A transport support structure comprises a platform, a first frame side on the platform, a second frame side on the platform and a third frame side on the platform. The second frame side is disposed opposite and spaced apart from the first frame side, and the third frame side extends between the first and second frame sides. The transport support structure further comprises first and second support receiving members disposed under the platform. The first support receiving member includes a first opening configured to receive a first lifting device support element, and the second support receiving member includes a second opening configured to receive a second lifting device support element.

An intermodal container comprising: a first post; a first side panel attached to the first post; a second post, attached to the first side panel; a third post; a second side panel attached to the third post; a fourth post attached to the second side panel; a front panel attached to the first and fourth posts; a rear panel attached to the second and third posts; at least one shelf attached to the first, second, third, and fourth posts, and where the shelf can attach to the posts at a plurality of heights along the posts; the at least one shelf comprising: a front beam; a rear beam; a first strap bar extending from the front beam away from the shelf; and a second strap bar extending from the rear beam away from the shelf.

The present invention provides a system for stacking, storing, and loading metal sheets. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a pallet which includes multiple posts that allow alignment of sheets of material on the pallet. Preferably, the pallet further includes posts which include stacking bells which allow the pallets to stack together while preventing damage to loaded materials. In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pallets may be stored in a specially designed rack.

According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a folding container comprising a base, a first mount on the base, a first side wall, and a translational hinge connecting the first side wall to the first mount. The translational hinge facilitates rotational and translational movement of the first side wall between an upright erected state and a folded state, in which the first side wall extends in a generally parallel to the base. The container also has an upright lock featuring a peg on the first side wall and a catch on the mount. The catch has a recess for receiving the peg of the first side wall to lock the first side wall into the erected state. The recess is elongated, at least in part, in a direction that is slanted in respect to the upright orientation.

The invention relates to a container (10) for liquids or free-flowing materials, with an inner container (20) with a wall (21) made of metal, a filling opening (22) and an outlet opening (23), wherein the wall (21) of the inner container (20) has a wall thickness of less than 1 mm and the inner container (20) is enclosed by a lattice structure (30) comprising rods (32, 34, 35, 36).

The invention is directed to a universal top cap having structure for securely mating with and supporting a pallet, or a steel mesh container or a collapsible container. The top cap includes an upper support surface having an upwardly extending lip structure along a perimeter of the upper surface. The upper surface is also provided with recesses and protrusions which enable the top cap to mate with the various items.

A container system includes a container that includes a container chassis that defines a container volume and a container outlet having a first aperture. The container system includes a valve system is coupled to the container outlet and a container valve node system. The container valve node system includes a valve system coupling device coupling the container valve node system to at least one of the container outlet or the valve system, and includes a node device coupled to the valve system coupling device. The node device includes a node chassis that houses a communication system, a processing system coupled to the communication system, and a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instruction that causes the processing system to provide a container engine configured to communicate container system information associated with the container system via the communication system.
