The present disclosure is a soft-shell cargo container that is ideal for “do-it-yourself” transport. The cargo container, which may be useful in a pickup truck bed, includes a single piece of a flexible shell material that defines a base panel, a front wall panel, back wall panel, two side wall panels, a top cover panel, and a tailgate panel. The cargo container is flexible and therefore adaptable to cover bulky or awkwardly shaped cargo. The cargo in the cargo container can be secured via interior fasteners, like loops, hooks, straps, and dividers. The cargo container can also be waterproof, fire retardant, puncture proof, and lockable. Thus, the cargo container protects belongings therein from weather damage, debris, and theft.

A collapsible liquid storage tank for use in an elongated trailer for selectively carrying solid freight and bulk liquid freight, comprising a first side frame configured for movement between a retracted position against a first trailer side wall for carrying solid freight and a deployed position for carrying liquid freight, a second side frame configured for movement between a retracted position against a second trailer side wall for carrying solid freight and a deployed position for carrying liquid freight, a rear frame positioned between the first and second side frames when the first and second side frames are in the deployed position, a liner having side walls connected to the first and second side frames and the rear frame, a liquid impermeable bladder disposed within the liner, and at least one baffle operatively arranged to be positioned between the first and second side frames.

The device relates to transportation and storage of bulk cargoes and comprises a vessel with upper charging opening and lower discharging opening, bearing framework and discharging mechanism, the device being further provided with soft sling load distribution ring, which passes through additional external loops of the main slings and alternately through additional loops along the upper perimeter of the cylinder, which, in turn, are embodied in the form of the load distribution triangle. The device provides improving convenience of handling multi-tonnage bulk cargoes as well as improving container reliability in use.

A self-funneling flexible container may be used with a storage and transportation system to provide an efficient, effective and cost-efficient transfer of material to, from or about a site, for example, a hydrocarbon exploration, recovery, production or operation site. The self-funneling flexible container may comprise one or more bands about the bottom or the bottom and one or more sides of the self-funneling flexible container. The bands have an elasticity such that the weight of material disposed in the self-funneling flexible container transitions the bands to an expanded position. When the material is discharged, the bands transition to a contracted position to form a funnel or chute so that all material may be efficiently discharged. As the funnel or chute is only formed at discharge, the self-funneling flexible container may store more material than traditional rigid containers.

A bag body 10 is filled with stones 12. A restraining rope 14 extends from the bottom of the bag body 10 through the center of the bag body 10 and is pulled up together with a lifting rope 15 to lift the bag body 10. The bag body 10 is within a predetermined range centered about a curve given by W/H1 (diameter/restraining rope length)=15.898?(W/W0).sup.2?17.784?(W/W0)+6.6314, where W represents the diameter of the bag body 10, H1 represents the length of the restraining rope 14 from the bottom portion of the bag body 10 to a root position of a mouth closing rope 13 of a bag material through the center of the bag body 10, and W0 represents the diameter when the bag material 11 is filled with the filling material 12.
