Introduction of common shipping containers
Containers are widely used in the process of shipping. Compared with other ways, containers can carry more goods and do not require too much goods, so they are widely used.
1. Dry cargo container
Dry cargo container is also called general cargo container. It is a general container, which is used to load general cargo except liquid cargo, goods requiring temperature adjustment and special cargo. This kind of container is widely used. There are two kinds of containers, 20 feet and 40 feet in common use. Its structural feature is that it is often closed, and there is a box door at one end or side.
Dry cargo containers are usually used to transport cultural goods, daily necessities, medicine, textiles, handicrafts, chemical products, hardware and electrical appliances, electronic machinery, instruments and machine parts and other groceries. This kind of container accounts for 20% ~ 80% of the total number of containers.
2. Refrigerated container
Refrigerated containers can be divided into external type and built-in type. The temperature can be adjusted between - 28 ℃ and 26 ℃. In the process of transportation, the built-in container can start the refrigerator at will to keep the specified temperature, while the external container must rely on the refrigerator equipped on the container vehicle, ship, special yard and station.
This box is suitable for transporting butter, chocolate, frozen fish, condensed milk, margarine and other items in summer.
3. Open top container

The crane can load and unload goods from the top of the container, and the waterproof cloth is used to cover the top of the container when shipping. Its water tightness requirements are the same as that of dry cargo container. It is suitable for loading large cargo with high height and heavy cargo to be hoisted.
