A multi-modal cargo container, is capable of being transported by air, sea, rail, or truck and by manual handling, designed for intra-city delivery. The requirement of transporting maximum volume in limited urban space dictates the container's shape, dimensions, maximum weight and center of gravity. To minimize the possibility of loss of control or tipping during manual transport over uneven or sloped ground, Stabilizer and braking systems are provided that will stop the container and prevent tipping along its longitudinal axis either by manual or automatic operation. It is intended that the container will be operated by one or two handlers at either narrow end, and that dual redundant manual controls are provided for manual operation of the brake, manual deployment of the Stabilizer mechanism, retraction of the Stabilizer mechanism and resetting of the automatic override feature of the braking system should it deploy automatically.
