    Description

    This thing is HEAVY DUTY -- in the range of 400 pounds! It was definitely designed to be a cargo container -- perhaps for the war or industrial transport use.
    It's been sitting outside, under an awning: so not directly battered by rain and snow, but still exposed to ambient weather conditions. In other words, it's a little rough (rusty and oxidized). However, as you can see from the photos, the cage collapses and unfolds, and is structurally sound: the rust has not worn through anywhere.
    The overall dimensions are 31" wide x 39" deep x 36" tall, and the internal dimensions are 30" x 39" 29" tall (the feet are 7 inches).
    As I hope you can see from photo 5, this is a "Cargotainer," made by "Tri State Engineering Co., Washington Penna USA." I believe this was the precursor to what is today the TriState Container Corporation out of Bensalem, PA.
    Lastly, while I have it listed as Local Pick-up only, I'm happy to receive a freight shipping company picking it up here in Sylva, NC (which is about 45 minutes west of Asheville). I'm also happy to assist in any way I can, including providing specific details such as weight on the item(s). Or if you need, I can also help you create a listing on uShip: a website that allows movers and white glove shipping providers to connect with people who need furniture items moved throughout the country. As for the time it takes for those arrangements to be made, I am also open and flexible: everything is in climate-controlled storage, so no worries there. Thank you and cheers!
