The control is configured to control: (i) the sortation table to move to an open position adjacent the pallet loader; (ii) the pallet loader to place a pallet at the open position of the sortation table; (iii) the sortation table to move such that the pallet occupied position is adjacent the discharge of the first conveyor; (iv) the coil discharge apparatus to move a coil from the discharge of the first conveyor on to the pallet; and (v) the sortation table to move such that the pallet occupied position is away from the discharge of the first conveyor. A similar method is provided.

GAS TURBINE ENGINE STORAGE AND TRANSPORT CONTAINER

A gas turbine storage container is composed of a horizontal cylindrical shell with openings at two opposite ends of the cylinder, outside is designed with frames to keep it fixed and has straps to install ropes when hoisting. The inside of the cylindrical shell is pumped with inert gas and contains desiccant. The engine is housed in a mount that can be fixed to the inside of the box, and has wheels to make it possible to move it out of the box. A sensor system that measures the temperature and humidity status inside the cylindrical shell can provide information about the quality of the gas stored in the cylindrical shell in real time without opening.

LOAD-SECUREMENT DEVICES AND PROCESSES

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide load-securement devices and processes for securing loads in a shipping container. Generally, each load-securement device includes a base and two wings each having a corner-engaging end. The wings are attached to the base and are movable relative to one another and to the base from a compact configuration in which a first distance separates the corner-engaging ends to a securement configuration in which a second greater distance separates the corner-engaging ends. Since the load-securement device is more compact when the wings are in the compact configuration (as compared to the securement configuration), it is easier to attach to a shipping container—and particularly to a front corner post of the shipping container—as compared to a similar load-securement device that has immovable wings fixed in the securement configuration.
