What are the types and functions of containers?

Types of containers (also known as containers): (1) According to the size of the specification: At present, the dry containers (dry containers) commonly used in the world are:

The outer dimensions are 20 feet x 8 feet x 8 feet 6 inches, referred to as 20 feet container; 40 feet x 8 feet x 8 feet 6 inches, referred to as 40 feet container; and the 40 ft x 8 ft x 9 ft 6 inch that has been used more often in recent years, referred to as the 40-foot high cube container. 20-foot container: the internal volume is meters, the gross weight of the distribution is generally tons, and the volume is 24-26 cubic meters.

40-foot container: the internal volume is meters, the gross weight of the distribution is generally 22 tons, and the volume is 54 cubic meters. 40'HQ Container:

The internal volume is meters. The gross weight of the distribution is generally 22 tons, and the volume is 68 cubic meters. 45'HQ Container:

40-foot foldable platform cargo box: internal dimensions are meters, and the gross weight of the distribution is tonnage. (2) According to the material of the boxing:

There are aluminum alloy containers, steel plate containers, fiberboard containers, FRP containers. (3) According to the use: there are dry containers; reefer container; dress hanger container; opentop container; flat rack container; Tank container

3.Related parties of container transportation: mainly include:

NVOCCs, Container Actual Carriers, Container Leasing Companies, Container Depots and Container Freight Stations, etc. References are:

Types: Containers can be divided into steel, aluminum alloy and FRP containers according to the different materials used.

According to the structural form, containers can be divided into two categories: detachable and non-disassembled.

Function: The container can greatly improve the efficiency of loading and unloading, accelerate the turnover of vehicles and ships, reduce the damage and difference of goods, simplify the packaging and tally procedures, and eliminate heavy manual labor, thereby greatly reducing the cost of packaging, transportation and loading and unloading of goods.

Therefore, container transportation has developed rapidly in recent years, and has led to the reform of ship types, loading and unloading machinery, etc. From the perspective of port development at home and abroad, containers have replaced bulk cargo and become an important symbol of port modernization and internationalization.

There are 6 types of containers.

1. Dry container (abbreviated as DC or GP).

2. Reefer container (RF for short, HR for high container) There are requirements for the temperature of the goods, such as fresh goods, and some goods that require constant temperature.

3. Open top box (OT for short) The open top box can be loaded with goods from the top, especially suitable for oversized goods such as machinery. The open-top box is equipped with a PVC tarpaulin cover and a removable frame with wire sealing. The door of the open-top box can be removed for easy packing.

4. Flat Rack (FR) Flat Rack is specially designed for heavier goods that need to be packed from the top or both sides, such as pipes and machines. Walled or non-walled, collapsible or non-collapsible.

5. Hanger Container (HT) Customers can choose to use rope or stick, or both to hang clothing. These containers are highly flexible and have a large internal capacity, which also saves on transportation and handling costs.

6. A tanker container is a special container (container) for transporting liquids. In addition, there are railway containers and air containers, both of which have their own characteristics.

There are 10 types of containers, and the specific names and abbreviations are as follows:

1. Reefer Container, abbreviated as RF.

2. Dress Hanger Container, abbreviated as DHC

3. Open top container, abbreviated as OT.

4. Flat rack container (flat rack container) is abbreviated as fr.

5. Tank container, abbreviated as TK.

6. Platform container, abbreviated as PC.

7. Ventilated container, abbreviated as VC.

8. Insulated container, abbreviated as IC.

9. Dry container, abbreviated as DC.

10. Bulk container, abbreviated as BC.

1. Open-top container: used for loading heavy goods such as glass plates, steel products, machinery, etc., which can be loaded and unloaded from the top by cranes, and the top of the open-top container can be opened or has no fixed item surface.

2. Frame container: used for long, overweight, and light foam goods.

3. Canned container: used for liquid cargo.

4. Platform container: used for the shipment of out-of-gauge goods, there is a very strong chassis, and several platform containers can be used at the same time when shipping large goods.

5. Frozen containers: used to transport butter, chocolate, frozen fish, condensed milk, margarine and other items.

6. Frame containers: used for overweight cargo, loading livestock, and naked cargo such as steel that can be exempted from outer packaging.
