What are the types of common special containers? - Container Prefab Wellcamp-Professional container production

Special containers are mainly different from ordinary containers in size and use. Ordinary containers are generally divided into three types according to size: 20-foot container, 40-foot container and 40-foot heightened container. In the transportation industry, other types of containers are called special containers. . They can carry special cargo, and special containers need to be booked with the shipping company before they can be used. Popular special containers are mainly divided into the following categories according to their uses: 1. Open-top containers The biggest feature of this special container is that the top can be opened, and the goods are loaded from the top of the container by a crane, which is not only convenient to carry a large amount of steel and wood, Fragile goods such as glass sheets can also be transported. Open-top containers are divided into two categories, one is a hard-top special container, which is made of thin steel plate; the other is a soft-top special container with a canvas or plastic sheet roll cover, which is convenient to roll up the top directly. 2. Refrigerated container The main purpose of this special container as the name suggests is to maintain a low temperature environment for transporting goods, and it is often used to transport fresh food. There are two types of reefer containers in the world. The first type has a refrigerant in the container, which is called a mechanical reefer container; the second type only has air holes in the container, which is called a clutch reefer container. This kind of special container can keep the goods fresh during transportation, and is widely used in the shipping industry of seafood and fruit food. 3. Tank container This special container mainly contains liquid. In order to avoid liquid remaining in the container, the interior must be ground and polished. Under normal circumstances, the top of the tank container is provided with a loading port, and the bottom is provided with an exhaust valve. When unloading, the liquid can be output from the exhaust valve, and the liquid can also be sucked out from the loading port. There is usually a heater in the lower part of each tank to heat the inside of the container to reduce the viscosity of the liquid. 4. Bulk container This special container mainly carries rice and soybeans, and the delivery port is set at the lower part of the box door, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading, and reduce the pollution of dust to the environment. 5. Frame container This special container is the most special in appearance. The shape of four columns enables it to carry livestock, steel, etc. from the side. The naked transportation method can save a lot of transportation materials. Special containers solve many problems in the transportation industry according to special circumstances. Its freedom in size and shape also provides customers with many options, perfectly meeting the needs of various transportation scenarios. Since many transportation ports and transportation stations are not directly equipped with professional special containers, users can book with the transportation company in several common special containers according to their own cargo conditions.
