How to classify and distinguish general Special Containers?

Classification based on different uses

General Special Containers can be divided into general Special Containers and special Special Containers based on different uses.

(1) General Special Containers, also known as dry cargo containers or general cargo containers, refer to fully enclosed containers with rigid tops, side walls, end walls and bottoms, and at least one end wall with a door. General containers are suitable for shipping most general goods.

(2) Special Containers refer to general or cargo containers with special structures for the convenience of loading and unloading goods without end doors, or for special purposes such as ventilation, including ventilated containers, open top containers, platform containers and channel containers.

Classification based on different structures

General cargo containers have internal column type, external column type, folding type, etc., which can be distinguished as follows:

(1) Internal column type special container

Its side columns or end columns are located inside the side walls or end walls, with a smooth surface, not easily damaged by oblique external forces, and relatively convenient for printing marks. There is space between the outer plate and the inner lining plate, so it has good heat protection effect and can reduce the moisture loss rate of goods. When repairing and replacing the outer plate, the box lining does not need to be removed.

(2) External column type special container

Its side columns or end columns are outside the side walls or end walls, so when subjected to external forces, the outer plate is not easily damaged, and sometimes the inner lining plate can be omitted.

(3) Folding type special container

Its side walls, end walls and box top can be easily folded or disassembled. It can be easily reassembled when used again. It can reduce the volume of the box during collection and storage, improving the economic effect of transportation.
