ABSTRACT:
A cargo transport system is characterized by a container having a cargo carrying volume therein, the container being disposed within a receptacle. The container is movable with respect to the receptacle from a first, lowered, position to a second, elevated, position. In the second position, the exterior surface of the container and the receptacle cooperate to define a separate, commercially attractive cargo receiving volume adapted to receive therein a cargo different from the cargo disposable in the cargo carrying volume. The container may be lifted to and then locked into the elevated position. Cargo is introduced into the cargo receiving volume through a cargo access arrangement. The cargo transport system may be adapted for barge, rail, truck, or other transportation modes. Either the receptacle or the container, or both, may be insulated to facilitate carriage of an elevated temperature cargo within the container and/or the receptacle.
