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.

Various aspect of the present disclosure relate to a sealed storage tank. The sealed storage tank includes a first film at least partially defining a first internal chamber of the sealed storage tank. The first film includes a first polymeric layer having a thickness in a range of from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. The first film can include an optional first fibrous scrim layer directly contacting the first polymeric layer. The sealed storage tank can further include a second film attached to the first film and at least partially defining a second internal chamber of the sealed storage tank, the second film comprising. The second film can further include a second polymeric layer having a thickness in a range of from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. The second film can include an optional second fibrous scrim layer directly contacting the second polymeric layer.

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.

A storage vessel includes a body, two or more internal chambers or sections which may hold fluids or debris, one or more bulkheads 108 within the body of the storage vessel to separate the sections, and a roll off attachment apparatus. The storage vessel also comprises a series of ports and hatches to provide access to the sections within the storage vessel. The storage vessel can be moved to and from excavation sites using the roll off attachment apparatus which allows the storage vessel to be attached to or lifted onto a truck.

A dual-purpose tank container is provided, designed for transporting unrefined or refined fluid within the same internal space, eliminating unproductive deadheading. The tank container includes an inner tank in a frame, and outer insulation shell, the tank being equipped with at least one diaphragm so that a fluid, for example crude oil or diesel fuel, can occupy inner space without risk of contamination from a residual fluid. The high viscosity unrefined fluid can be almost completely drained using fluid draining channels present on the diaphragm surface, increasing transportation economy and eliminating any residual fluid pockets. At least one inlet present on the upper tank body supplies a solvent vapor/fluid to condition the space between the diaphragm and the tank wall, thereby preventing sticking of the diaphragm to the tank inner surface.

Systems and methods for delivering a requested payload using an autonomous delivery vehicle are described herein. In some embodiments, a cargo system for use with an autonomous delivery vehicle can include a frame defining a cargo space having an opening. A plurality of partitions can be positioned within the cargo space and configured to divide the cargo space into compartments. In some embodiments, the partitions are movable so that the cargo space can be divided into efficiently-sized compartments based on, for example, size characteristics of the payload. The cargo system can further include an access system configured to selectively define an aperture over the opening of the cargo space. The access system can vary the size and position of the aperture to provide access to only a selected one of the compartments regardless of the size and/or position of the selected compartment.

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 reconfigurable vehicle body having a main body including at least one elongate main beam, a load deck mounted relative to the at least one elongate main beam and at least one forward headboard structure at a forward end of the load deck is disclosed. At least two pairs of fixed posts provided in a rear portion of the load deck, one fixed post of each pair located at an opposed lateral side of the load deck and extending upwardly relative to the load deck, a wall-receiving assembly positioned relative to each of the fixed posts and at least one removable wall member locatable relative to at least a pair of wall-receiving assemblies to define at least one receiving compartment within the width of the load deck is present.

An intermodal container comprising: a first post; a first side panel attached to the first post; a second post, attached to the first side panel; a third post; a second side panel attached to the third post; a fourth post attached to the second side panel; a front panel attached to the first and fourth posts; a rear panel attached to the second and third posts; at least one shelf attached to the first, second, third, and fourth posts, and where the shelf can attach to the posts at a plurality of heights along the posts; the at least one shelf comprising: a front beam; a rear beam; a first strap bar extending from the front beam away from the shelf; and a second strap bar extending from the rear beam away from the shelf.
