Moreover, another aspect of a container apparatus includes a wheeled box trailer, an intermodal shipping container, a railroad car, or other box-like holding and transporting device.

A joint or connection between adjacent sandwich structures and/or a sandwich structure and an elongated beam, for a container apparatus is also provided.
