Tom, I'm not sure of what the entire problem was but these containers
had already been off loaded onto chassis units. They were setting there
with thousands of similar intrnational boxes.
I also do
some work for a container company called Stolt. They are involved in
the international bulktainers business as well as several other profit
centers. I get around the depot where they clean and repair the
bulktainers.
Most recently I have also worked with Stolt and another company that
fill standard 20' box containers with a flexible bag that is filled with
non explosive liquids such as cooking oils. So one's never too sure
what those containers hold.
S content: one could easily use the DesPlains container kits to make a
large background just by stacking them 3-4 high even though they are
domestic containers. One wall of the container would then make two
containers if used as a false front type situation.
