Abstract: The present invention is a container for transportation and storage. It comprises a base and side panels for positioning on the base to form a universal storage container. The side panels have a panel structure for maintaining the structural integrity of the side panel, with at least one latch near a lower edge for securely attaching the panel to the base. The vertical edges of the side panels have universal joints to interconnect the panels. Also, a cover can be provided and the panels can include at least one latch near an upper edge for securely attaching the side panel to the cover. In another embodiment, plastic support braces extend between side panels to support articles, boxes, or shelves inside the container. The support braces are held in place by tether pins located in shelving recesses of the side panels.

Abstract: A frame fixture having a support base, receiving plate, a pair of carrier bolts and a post, the fixture is placed onto the top of a telephone switchgear frame so that the base grips the frame. The post has two carrier bolts extending therefrom and further has a cargo bar placed transversely to the bolts and is located therebetween. A receiving plate is attached to the bolts to fasten the cargo bar between the post and plate. A plurality of spaced switchgear frames in a transport vehicle are adapted to be interconnected by the cargo bar so as to prevent toppling of the former about their bases.

Abstract: A spreader bar arrangement adapted to be attached to an elongated product, such as a telephone switchgear frame, which assists in loading and unloading the product onto a transport vehicle having a movable crane mechanism. The spreader bar arrangement includes a support member extending along the top of the elongated product and having a plurality of fastening apertures therein which coincide with coupling points in the upper frame of the product such that the support member may be bolted thereto. A connector member is attached to the support member centrally along its length and includes at least one U-bolt extending around the support member. A bracket is bolted to the legs of the U-bolt, and a pin extends centrally through the bracket and has a hole therein for attachment to the crane mechanism of a transport vehicle.
