It is a must for the international transportation sector because the goods reach the destination without any damage, saving on packaging costs, the advantages of convenient and quick handling, and the use of containers in international commercial transportation is increasing day by day.
CONTAINER TYPES
- Standard Container Type (Standard Container):
Standard containers are the most frequently used containers for general purpose loads. All walls of the standard container are closed and there are front and (or) rear doors. It is designed for general cargo loads and it is possible to carry all loads that can pass through the door of the container and fit inside.
- Open Top Containers (Hard Top Container):
Open-top containers are used especially in heavy and long loads and in situations where it will be difficult to load from the door. Thanks to the openable steel roof of this type of containers, the loads that are very difficult to load into a standard container can be easily loaded from the ceiling by opening the top of the container.
- Open Top Container:
Open-top containers are especially designed to be used for the transportation of high-height loads. These containers can be left uncovered or covered with a tarpaulin. Thanks to the flexibility provided by the canvas, loads that are high for standard containers can be easily transported with this container.
- Flatrack Container
Open containers have no side walls and no roof. For this reason, it is used to transport loads that do not fit in standard and open-top containers (top and side). It is especially preferred for the transportation of heavy, high and (or) wide loads such as construction equipment, vehicles, generators.
- Platform Container
Platform containers have a strong base resistant to high loads and are used for loads that cannot be loaded directly on the ship, such as minibuses, yachts, which have a leash from the top, front and rear.
- Refrigerated Container
Refrigerated containers are used to transport cargoes (frozen foods, fruit, flowers, etc.) whose temperature must remain constant during transportation. These containers have their own cooling unit that can control their internal temperature, and when they are loaded on the ship, they are connected to the ship's power supply and provide the necessary energy. In addition, thanks to the panel located outside the container, the temperature value of the container can be controlled and temperature changes can be observed with an analog or digital recorder during the voyage.
- Tank Containers:
Tank containers are used to transport liquid or gaseous cargoes. A cylindrical tank is placed inside the steel rectangular construction structure. The tank should be at least 80% full in order to prevent the load from shaking as a result of vibrations during transportation. However, the fill rate of the tank should not exceed 95% so that the expansion due to temperature does not pose a danger.
- Bulk Containers:
They are especially used in bulk cargo transportation such as grain.
