Abstract

An apparatus for storing or transporting flowable materials or other materials, such as diesel fuel, includes a container and a support. The container is supported by the support. The support sits on or is mounted across an upper part of an open top wagon or vehicle, such as a railway wagon or truck or trailer used for transporting bulk commodities. The apparatus is movable between an expanded configuration in which the container is expandable into a lower part of the wagon or vehicle and a collapsed configuration in which the container is collapsible to the support. The weight of the support and the container is borne by the upper part of the wagon or vehicle when the container is in its collapsed configuration and the apparatus is positioned on the wagon or vehicle.
