Method of moving proppant from a sand container

A method of dispensing wet material from a bulk material handling system at a remote wellsite, comprising:

• aligning a transfer member on at least one portable container with an oscillation device on a support frame of a portable support structure in response to aligning a locator feature with an engagement feature;
• receiving and holding the at least one portable container of wet bulk material on a receiving bay of the portable support structure, wherein the at least one portable container comprises at least one transfer member coupled to a portion of an angled hopper;
• oscillating the angled hopper of the at least one portable container via the at least one transfer member by an oscillation device located on the portable support structure;
• and
• routing the wet bulk material from the at least one portable container to a blender hopper via a material routing path.

A bulk material handling system for dispensing wet materials at a wellsite, comprising:

• at least one portable container comprising:
• an angled hopper with an outlet;
• at least one transfer member coupled to a portion of the angled hopper;
• and
• wherein the at least one portable container is configured to hold a volume of wet bulk materials;
• a portable support structure comprising:
• at least one receiving bay with at least one locator device and a gate actuator,
• wherein the at least one receiving bay is configured to receive a portable container, and wherein the at least one locator device is configured to be received within an engagement feature of the at least one portable container;
• a material routing path comprising a feed hopper and a gravity feed outlet;
• a support frame with at least one oscillatory device, at least one impact device, or combinations thereof;
• and
• a unit controller comprising a processor and non-transient memory communicatively
• coupled to the support frame, configured to:
• activate the at least one impact device or at least one oscillatory device on the support frame of the portable support structure, wherein i) impact energy of the at least one impact device is transferred via the at least one transfer member, ii) oscillatory motion of the at least one oscillatory device is transferred via the at least one transfer member, or ii) both;
• and
• wherein the portable support structure is configured to route the wet bulk material from the at least one portable container to a blender hopper via a material routing path in response to activating the at least one impact device or at least one oscillatory device.
