<p>A cargo transportation system comprising secure (fully closable and lockable), sealable, stackable, trackable, universal, auto-latching 'pallet boxes' (20) that may be used in two main ways: 1) secured to the undercarriage transverse I-Beams of over-the-road semi-trailers by means of loading alignment and hanger assemblies (100) that provide positive locking-in-place; and 2) stackable, up to three or more high, inside the trailer bodies. The inventive pallet boxes (20) are designed to be secured by auto-latching hanger assemblies (100) that are retrofittable on individual types of semi-trailer undercarriages, both US and metric (European, Central and South American, and Asian) standard dimensions. The pallet boxes (20) include vertical sidewall (22,24) with load-bearing channel members (50a-b) permitting stacking fully-loaded pallet boxes three or more high. The pallet boxes (20) may be refrigerated, insulated, or atmospherically controlled, e.g., chargeable with preservative, security or disinfecting gases, during shipping.</p> |
