One of our club members told me that as a security measure high value cargo in the old RCH type containers was loaded into 5 plank highfit wagons rather than conflats. The wagons are parkside, the containers are (probably) Airfix/Bachmann picked up at swapmeets and resprayed bauxite using rattle can red primer, decals by Fox.
A little container for toothpicks my mother asked me to make. It's made of Spalted Maple. I can stare at the various colors of grains and directions all day long.
Here's a fall container I planted for my mom - it's a small "sky pencil" shrub (1 gallon size) surrounded by violas. I'm planning on leaving the shrub in there as long as I can, and just replace the annuals every spring & fall.

Container shopping for our new/recycled FREITAG Shop in Zurich. The shop is entirely made from used freight containers.
Here is the massive crane which moves containers on and off the ships. Taken May 14, 2009 at Prince Rupert, BC.
Equipment used
Manitou Telehandler
3 ton Manitou Fork lift
15 ton Fork lift
Hino 7 ton Hiab truck
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.
I mounted two fiberglass ladders to the side of our tool shed. It's nice to get them off the ground and out of the way. Drilling through the shipping container wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but making enough room on the other side to tighten the nuts was no easy task. I should have used rivets.
