Transport of containers

Transport of containers, cargo carriage zjednostkowanej, in particular, the containers may now be the most common type of carriage. It applies to all branches of maritime transport as well as intermodal: from maritime transport, the railway and road transport, including "transport container" as well as "container transport".

The recognition of their containers owe economy. Universalization "packaging" (gro containers pose after two of its types: 20- and 40-foot) It resulted in significantly lowering transport costs. This may be a result of unification of means of transport: from road tractors, popular trucks, the port facilities, and even tractors SISU, tyred gantry cranes on the wharf and container terminals and finally the same ships operating in the maritime transport. Unification concerns not only equipment but also workflow.

Huge "smoothing" due to the application of universal solutions have metamorphosed bottlenecks in logistics strings, while molding of containers and odładowywanie action has become much more effective and safer than before, what services range: Container transport, and both "container transport" does efektywniejszymi.

However, containers are not only two of their most popular type: 20 and 40 alloyed (what for handling statistics be drawn according as counterparts 1 as well as 2 TEU). The range of need made, that introduces various additional types of differing size from top, design or special application.

It would be helpful to mention containers High Cube. They differ from normal greater external height of 9'6″ (2,895mm). The result was a further approx. 10m3 cubage ładownej. The container that is sometimes designed to carry freight planned light, spatial as well as increased amount of, which must not be loaded into a standard container. Frequently used in maritime transport.

Attractive solution-type containers are palletwide, constructed on the basis of 40′ Universal containers. Their increased width of the inner founded, to ensure that the loading across the 3 europalet or two industrial pallets. As a result, the container to be loaded 40'PW 30 europalet, to 45'PW – 33, as the container 40′ Universal only 25. Palletwide containers are used for short sea shipping (in particular Europa) there, where transport morski must fight hard with the private car, It is maritime transport in practice.

In addition to other types of containers worth mentioning 20 and 40 - Foot containers with an open roof (the so-called. „open-topy”). For the transport of oversized loads are designed so. Hardtopy, which are difficult or can not be loaded into a standard container. The construction of such a container for loading or from the top and through the doorway with removable upper beam. In contrast to the open top of the container, has a removable hardtop sealed steel roof bryzo. This roof weighs around. 450 kg. Containers hardtop belong to specialized equipment. Widely used in the "transport container".

Containers platform are long and at 40′. They are used to transport cargo as well as bulky cumbersome. Load capacity 40 containers platforms′ is ca.. 40 tons and a much higher than other types of containers. Robust floor provides transportation of goods with enormous pressure from the local. These containers are used in relationships port to port. Also as containers flaty, in combination they could create a few on board or in the hold of the ship tween deck for transporting materials niekontenerowych. Also within the service "container transport".

In addition to other relatively commonly used (in the field of maritime transport) replace additionally kCooling ontenery, which are used for transporting goods requiring a constant temperature. The sides have a structure in translation populated with polyurethane foam.

The cooling unit automatically maintains the set temperature in the range of approximately. +25°C – -25° C so long, when the difference between the outside temperature and the set does not exceed, for heating 42 ° C, Cooling 65 ° C. They gain considerable popularity within the service of services "Container transport"And" container transport '.

It uses both tank containers (the so-called. Tanki), for the transport of liquid chemicals or such. potable liquids.
