Systems and methods for employing a bulkhead bag in intermodal shipment of dry flowable commodities are disclosed. An example system includes a bulkhead bag configured to be positioned on a loading floor, between sidewalls, and proximate loading doors of an intermodal shipping container. The example system includes one or more straps configured to extend between and couple to connection points of the bulkhead bag and eyelets of the intermodal shipping container to hold an upper edge of the bulkhead bag aloft from the loading floor. The bulkhead bag is configured to expand when filled with a first portion of the dry flowable commodity such that end portions of the bulkhead bag engage sidewalls of the intermodal shipping container to form a partition between the loading doors and an interior of the intermodal shipping container used to contain a second larger portion of the dry flowable commodity.

The invention relates to a container arrangement comprising a plurality of connected containers, each for storing an automated storage and retrieval system. A coupling arrangement connects and aligns connected containers side-by-side. The containers may be intermodal containers. The invention also relates to a method for providing such an arrangement.

The carriage decking device comprises four deck maneuver rails arranged in pairs and opposite one another, and connectors, connected at the deck maneuver rails, and which are capable of sliding up and down along the deck maneuver rails. A certain number of positioning holes are axially distributed on the deck maneuver rails. Yokes are connected on external sides of each connector, and partitions are fastened between the yokes. A depressed mounting cavity is provided on the internal side of each yoke, and a stop pin is provided inside the mounting cavity. A connecting hole that aligns with the stop pin is provided on each connector, and the stop pin extends into the connecting hole. A clutch that enables the stop pins in the mounting cavities to connect with the positioning holes of corresponding deck maneuver rails or to detach from the positioning holes simultaneously is provided between two neighboring yokes.

An assembly for engaging an elongate support for restraining cargo in a container having a wall including a base strip securable to the wall having a longitudinal axis and including a top surface having a pair of slide rails, and a sleeve defining a cavity for receiving an end of the elongated support.

This disclosure relates to a barrier assembly that can be selectively secured near an opening of a cargo container and selectively deployable near the opening of the cargo container (e.g., along the rear and/or side of the cargo container) to control access to the space therein and to help secure cargo contained within the space. The barrier assembly can include one or two panels that can permit the barrier assembly to wrap, bend, or flexibly extend around cargo. In at least some examples, at least one panel can be hingedly affixed to a side of the cargo container, such that the panel can rotate between a stowed position and a deployed position. In examples, the panel is also slidably connected to the side of the cargo container, such that a fore-aft position of the panel can be adjusted and customized to the cargo.

A modular loading system may include structural beams and modular beams that can be located in a shipping container. The structural beams can be arranged in a first direction, and the modular beams can be arranged in a second direction that is approximately perpendicular to the first direction. The structural beams can include a fixed contact surface and an adjustable contact surface positioned opposite the fixed contact surface for stabilizing the modular loading system in approximately the first direction. The modular beams can include receiving notches sized to receive a locking bar for stabilizing the modular loading system in a third direction that is approximately perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

A container is suitable for intermodal freight transport and further suitable for conversion for use other than intermodal freight transport. The container includes walls. At least one of the walls includes an outer skin and an inner skin. The inner skin includes a plurality of parallel vertical strut channels.
