Shipping Container

After speculating on here about what kind of container brought my Sinus, a guy wrote and told me about it. He said that the truck trailer (minus frame and wheels) WAS the shipping container. That some shipping containers are designed to fit onto bare truck trailers (just the frame, hitch, and wheels--and lights, and brakes, etc.). The container attaches to the bare trailer frame with four pins, and then it pulls behind a tractor just like any other trailer would, and looks like a regular truck trailer.

This is why my Sinus had been packed so well: Pipistrel did it! Then they lifted it onto a truck trailer frame, took it to Germany where it was loaded onto MOL's Sealand Florida, brought to Houston, I suppose snapped similarly onto a railroad flat car, unloaded at Denver, fastened back onto a truck trailer frame, and brought to me. Inside, it did look a little unlike a regular trailer, and so it was!

All this sounds innovative and good,
