The container includes a plurality of sides, a bottom, and a cavity defined by the plurality of sides and the bottom. The track is coupled to one of the plurality of sides of the container. The cover includes a first end. The cover is further configured to be slidably received by the track and move between a deployed position and a retracted position. The actuation mechanism is coupled to a first side of the plurality of sides of the container. The actuation mechanism is configured to cause the cover to move between the deployed position and the retracted position. The cover encloses the cavity of the container when in the deployed position.

A portable storage container that is constructed so as to provide a first technique and a second technique to access the interior volume. The portable storage container of the present invention includes a base platform having a housing that is superposed the base platform and operable to be removed therefrom. The base platform includes apertures that are configured to align with mounting pins of the housing. The base platform includes wheel assemblies that are configured to assist in movement of the assembled portable storage container. A pair of lifting members are secured to the top of the housing and are configured to operably engage with forklift tongues so as to provide removal of the housing from the base platform. A door is provided on one end of the housing wherein the door provides an alternate technique to access the interior volume in addition to the lifting of the housing.

Methods and apparatuses for shipping of fabricated rectangular wooden modules used for construction of a wood frame structure and for shipping of other bulky items are described. In particular, the disclosure features a modified shipping container for shipping the fabricated rectangular wooden modules and methods of loading, transporting, and unloading the fabricated rectangular wooden modules. The modified shipping container features a removable header system and a removable cover. The fabricated rectangular wooden modules include a module length axis, a module width axis, a bounded wood perimeter, and joists or rafters oriented perpendicularly to the module length axis, and are stacked as cargo in the interior of the container such that joists or rafters of the fabricated rectangular wooden modules are substantially vertical and the length axes of the modules are substantially parallel to a length axis of the container.

A self-contained heated portable vacuum slurry box which is constructed to hold both a positive pressure and a vacuum pressure. The slurry box generally includes a vacuum tank, a structure attached to the tank, a vertical tailgate, and a hook for pulling the slurry box onto a vehicle. The slurry box meets space restriction requirements while functioning within the environmental conditions of winter and summer seasons.

A construction material transport container includes four side doors that form substantially all of two side walls of the container. The container includes transversely disposed forklift pockets that can be used to load the container onto a flatbed truck. With the container on a truck and the side doors open, new construction materials can be loaded onto the container from both sides. Both the container and the new materials can be delivered to a job side by a single delivery using a truck-attached forklift. The empty container can then be used as a receptacle for recyclable materials. The container further includes roll-off or hook lift vehicle tracks configured so that the container can be picked up and hauled to a recycling or refuse center. A rear door of the container can be opened so that the container can be tilted by the vehicle to offload the used material.

A lightweight flame-resistant composite panel is provided including a body portion and a side portion folded over the body portion. The side portion includes a channel segment adjacent to the body portion, and an overlapping segment adjacent to the channel segment. One or more panel apertures are located in the body portion and the channel segment for receiving bolts through the side of the panel. An edge reinforcement insert can be inserted underneath the channel segment in a channel defined by the folded side portion along an edge of the body portion. The edge reinforcement insert includes one or more insert apertures for receiving the one or more bolts through the panel, thereby increasing the bolt bearing strength of the panel along its edge. The edge reinforcement insert may comprise an elongated strip, a plurality of separated tabs, or an end cap, or may alternatively be contained within the panel.
