What are Special Purpose Containers for? The key to efficient transportation and specialized storage.

2025-08-08

In logistics, industrial, and specialized transportation, ordinary containers often fall short. Special Purpose Containers are the answer to complex needs. Choosing the right container can double efficiency and safety.


Five core uses of special containers

Application Scenarios Problems Solved Examples of Specialized Container Types
Temperature-controlled transportation Risk of food and drug spoilage Refrigerated Container (Temperature Range: -30°C to +30°C)
High-risk goods transportation Chemical leaks or explosions Explosion-Proof Container (Anti-Static/Sealed/Corrosion-Resistant)
Precision equipment protection Equipment damage caused by vibration and humidity Constant Humidity and Shockproof Container (Vibration Isolation System ±0.5G)
Oversized cargo transportation Large machinery that cannot fit into standard containers Open Top Container/Rackmount Container (Load Capacity 40 tons and Up)
Specialized warehousing Dust-proof, insect-proof, and moisture-proof storage requirements Enclosed Storage Container (IP66 Protection Rating)


Why aren't ordinary containers enough?

The core value of Special Purpose Containers lies in "precisely matching needs." Special Purpose containers offer many advantages.

Upgraded materials, including 304 stainless steel or special coatings. Strengthened structures increase the chassis' load capacity by 200%. Expanded functionality, Special Purpose Containers can integrate temperature and humidity sensors, GPS tracking, and automatic ventilation systems.


Key Parameter Selection Guide

Specifications Standard container Dedicated container Differentiated Value
Case Material Ordinary weathering steel 304 stainless steel with nano-coating Extended service life by 15 years
Load Capacity 25-30 tons 40-60 tons (reinforced chassis) Carrying large machinery/heavy equipment
Temperature Control Accuracy ±5°C (refrigerated container) ±0.5°C (pharmaceutical grade) Meets GMP certification requirements
IP Rating IP44 (basic dust and water resistance) IP66 (high-pressure water and dust resistant) Adapts to extremely harsh environments
Safety Certification CSC standard certification IMDG/ADR hazardous materials certification Transports hazardous materials in a compliant manner
Intelligent System None Real-time temperature control + positioning + alarm Fully controllable, reducing risk


How to choose a reliable supplier?

Remember these three dos and don'ts.

Check certifications: international certifications such as IMDG/ADR/ATEX are essential.

Review case studies and request transportation plans from similar industries.

Measure parameters and conduct on-site tests for load-bearing capacity, temperature control, and sealing performance.

Don't be fooled by "all-purpose containers." Special Purpose containers must be designed for specific scenarios!

Don't skimp on monitoring systems; intelligent monitoring is the sole basis for accident accountability.

Don't neglect after-sales service; suppliers must provide a global list of emergency repair locations.
