Abstract
An adaptor (11) for converting a bulk solids container (13) for fluid storage/transportation comprising a rigid tank (23) secured to a base member (27) and moveable between a raised position in which the container (13) can hold bulk solids, and a lowered position in which the rigid tank (23) can contain fluid.
Claims25
In an open topped body used for the stowing, storage, or transport of goods, the body having a base bounded by side(s);
- a rigid tank supported from an upper region of said body, said rigid tank being supported on a base member, said base member being movable between an upward position in which said rigid tank is raised substantially above said body and said body can be used for stowage of goods, and a downward position in which said rigid tank is located substantially within said body and can be used for holding fluid.
In said open topped body, a rigid tank as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein said frame assembly is pivotally attached to said body to facilitate loading of said body with bulk solids when in said upward position.
An adaptor to allow an open topped body used for the stowing, storage, or transport of goods, to hold bulk fluid without cross contamination, the body having a base bounded by side(s), wherein said adaptor comprises a rigid tank supported from an upper region of said body, said rigid tank being supported on a base member, said base member being movable between an upward position in which said rigid tank is raised substantially above or in an upper region of said body and said body can be used for stowage of goods, and a downward position in which said rigid tank is located within said body and can be used for holding fluid.
A freight vehicle comprising an open topped body used for the stowing, storage, or transport of goods, the body having a base bounded by side(s);
- wherein a rigid tank is provided, supported from an upper region of said body, said rigid tank being supported on a base member, said base member being movable between an upward position in which said rigid tank is raised substantially above said body and said body can be used for stowage of goods, and a downward position in which said rigid tank is located substantially within said body and can be used for holding fluid.
A freight vehicle substantially as herein described with reference to the drawings.
An adaptor to allow an open topped body used for the stowing, storage, or transport of goods, to hold bulk fluid without cross contamination, substantially as herein described with reference to the drawings.
In an open topped body used for the stowing, storage, or transport of goods, the body having a base bounded by side(s);
- a rigid tank supported from an upper region of said body, substantially as herein described with reference to the drawings.
