ABSTRACT:
A shipping container for transporting a variety of aircraft engines includes a base, a cover and a plurality of engine-engageable support portions carried on the base which are at least one of vertically, horizontally and angularly displaceable with respect to the base of the container. The cover is disposable over the base so as to contain the engine therebetween. The support portions are preferably formed on the surface of swing brackets pivotally mounted to vertically adjustable riser brakets, which are telescopically received in corresponding riser support brackets, which are in turn horizontally slidably affixed to base brackets on the container base. The cover and base are externally dimensioned so that one container can be stacked atop another container, or moved by a forklift, and so that individual bases are stackable as well. The container thus reduces the shipping costs associated with nonstackable engine containers and with the prior art need to provide containers of different configuration for each type of engine to be shipped.
