[James Wilson77]

With the continuous development of container transportation, in order to meet the needs of loading different types of goods, different types of containers have appeared. Let me summarize with you today.

Sort by material

According to what material is used for the main parts of the box (side walls, end walls, box top, etc.), it is called a shipping container made of what material. According to the materials used, shipping  containers can be divided into three types:

 

(1) Aluminum alloy shipping containers have the advantages of light weight, beautiful appearance, anti-corrosion, good elasticity, convenient processing, low processing and repair costs, and long service life; the disadvantages are high cost and poor welding performance;

 

(2) Steel shipping containers have the advantages of high strength, firm structure, high weldability, good water tightness and low price; the disadvantages are large weight and poor corrosion resistance;

 

(3) FRP shipping containers have the advantages of high strength, good rigidity, large internal volume, good heat insulation, anti-corrosion, good chemical resistance, easy cleaning, and easy repair; the disadvantage is that it is heavy, easy to age, and the strength of the bolts is reduced.

 

Sort by structure

(1) Linterior post type container and outside post type container mainly refer to aluminum alloy containers, and inner post type container means that the side post (or end post) is located between the inverted wall or end wall. Inner; outer column container means that the side column (or end column) is located outside the inverted wall or end wall;

 

(2) Collapsible container means that the main components of the shipping container (side walls, end walls and box top) can be simply folded or disassembled, and can be easily reassembled for reuse;

 

(3) Monocoque container, which is composed of all components into a steel body, has the advantage of light weight and can adapt to the torsion that occurs without causing permanent deformation.

 

Classification by purpose of use

• Ordinary Containers

Ordinary containers, also known as dry containers, are mainly used to ship general goods, and are usually used to ship stationery, daily necessities, medicine, textiles, handicrafts, chemical products, Wujinjiaodian, electronic machinery, instruments and machine parts, etc. . Such containers account for 70 to 80% of the total number of shipping containers. In addition to frozen goods, live animals, and plants, dry cargo containers can be used for goods that are suitable for container transportation in terms of size and weight. 20ft and 40ft dry containers are the best products sold by CIMC-Equilink，there are hundreds of millions of transactions every year.

 

2、Reefer Containers

Reefer containers are divided into two types: external and internal. The temperature can be adjusted between -60℃ ~ +30℃. The built-in container can start the freezer at will during transportation to keep the container at the specified temperature; while the external-mounted container must rely on the special container vehicle, ship, special yard, and the freezer equipped on the station for refrigeration. This box is suitable for transporting items such as butter, chocolate, frozen fish, condensed milk, margarine and more in summer. CIMC-Equilink provides 10-foot, 20-foot, 40-foot, open-side and other Reefer Containers various specifications

 

3、Tank Containers

Tank container is also called liquid container. It is a special container made for the transportation of liquid goods such as food, medicine, and chemicals. Its structure is to fix a liquid tank in a metal frame. .. the standard tank is a stainless steel pressure vessel mounted in a tight outer frame. The inner liner of the tank is mostly made of 316 stainless steel. Most tanks have steam or electric heating, inert gas protection, pressure relief and other optional equipment required for fluid transportation and handling.
