2. NO MORE OPEN TOP CONTAINERS
FOR IN-GAUGE, DENSE CARGO!!!
Move into the regular dry van & ocean
container business
Leverage your buying power with an array
of ocean carriers.
Lead times in booking regular containers
is reduced dramatically
Thousands saved in special equipment
surcharges, TACA filing 20’/$1500 & 40’/
$2000 per container in special equipment
surcharge
Reduce, possibly eradicate all dunnage
and other complex securing methods
currently employed
Simpler and superior securing method
Pre-load & unload cargo at a time that
suits you
Load and unload the container in 10
minutes max. Commodity is irrelevant.

Equipment
Transport cost saving of $6-8K per
large Backhoe shipped
5 man operation down to 1
Superior securing of product
No dunnage required ($1200
saving per 40’)
Handling of cargo reduced 66%
both ends
Loading / staging operation has
gone from 2.5hours to 30 minutes
per 40’.

4. NO MORE EXPENSIVE CRATING!!!
Here we have a client loading a
14,000 kilo Briquette machine into a
20’ container via a 20‘MTT™
Client saved $1200 in transport
costs moving to a dry van container
verses an open top
The client saved another $3000 in
crating expenses. There was no
need to crate with usage of the
MTTs self contained load binders.
The freight arrived in Africa without
any issues

5. Customized MTT – For Steel and
Other Over-length Cargo
Most importantly, no injuries
Results have seen a reduction in
some 95% of dunnage used or
EURO 20,000 per month (1 case)
Superior securing methods
Unloading from container and MTT
cut from 3 hours to a mere 30
minutes
One man operation
Safety for loading and unloading
greatly improved from conventional
operation
Whole operation is now waist down
No dropped containers, all live load
No per-diem charges
No driver waiting Innovative Transport Solutions

6. Steel and Other Over-length Product
(cont.)
Without the Mobile Transport
Tray
Trans-loading required
Damages
3 man operation
Flat-bed delivery required
Crane needed
Or use the MTT solution?
Now the client can preload, they
can load out 18 containers a day
before they could only load out 3
No damages, before they did
No crane hire required
2 man operation, before it was 3
No driver waiting
No storage on equipment

7. REDUCE YOUR DOMESTIC
FLATBED COSTS!!!
Higher base rates that is affected greatly by the fuel surcharge, fuel range
between 2008 and 2009 was 12-52%
Exposed to the elements
Tarp maybe required at additional cost
Riskier transport
Environmentally unfriendly
Equipment availability?
Relying on drivers prompt arrival

8. Our alternative to costly
flatbed trucking
Enclosed transportation via ocean containers repositioning steamship lines
containers at incredible rates via RAIL SERVICE
Conventional equipment that is available
Safe and secure transportation practices
Rates that are stable and far cheaper
Fuel changes making very little impact
on the low base rate
Less fuel consumption
More environmentally friendly
Plus all the benefits with faster loading and
unloading that you gain by utilizing our
products

9. Drywall & Sheetrock
10’ MTTs employed, 10 ton payload
per MTT
Used to eradicate damages To
eradicate the dunnage used in
conventional shipping
No double handling (staging) of
product
Reduction in labor required to load
and unload product to/from
container
Easier to load and unload from all
sides of the MTT compared to in
and out of the back of a container
or dry van trailer

10. Fragile?
Reduce Handling
Drywall has been giving shippers
headaches for years
Main factor here like with so many
of the products we deal with, client
can now load from the side.
More careful thoughtful and creative
loading process
Same benefits in the below
example. Being able to pre-load or
off-load from the side has great
advantages and saves time
Here we also saw an increase in
possible payloads of some 15% by
adding a customized bracket to the
MTT

11. “A” Frame for glass
Reduction in handling of product by
50%
2 hours saved in loading and
securing & safer work environment
Superior and easier securing
Increased payload – 20%
90% reduction in time and money
for unloading and staging cargo
(MTT now acts as staging platform
within the unload facility).
Total elimination of product handling
from container to staging and
storing area.
No damages
“A” frame is stored inside the MTT
for return, no impact on return
factor (13x20‘MTT)

13. Consolidated Cargo
Targeted at Freight-forwarders and
consolidation freight companies
Allows for pre-loading prior to ocean
equipment arrival at the facility
Reduces labor costs
Allows for loading and unloading to be done
from all sides allowing for loading process to
be much easier and faster
Reduces time and motion of fork-lift back and
forth from cargo storing area saving more time
We have seen over a 90% reduction in
damages compared to the convention process
Keeps docks open due to physical container
loading and unloading taking a mere 5 minutes

14. Cartonized products, the issues faced
with conventional methods
All containers need to be dropped or driver
waiting time paid
Reduced free-time at the rail road together with
vast unloading time results in hefty per-diem
charges
3-20 man hours to unload floor loaded
containers
All cartons need to transferred to wooden
pallets at unload facility
All pallets then need to be moved to storing
area.
Fork-lifts running back and forth all day
Do we really save $1000 in freight by doing it
this way? This is what it costs on average per
container (only 20% of containers have cartons
loaded right to the roof)

15. Cartonized Cargo Continued…
We have an easier & cheaper alternative
Live unloads, no drops, no driver detention -
$350 saving on average
Wooden/Alloy pallets loaded and recessed
into the MTT – Cuts down on 50% of your
pallet costs and time to manipulate cargo
Pull the load to your racking & storing area
– No more back and forth with the fork-lifts
You will have access to all around the MTT
within your facility and if need, you will
trans-load the cartons to wooden pallets in
half the time. WE HAVE SEEN IT!!
Yes, you may lose some load factor but
some need to give a little to get a lot.
(however, 80% of containers are not
effected by our low profile MTT).
