A beautiful little fabricated sterling silver container with a bezel set mother of pearl lid. It takes an easy twist off motion to remove the lid.
Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

As the second phase of the original Container City project at Trinity Buoy Wharf (London), Container City II is both an extension and evolution of the first building. Built adjacent to Container City I, with inter-connecting bridges, a new lift and full disabled access, Container City II was completed in 2002 providing a further 22 studios over five floors.
In contrast to the first phase, Container City II is a funky ziggurat shape and painted in bright colours to reflect the creative flair of those who work here.
This image shows the living room and balcony space.

Reach Stacker
Four Containers arrived at location and preparation to un-stuff began. Oversized loads were inspected for damage in transit, a pre-determined lifting plan actioned. Steel.Steel beams were stacked on top of the cargo which meant that manual labor was needed to un-stuff each container prior to using the MHE.
Once the steel had been removed manually, pallet trucks and fork lifts made easy work of un-stuffing the containers and placing the cargoes in the designated unpacking area.
Each container presented a different challenge regarding the safest way to un-stuff the cargo to prevent any damage. Eight meter steel beams had to be manually un-stacked before the telehandler could reach into the containers and pull the individual pieces out.
CEA provided all plastic sheeting and tarpaulins made at our plastic production facilities in Laem Chabang, these would protect the new ground surface from heavy equipment damage whilst the operation was underway.
The oversized cargo was lifted out of the containers through the use of a Reach Stacker.
Each of the four containers presented their own individual difficulties for manual and mechanical un-stuffing, the CEA team improvised and adapted well to overcome each hurdle much to the delight of the client.

Caught my eye for SOME reason .I don't USUALLY photo SEMI trucks.....
Maybe it was the colour ???? Unit is probably headed for the SEATTLE DOCKS
See those containers stacked with the windows on the sides of them? Inside are fully decorated offices. There are lights, chairs, desks and wall units with file folders in them. You can see employees talking and working. I assume these are temporary and have something to do with the construction on Alte Schönhauser Straße. From the weblog: theberlinimage.blogspot.com/

Seattle's container port: Trucks roll up, the crane picks up the container and places it carefully on the ship. Big win for standardization of The Box
