3. The conveyance system of claim 1 , further including an access panel for accessing the first conveyor.

4. The conveyance system of claim 3 , wherein the access panel is movable within the side wall.

5. The conveyance system of claim 4 , wherein the access panel is pivotably attached at the base and configured to open outwardly until parallel with the base to form a platform.

6. The conveyance system of claim 1 , further including a platform within the shipping container.

7. The conveyance system of claim 1 , wherein the shipping container is one of a standard 40 ft shipping container or a standard 20 ft shipping container.

8. The conveyance system of claim 1 , wherein the shipping container includes the drive unit to form a discrete first conveyor having a load receiving point and a load discharge point.

9. The conveyance system of claim 1 , further including solar panels on at least one of the walls of the container.

10. The conveyance system of claim 1 , wherein the first conveyor is fixed to one of the side walls of the container for transport and the container is rotatable about a longitudinal axis for orientating the first conveyor in the assembled state.

11. The conveyance system of claim 1 , wherein the shipping container is adapted to be mounted on a support structure selected from a group consisting of: a footing, a rail, a floatation device, or combination(s) thereof.

12. The conveyance system of claim 1 , further including a second conveyor fixed within the shipping container.

13.

15. The conveyance system of claim 1 , wherein:

the first conveyor comprises a load receiving portion and a load discharge portion; and

one of the load receiving portion, the load discharge portion, or a combination thereof is adapted to be moved from a first position to a second position when the continuous conveyor is assembled.

16. A conveyance system including:

a conveyor having a frame connectable to a drive unit; and

a shipping container having a base, a top wall, two opposing side walls and two opposing end walls, wherein:

the conveyor is fixed within the shipping container in an assembled state; and

the conveyor is fixed on one of the sidewalls of the container for transport, and is rotatable about the base to a horizontal position in the assembled state.

17. A conveyance system including:

a plurality of conveyor units, each conveyor unit comprising:

a shipping container, and

a conveyor fixed within the shipping container in an assembled state;

wherein each conveyor unit is configured to be coupled to an adjacent conveyor unit to form a continuous conveyor.

18. The conveyance system of claim 17 , wherein a conveyor of a first conveyor unit is configured to transport a load in a first direction, and a conveyor of a second conveyor unit is configured to transport the load in a second direction when the second conveyor unit is coupled to the first conveyor unit.
