Abstract: A modular container lift spreader system is disclosed. The modular container lift spreader system may include a modular frame, including a first frame portion and a second frame portion; extension beams configured to be disposed between ends of the first frame portion and the second frame portion, wherein the two or more extension beams are configured to connect the first frame portion to the second frame portion in a non-permanent manner; and connector plates fixed to the ends of the first frame portion and second frame portion and ends of the two or more extension beams, wherein the connector plates are configured to connect to one another in a non-permanent manner. A method of assembling a modular container lift spreader is also disclosed.

Abstract: A pipe connecting sleeve with offset end plate is disclosed. The pipe connecting sleeve with offset endplate may include a flange having a first side and a second side; first and second insertion parts each including an extension portion extending from their respective sides of the flange each including a distal end, the distal end including an end plate, the end plates being adapted for abutment with an inside diameter of a spreader bar pipe, wherein the end plates are of a greater diameter than the extension portions and are fixed in an offset manner relative thereto; first and second grooves formed on their respective sides of the flange, the grooves being adapted for receiving an end of a spreader bar pipe.

Abstract: The invention provides a spreader bar pipe connection sleeve for use in a spreader bar assembly. The pipe connection sleeve may include a flange having a first side and a second side, the first side may include a groove adapted for receiving an end of a first spreader pipe and the second side may include a groove adapted for receiving an end of a second spreader pipe. A first insertion part may include a distal end extending from the flange first side and may include a shoulder on the distal end, the shoulder being adapted for abutment with an inside diameter of the first spreader pipe. A second insertion part may include a distal end extending from the flange second side and a shoulder on the distal end. The shoulder may be adapted for abutment with an inside diameter of the second spreader pipe. The invention may include a fastener mechanism for securing at least one of the distal ends to one of the spreader pipes.

Abstract: A spreader bar end cap for use in a spreader bar assembly. The spreader bar end cap may include a flange having a first side and a second side, the second side including a groove adapted for receiving an end of a spreader pipe, wherein the groove extends outward from the flange to capture the end of the spreader pipe; a shackle connection part extending from the flange first side and adapted for attachment to a lifting mechanism; and an insertion part comprising a distal end extending from the flange second side and comprising a shoulder on the distal end, the shoulder being adapted for abutment with an inside diameter of the spreader pipe. Alternatively, the groove may recesses into the flange to capture the end of the spreader pipe.

Abstract: A load test system includes a test bed frame which extends horizontally along a first axis and includes two rolling beams moveably mounted securely in the test bed frame for being moved to desired position. The rolling beams have plural attachment locations for attaching a test lift device. A hydraulic power station is located spaced perpendicular from the test bed frame along a second axis and includes a hydraulic cylinder with a line connected to the hydraulic cylinder at one end, which is connectable to a test device at another end for applying a load when the test device is attached to the test bed. Beam members connect the hydraulic power station and the test bed frame to form a rigid structure.

Abstract: A spreader bar assembly includes an end cap having a shackle connection part and an insertion part adapted for detachable connection to a spreader pipe. A connection sleeve may include multiple insertion ends for respective connection to respective spreader pipes. Where so configured, the pipes may have different diameters.

Abstract: A building system is formed of modular shipping container units, with each unit having a specific building environment function, so that when the units are structurally vertically supportably mounted and horizontally connected, a complete building is formed. A specialized designed selectively actuable tightened locking and self-levelling connector interconnects upper and lower container units to take the bearing force of the building. Adjacently mounted corner units are provided with specialized conduits for utilities and drainage. In one preferred embodiment there are inmate cell units and hallway units arranged to form a highly functional prison or correction facility sub-structure.
