ABSTRACT:
A closed multi-purpose product container suitable for heavy duty transportation of commodity products by railroad flat cars, freight ships and land motor truck power trailer has a full top opening hinged flat rigid lid, as well as the conventional opening rear flat rigid door. The closed hinged flat rigid lid transportation container (CLC) has structural welded seams securing the two long flat rigid side walls, a flat rigid bottom wall, and a front flat rigid end wall, so as to safely carry high density lump loads such as lump coal, powdered and granular chemicals, grains and other solid loads, with secure transportation and freedom from external and internal contamination, when the flat rigid rear door is closed and sealed. Welded triangular strength reinforcement trusses, multiple V-shaped strength stiffening pleats and half round truss means may be equivalently, typically formed in and on the side walls, top lid, rear door and bottom wall of the CLC. Typically, a CLC can have 20 to 40 ft. length, and 8 to 10 foot high by 8 ft. wide, or have other selected dimensions, and can have structurally reinforcement to carry typical loads up to 100 tons or more. The rectangular transportation containers (CLC) can have in combination sealed bladders of neoprene, or other suitable flexible impermeable plastics conformingly disposed inside the CLC. The bladders can provide transportation for fluids, or further seal and control the purity of granular solid commodity products. Paired auto chassis wheel supporting ramps can be simply and securely disposed in the CLC by integral attachments, each ramp securely clamping and holding a single auto chassis at a predisposed angular disposition to the bottom wall of the CLC. Up to six or seven autos, or the like, can be slantingly and securely held in a CLC without shipping damage, the autos secured on the ramps being disposed in the CLC through the top hinged lid or the rear door.
