How are container specifications classified? - Container Prefab Wellcamp-Professional container production
Before the appearance of containers, people had always loaded goods directly on trucks or ships, which brought a series of inconveniences, so the container came into being in the hands of an American driver. Nowadays, it can be seen in almost all ports and freight stations. It can be said that it is used all over the world. So how do people distinguish containers? How is the standard of the container specified? A container is a large-scale loading container with certain strength, rigidity and certain specifications, dedicated to the turnover of goods. Using this product to transfer goods can directly reach the warehouse of the consignee without unloading the goods on the way. Undoubtedly much more convenient. Because containers are commonly used internationally today, they are divided into four categories according to international standards, national standards, regional standards and company standards. 1. International standard containers The international standard containers are formulated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). There are 13 current international standard containers. Their widths are all 2438mm, but there are four lengths, which are (12192mm) , 9125mm, 6058mm, 2991mm), and there are three heights (2896mm, 2591mm, 2438mm). 2. National standard containers National standard containers are standards formulated by various countries according to their own conditions, so each country is different. In my country, the external dimensions, limit deviation and rated weight of containers are formulated in accordance with the current national regulations of 'Container External Dimensions and Rated Weight'. 3. Containers of regional standards Take national standards as an example, and regional organizations also formulate container standards according to their own actual conditions. However, this type of container is only used in this type of area, such as the container built according to the container standard formulated by the European Union of International Railways (VIC). 4. The company's standard container is the standard set by the company of some container ships according to the standards of their own ships. But it can only be applied to the scope of transportation of such companies. Of course, in addition to these four categories, there are also many non-standard containers all over the world. This is because the economic development is becoming more and more prosperous, and the cargo transportation industry is becoming more and more prosperous, so containers are becoming more and more popular. The same is true in my country. With the take-off of China's economy, import and export trade is becoming more and more prosperous, and my country's container industry will become more and more prosperous. Transportation companies can also choose suitable containers according to the needs of the company.
