Abstract: A bulk material conveyor include a housing having a first end with an inlet and a second end with a discharge and a conveyor at least partially positioned in the housing and extending from the inlet to the discharge. A support assembly has a base frame and an extension mechanism operably connected to the base frame for positioning the housing into an inclined position. A motor assembly is configured to drive the conveyor for advancing bulk material through the housing. A hopper is disposed at the intake end of the housing and includes a tapered wall section extending downwardly from a first end to a second end adjacent the inlet in the housing. A gate assembly is interposed between the hopper and the housing and includes a door positionable between a closed position and a fully opened position for metering the bulk material directed into the housing at the inlet.

Abstract: A material loading assembly is connected to a top of a container body having an opening for loading the container. A door is coupled to the top to cover the opening. An operating mechanism includes an extension member connected to the door and has a free end extending past an edge of the door. The extension member has an engagement pin formed on the free end. A latch mechanism attached at an edge of the shipping container has a pin seat formed therein and a locking member positionable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member retains the engagement pin in the pin seat for locking the door in a closed position. The locking member releases the engagement from the pin seat for unlocking the door in the closed position, so the door is free move from the closed position to an open position.

Abstract: A bulk fluid storage container includes a frame assembly having a lower rectangular frame, first and second wheel assemblies extending from opposite ends of the lower rectangular frame, and an upper rectangular frame member arranged in spaced relation to the lower rectangular frame member by a plurality of vertically extending posts. The bulk fluid storage container also includes a fluid storage vessel having first and second end walls held in spaced relation by first and second side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall, which defines a fluid storage volume. A baffle assembly having a plurality of baffle plates is disposed in a space relationship in the fluid storage volume. The frame assembly provides an exoskeletal structure which surrounds the fluid storage vessel and is configured to support a second bulk fluid storage container in a vertically stacked relationship.

Abstract: A bulk material shipping conveyor including a support assembly, a housing connected to the support assembly, a conveyor belt assembly partially positioned in the housing, a motor assembly coupled to the conveyor belt assembly, a hopper assembly including a receiving assembly including a plurality of walls and at least one movable flap extending above at least one of the plurality of walls, a gate assembly including a door movable between an open position and a closed position, and a transition assembly including a plurality of spaced apart conveyor supports, wherein at least one of the spaced apart conveyor supports is rotated relative to a longitudinal axis of the housing.

Abstract: A bulk material shipping container unloader having an expandable supporter, a pallet receiver supported by the extendable supporter, and a material director supported by the pallet receiver.

Abstract: A bulk material shipping container including a pallet, a compartment configured to receive, hold, and release materials and connected to and supported by the pallet, a material unloading assembly positioned under a bottom portion of the compartment, configured to facilitate the release or unloading of materials from the compartment, and connected to and supported by the pallet, and a material loading assembly configured to facilitate the loading of material into the compartment and connected to and partially supported by a top wall assembly of the compartment.

Abstract: Bulk material storage units that can be placed on flatbeds that can be hauled in various manners, including rail cars or trucks, to the destination and removed from the flatbed for temporary storage at the destination, freeing the transportation mode, e.g., rail cars or trucks, to be used elsewhere. Embodiments of the bulk material storage unit of the present invention replace rail hopper cars or truck trailers to hold the bulk material during transportation as well as provide temporary storage at the desired location, e.g., the origin or destination, without tying up transportation resources.
