Container materials can be divided into the following categories:
1. Steel container: The advantages are strong structure, high strength, good watertightness, high weldability and low price; but it is heavy and has poor corrosion resistance. This is a relatively common material.
2. Aluminum alloy container: light weight, strong corrosion resistance, easy processing and long life; but the cost is high and it is not suitable for welding.
3. FRP container: It has high strength, good insulation and corrosion resistance, easy cleaning and simple repair; the disadvantage is that it is heavy and easy to age, which will lead to reduced strength at the bolting point.
4. Aluminum container: Because it is easy to deform, it is rare on the market and few people choose it.
5. Wood: Container houses built with wood have high mechanical strength, strong resistance to mechanical damage, and can withstand huge loads. And this kind of container house supported by wood can also be recycled and reused, effectively saving costs. The container house with good after-sales service does not rust and is green and environmentally friendly. When it becomes waste, it can also be used in a comprehensive manner. Easy to build and provide people with convenient and effective space.
Container is a cargo transportation equipment that is easy to load and unload mechanically and can be used repeatedly for a long time. It is also called "cargo box" or "cargo container".
Containers used for cargo transportation should meet the following conditions:
(1) Fully or partially closed to form a loading warehouse;
(2) Permanent, so strong enough to be used repeatedly;
(3) Specially designed to facilitate the use of one or more modes of transportation to carry goods without reloading;
(4) Designed to be easy to load and unload, especially when moving from one mode of transportation to another;
(5) Designed to be easy to fill and unload;
(6) The internal volume is one cubic meter or more.
The general container is a six-sided cuboid, which consists of a frame structure, two side walls, an end face, a box top, a box bottom and a pair of doors.
