What types of standard containers are there? - Equipment Container Wellcamp-Professional container production
The rapid development of standard container transportation has been recognized by the world for its superiority. The advanced nature of supplying efficient and reliable standard container transportation technology provides broad prospects for its development, prompting changes in cargo transportation and injecting new vitality into it. In recent years, the standard container shipping volume in western developed countries has basically maintained an increasing trend. Even in the era of the oil crisis, the volume of other transportation methods generally declined, but container transportation, with its low energy consumption, still maintained a stable or growing volume. What are the types of standard containers shared below? 1. A dry cargo container is also called a general cargo container, which is a general-purpose standard container. In addition to common liquids, it can also be loaded with general general cargo other than dry cargo, cargo that requires temperature adjustment and special cargo. This kind of container is widely used, and there are two commonly used loading specifications. Its structural characteristics are often closed, and there is usually a door at one end or side. 2. Low temperature container This is a container specially designed for transporting refrigerated cargo or low temperature cargo that requires maintaining a certain temperature. Such standard containers have built-in freezers and external mechanical refrigerated containers without freezers. Suitable for loading meat, fruit and other goods. The cost of reefer containers is high, and the operating costs are high. During use, attention should be paid to the technical status of the refrigeration device and the temperature required for the goods in the box. 3. Bulk container In addition to the box door, the bulk container has two or three loading ports on the top of the box, which is suitable for loading powder or granular goods. When using, pay attention to keep the inside of the box clean, of course, the premise is to keep the channel smooth to facilitate loading and unloading of goods. This is a container specially designed and manufactured for the shipment of small cars. Its structural feature is that it has no side walls, only a frame and a box bottom, and can be loaded with one or two layers of cars. To sum up, these are the common types of standard containers. Because standard containers are often affected by various forces and the environment during transportation, there are also containers specially designed for liquid cargo. Drain or aspirate from the top loading hole. Therefore, the manufacturing materials of containers should have sufficient rigidity and strength. In the future, promising standard containers should try to use materials with light weight, high strength, durability, and low maintenance costs, and the materials should be cheap and easy to obtain.
