Container Knowledge Sharing

Containers play a key role in modern logistics, transport and construction. It is produced as a box equipment according to the specified specifications, good strength and rigidity, can be reused and easy to mechanical loading and unloading, the size of a variety of different goods in order to adapt to different.

Containers play a key role in modern logistics, transport and construction. It is produced as a box equipment according to the specified specifications, good strength and rigidity, can be reused and easy to mechanical loading and unloading, the size of a variety of different goods in order to adapt to different.

Its main frame is mostly made of weather-resistant steel. General shipping boxes and land transport boxes using beam-column system structure, there are internal column (affecting the use of space) and external column (can make full use of the space inside the box), customised boxes are structurally flexible, can be modified according to the needs.

There are many kinds of containers. According to the material, steel high strength but easy to corrode need maintenance; aluminium alloy light weight, beautiful and corrosion resistant, but high price; stainless steel corrosion resistant but high cost; glass fiber reinforced plastic strength, heat insulation and corrosion resistance, easy to clean, can be a large weight, high price. From the structure, there are folding, fixed and prefabricated, respectively, with easy to transport and storage, good stability, high construction efficiency. According to the use of points, including dry cargo, refrigerated, open top, bench, ventilated, tanks and other containers for the transport of different characteristics of goods.

Container construction has significant advantages. In terms of cost, low cost of using waste containers as materials, fast construction, shortening the construction period and labour cost, reducing the structural support materials. Environmental protection and energy saving, reduce the need for traditional building materials, recyclable, good heat preservation. Flexibility and mobility is good, can be quickly installed and relocated, suitable for temporary or mobility places, and its own high strength, reinforced to withstand disasters.

In the container building design and construction, the appearance of the design needs to be combined with the environment and function, choose the right colour, material, shape, but also through the spraying and so on to create an atmosphere. Space layout should be reasonable planning, consider lighting and ventilation, multi-storey buildings need to design transport facilities. Thermal insulation and sound-proofing are important, and thermal and sound-absorbing materials can be used. Structural reinforcement in accordance with the building using support columns and other ways to enhance stability, according to the geological design of the foundation to ensure safety.

In short, the container in the field of transport and construction applications are promising, the value will be more prominent with the development of technology.
