High-capacity intermodal transport platform

Abstract

Described herein is a high-capacity intermodal transport platform designed to meet the requirements for intermodal transport of very heavy weight, high density cargo by sea, road, rail and air transportation systems while minimizing the need to remove or reconfigure the cargo during multimodal and intermodal transport. The platform may be loaded with its cargo at an off-site location such a factory or a work site then easily loaded directly onto an ocean vessel deck, rail car and trailer for transport to destination. The platform may be loaded before it is placed on the transportation vehicle or may be loaded after it is placed on the transportation vehicle. Once loaded and secured to the transportation platform the cargo can be safely transported from origin to destination, and moved from one type of transportation to another, such as from truck to rail to ocean vessel with no further requirement to handle the cargo or reconfigure the way it is secured to the platform.
