations including receiving data comprising a plurality of package identifiers associated with a plurality of packages. The operations may include determining a plurality of block areas associated with delivery locations for the plurality of packages. The operations may further include determining a delivery route by determining a first set of routes, determining optimal combinations of the inputs for each set of routes and determining a shortest route associated with the optimal combinations. The operations may include determining an order in which to load each of the packages into a delivery vehicle. The operations may further include generating instructions for causing a device to display a visual representation of the loading order.

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.
