For a long time all over the world used convenient way to move goods. Currently, there are a large number of different capacities for transportation, small and large. Types of containers, as they are called, are different, they are used to transport cargo on near and far distances. The choice depends on what is going to carry a transport company, where and how. Types of containers for transportation directly affects the price that the customer pays. The more complicated operation on transportation, the more money he will pay.

The Concept of “container”

types of containersBefore you consider types of containers, you should understand what is “container”. Is a kind of container reusable for the transportation of goods to anywhere in the world in any way:

  • Car;
  • Aircraft;
  • Train;
  • Vessel.

Containers can be made of different materials and have different sizes and shapes. We consider in detail what are the different types.

When there?

types of containers for transportationThe Use of such containers started during the Second world war, when this type of carriage was used by the United States. At first containers were made of wood, but gradually it gave way to steel vessels, and in 50 years was made the first major shipping with the replacement shipment. The ability to change the form of transport in the process was very useful because it was possible to transport freight over long distances, without disturbing the contents up to the destination. This type of container is called intermodal. And later, in the 60s, appeared to generally accepted standards of what should be all of the containers by the standards specialists.

Types, container types

types of sea containersGathering together all the comments of transport companies and experts were able to identify specific types of containers for transportation. Consider the types of containers available on the market. Distinguish between varieties of containers according to parameters such as:

  • Size;
  • Material;
  • Capacity;
  • Transportation;
  • Type fixtures;
  • The nature of the cargo.

With size all clear with the material and capacity is also quite simple. Type of transportation means how the carrier will transport the goods by plane, by train, by sea, etc. Mount – the mechanism that is needed to lift and carry cargo on the vehicle. The nature of the goods affects whether the container is a refrigerator, or has its walls emollients for transportation of fragile goods and so on.

Classification

the container of the NorthSo, there are a variety of types and sizes of containers. We will tell you about the most popular and frequently used options.

  • “Dzheneral Kargo”. Closed container, there are doors, walls have a high rigidity, the floor and ceiling of sufficient strength; the load does not access the environment.
  • ‘Specifications: Kargo”. A sturdy container, but in addition to the first, and here the cargo can be moved without the use of doors; due to its characteristics this type of container is often used as a mine ventilation.
  • “Closed ventilated”. Tara with special holes for free ventilation; it is used to transport cargo that does not like dampness.
  • “Open top". This view is similar to a conventional wagon without roof; it's possible to install it from any suitable material (plastic, tent); these types are carrying a cargo that is oversized dimensions, and there is no way to ship it through the door.
  • “flat rack”. It is an open platform, which attach the cargo by means of special fasteners (auto, wood, etc.).
  • “thermal”. These containers are popular with food manufacturers because they are equipped with refrigerators. Transportation of meat, fish, dairy products now without much difficulty.
  • “Tank”. This type is suitable to transfer liquid or gaseous products; the value represents an absolute tightness of the container.
  • “dry bulk”. This type is used to move a large number of dry cargo, which loaded the nasyp (cereals, sand, etc.).
  • “Named Kargo”. These types have narrow special focus, as they apply only to transport one particular type of product (e.g., Pets); to this end it is equipped with special devices to keep animals.

As for the direct purpose of the tanks, as already mentioned, are containers:

  • For transportation of dry cargoes;
  • To move the fluids;
  • For gas transportation;
  • For transport of living organisms (poultry, cattle).

The dimensions of the containers also differ in their diversity. Thus, there are:

  • “20-foot standard”. Transportation of all types of cargo.
  • “40-foot standard”. For different goods of large dimensions.
  • “Haiku”. At forty feet long it has a large capacity and very durable wall.
  • “Open top”, as well as all other types of containers. Such containers are 20-foot and 40-foot. The choice of size depends on the size of the load.

Transport

As mentioned, the types of containers depends on how you will be transporting. Having studied the requirements for the carriage of goods and to ensure their safety, we understand that shipping a car is very different from transportation, for example, an ocean vessel. On this basis, and the type of container selected is appropriate. Many customers prefer to deal only with one transport company for all transportation. But there is also the option of shift of the carrier in the process of moving. Nowadays it has ceased to be a problem. The only thing to remember is that if you are dealing with one company, then shipping will cost you much cheaper than if you use the services of different companies.

Transportation by rail

closed containerTo navigate to any product using the trains is mainly applied in a universal container that can accommodate from one hundred to thirty thousand pounds. Very convenient is the fact that the containers have special fixtures for attaching to the platform. This provides a strong fixation of the cargo, and increases the safety during transportation. The containers can be moved on the platforms, cars. Not worth saving money at this stage because of the fact, whether you have selected the type of container and the type of delivery depends largely on the outcome of the enterprise.

Maritime transport

types of containersThe Types of shipping containers can also be distinguished by size. But most of the transports used dry containers, universal and type "high cube" of the occupancy may vary, and sizes range from twenty to forty feet. In any case, much depends on the nature of the cargo. Always necessary to consider possible emergencies that can happen at sea. Therefore, the stronger the container, the less chances to lose or damage the cargo. In this case, one of the key points is the way of securing cargo and containers.

Container of the type “North”

This is a special kind of container, as it is not used for the carriage of cargo and for people in extreme Northern conditions. It's kind of a mini-home, equipped with all necessary amenities to people. This includes parameters such as:

  • Insulation walls;
  • Fire safety home;
  • Special doors and Windows, which is not freezing in the frost;
  • Independent power supply;
  • Parking and much more.

Development of this type of container is significantly reduced inconvenience to the people who work in the North. This kind of container is very popular, as we have in the country and abroad. Not once in the movie and in life we are faced with such a “Northern” option home. It is difficult to call shipping container, but being in it during transport, it is still possible. In recent years, this "house" has undergone many innovations. Each year added all new amenities and technical devices to increase the comfort level.
