Jacksonville outfit offers 'Breakbulk Box' to keep outsize cargo slotable
KNOWN as the Breakbulk Box, a specialty container has recently completed a successful test shipment from Jacksonville to Puerto Rico, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The Breakbulk Box, a product of Jacksonville's ATS International, offers shippers the ability to have breakbulk and oversized cargo loaded directly onto a container bed, as the lid and walls lift off.
Cargo is secured in place using special lashing hooks inside the container bed. The top is replaced by a stacker or crane, which then allows the unit to be secured and handled just like a standard shipping container.
According to ATS, the Breakbulk Box is designed to move seamlessly between trucks, rail and ship. The 53-foot Wide-Top Pick (WTP) container carries the seal of approval for ocean use by the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC).
ATS is currently marketing the prototype container with plans to order at least 100 Breakbulk Box containers in the coming year.
