US Classification:

1663081, 414288, 414808

Abstract:

A cargo container is modified to carry a fracing proppant such as sand from a quarry or source to the frac site. Openings are cut in the top and bottom of a cargo container and hydraulically operated sliding doors are placed there under. A hopper module with the walls being inclined to approximately the angle of repose for the proppant is installed inside the cargo container. The hopper module is sealed inside the cargo container so that a proppant enters through the top opening at the quarry and flows out through the bottom opening at the fracing site.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/08
B66F 9/075
B65D 21/08

Abstract:

A frame rack system for the transportation, storage and inventory of commodities using intermodal open and closed frame racks configured to be compatible with ISO shipping container conventions. The open framed rack is preloaded and secured for transport or staging by yard personnel from a ground level position. ISO compatible corner pin blocks and forklift pockets allow for flexibility in handling loads at departure and destination. Material handling equipment compatibility allows for materials to be shipped and stored at unimproved sites. Tie-down rings allow for many options in securing loads. The stackability of units provides for an overall working deck height of less than 6 feet. Closed framed racks fit over the open frame racks to allow for multiple decks. Color-coded identifiers and identification codes facilitate storage and inventory. The present invention offers a simple, identifiable, contents-protected, multi-modal logistical solution, incorporating a “One Man One Machine” philosophy.
