<p>An improved intermodal container which has a hinged roof and/or a hinged end wall which provides for much improved loading and unloading of cargo, with particular utility in the waste management industry. Such an intermodal container can be loaded, stored and transported in conventional logistics networks while maintaining the loading and unloading advantage heretofore unrealised in intermodal containers. In a particular deployment, when mounted on a truck such a container allows the truck to mimic a dumper truck and empty contents by tipping–even though the contents may have previously been carried in the intermodal container on several different modes of transport prior to mounting on the vehicle.</p> |
