Abstract
A modular cargo container having a width greater than the conventional 96 inches, but which can still be used with conventional container handling and locking equipment and apparatus. The container includes a box-shaped body, including a plurality of vertical support posts. A respective one bottom support member is connected to the bottom end of each support post, and a respective one post top member is connected to the top end of each support post. Each bottom support member defines an opening to facilitate handling the cargo container, and the container handling openings defined by laterally opposite bottom support members are spaced apart a distance less than the width of the container, allowing those openings to engage standard container locking and handling equipment. Each of the post top members also defines container handling or locking openings; and these top members are shaped and positioned such that the openings defined by laterally opposite post top members are spaced apart a distance less than the width of the container, allowing those openings to engage standard container locking and handling equipment.
