A prefabricated mobile structure (e.g., substantially in the shape of a rectangular prism) that is substantially shorter than a standard 20-foot shipping container. The mobile structure includes an extension member extending outwardly from each respective upper corner of the structure substantially parallel to the structure's primary axis. Each extension member comprises an attachment point that is adapted to connect with a support portion of a spreader configured to engage with corner fittings of a standard 20-foot freight container. The respective extension members effectively extend the length of the attachment profile of the mobile structure while maintaining a shorter primary body portion. This may allow the prefabricated mobile structure to, for example, be lifted by a lifting device, such as a spreader, that is adapted for lifting a standard 20-foot shipping container while the prefabricated mobile structure's body remains compact enough to be loaded onto a CROP sled for transport.

A method of moving a prefabricated mobile structure, comprising: aligning a spreader configured to engage with corner fittings of a standard freight container to connect with respective attachment points on the prefabricated mobile structure; engaging attachment mechanisms of the spreader with the attachment points of the prefabricated mobile structure; using the spreader to lift the prefabricated mobile structure; and using the spreader to place the prefabricated mobile structure onto a vehicle. The prefabricated mobile structure comprises: a rectangular prism shaped body having a length that is shorter than that of a standard shipping container; and extension members that extend substantially beyond a front or rear face of the mobile structure, each comprising one of the attachment points, where the extension members extend far enough beyond the front or rear face of the prefabricated mobile structure to allow the attachment mechanisms of the spreader to connect with the attachment points.

Disclosed is an improved locking mechanism for shipping containers. In one embodiment, the locking mechanism is integrated into the interbox connector. Specifically, an anti-theft IBC comprises: a body with an upright door barrier, a lever, and a lever insertion hole, an upper shank and a lower shank, where the upper shank and lower shank are configured for coupling the anti-theft IBC to the lower, front, right corner of a shipping container, such that the doors of the shipping container are barred from opening by the upright barrier.
