Storage module adapter assembly for modular container

A modular container comprising:

• a support surface;
• and
• a storage module adapter assembly having at least first and second adapter plates, said first and second adapter plates each having:
• first and second longitudinal frame members each having a generally horizontal flange member that extends an entire length of at a top portion thereof;
• wherein the storage module adapter is positioned along the support surface so that the first longitudinal frame member of the first adapter plate has a first height, and the second longitudinal frame member of the second adapter plate has a second height such that when the first and second adapter plates are positioned adjacent to each other, the respective generally horizontal flange member of the first longitudinal frame member of the first adapter plate overlaps the horizontal flange member of the second longitudinal frame member of the second adapter plate to thereby allow connection of the two adapter plates together on the support surface in a manner restraining relative vertical and horizontal movement between the adapter plates with the respective flange members in nested relationship;
• wherein the storage module adapter assembly is anchored relative to the modular container.

A storage module adapter assembly configured to be positioned on a support surface of a modular container, comprising:

• at least first and second adapter plates each having first and second longitudinal frame members, said first and second longitudinal frame members each having a generally horizontal flange member that extends an entire length of at a top portion thereof,
• each adapter plate comprising two opposed outer transverse frame members, a central transverse frame member, and two opposed vertical transverse flange members positioned on the two opposed outer transverse frame members,
• wherein said first longitudinal frame member has a first height, and said second longitudinal frame member has a second height,
• wherein said first and second longitudinal frame members are positionable so that said first adapter plate is adjacent the second adapter plate along the support surface so that the horizontal flange member of the first longitudinal frame member of the first adapter plate overlaps the horizontal flange member of the second longitudinal frame member of the second adapter plate in adjacent nested relationship to thereby enable connection of the two adapter plates together on the support surface in a manner restraining relative vertical and horizontal movement between the adapter plates with their respective flange members in nested relationship.
