What are the main materials of equipment containers - Container house Wellcamp-Professional container production

When you buy items online, when you browse all kinds of goods on the street, it is often because of the equipment container that we can send and receive packages from all parties with peace of mind. Although its existence provides us with a lot of convenience, most of us are very unfamiliar with equipment containers. You may think that it is far away from me and there is no need to know it. However, in modern society, especially in the era of internationalization, Not only for leisure and entertainment, but also for work has begun to rely on equipment containers. Next, we will take you to quickly understand its types, so that you can quickly choose the transmission tool that best meets your needs when you use it later. Type 1, steel: The outer panel structural components of this equipment container are all made of steel, and the price of a steel container of the same size is 60%-70% of that of an aluminum container. The biggest advantage is high strength, strong structure, good weldability and water tightness, and low price, but the biggest disadvantage is the large weight, due to the large self-weight, it also reduces the loading volume. In addition, because steel is easy to corrode and rust, anti-rust painting must be carried out twice a year, so the usage rate is low and the service life is also short, generally 11-12 years. Type 2, aluminum: The aluminum equipment container is usually not made of pure aluminum, but is a variety of light aluminum alloys with the most important components, so it is also called aluminum alloy equipment container. The biggest advantage is light weight, which is 20%-25% lighter than steel equipment containers, so the same size can hold more goods than steel equipment containers. In addition, it has the characteristics of no rust, good elasticity, easy deformation after external force, and general recovery after the external force is removed. The disadvantage is that the welding and wear resistance are poor, and the fatigue strength is insufficient. Therefore, the corner pieces, corner posts and frame structures are generally still made of steel, so the price is high, and they are generally used to manufacture special containers. The service life is generally 15-16 years, which is longer than other types. Type 3, fiberglass: This equipment is composed of plastic-steel composite panels on the container frame of this equipment. It is characterized by high strength and good rigidity, and plastic steel has good heat insulation, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, which can prevent condensation in the container and help protect valuable goods from moisture damage; the main disadvantage is that it is heavy, It is almost the same as the general steel equipment container. Type 4, stainless steel: This kind of equipment container is a new material, which has the advantages of high strength, no rust and good corrosion resistance, so it has a beautiful appearance; no maintenance is required during the service period, so the utilization rate is high. The disadvantage is that the price is high, the initial investment is large; the material is small, and it is difficult to manufacture in large quantities. Through the above introduction, I believe you have a basic understanding of the manufacturing materials of equipment containers. The equipment container of the finished product is also different for each material according to its own performance and production process. Therefore, in terms of transportation selection, it is possible to compare and select the best type of material equipment container.
