Intermodal Containers
Intermodal containers are large, standardized boxes used for transporting goods across different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, and trucks. These containers are designed to be easily transferred between vehicles without unloading the cargo, making shipping more efficient and cost-effective. They come in various sizes, with the most common being 20-foot and 40-foot containers.
The use of intermodal containers has revolutionized global trade by simplifying the logistics of moving products. They are typically made of steel and are built to withstand harsh weather conditions. This standardization has led to increased security and reduced damage during transit, benefiting industries worldwide.
