Abstract: A system is provided for storing, transporting, and dispensing powder-like materials, the system (in various embodiments) being well adapted for automated and/or mechanical transport and reuse, reinforced pockets for lift forks, balls and caps adapted for stacking, and a transport cart for local movement. A rigid frame supports a container capable of dispensing the material in a controlled manner, the frame preferably having reinforced structures for accepting lift forks. An optional cart may be used to facilitate movement of the system between points of bulk transport, use, cleaning, and refilling, for example.
