CAT Loaded Container Handlers El Paso

The intermodal container may be called by other names such as a box, high-cube container, ISO container, sea can, freight container, conex box, and container. These models are made from standardized reusable steel. They offer secure and efficient and safe storage for moving supplies across the globe via a global containerized intermodal freight system.



"Intermodal" is a term that refer to the container which could be moved between one type of transport to another. Intermodal can mean from a ship to truck or ship to rail, without having to reload and unload the contents of the container. Some of the container lengths that have a unique ISO 6346 reporting mark on them vary from 2.438 m or 8-feet to 56 feet or 17.07m. These models are as high as 8 feet or 2.438 m to 2.9 m or 9 feet, 6 inches. It is estimated that there are about 17 million intermodal containers in the globe of various kinds to suit a range of cargoes.



These containers can be transported by freight train, semi-truck trailer and container ship. They can also travel many distances without having to be unpacked. At container terminals, they are transferred between modes using container cranes. A reach-stacker is normally utilized to transfer from a flat-bed truck to a rail car. These units are secured during transportation by a variety of "twistlock" points situated at every corner on the container.



Every container is equipped with a specific bin identification code or BIC code which is painted on the outside in order to take care of identification and tracking. These models are capable of lifting items ranging around 20 to 25 tonnes.



For transport on rails, the container can be carried on flatcars or on well cars. Well cars have been designed particularly for use by intermodal containers. They could accommodate double-stacked containers safely and efficiently. The loading gauge of a rail system may actually restrict the kinds of container shipment and the specific modes of the shipment. Like for instance, the smaller loading gauges which are typically found within European railroads will only handle single-stacked containers. In certain countries like the United Kingdom, there are certain sections of the rail network that cannot accommodate high-cube containers, unless they could utilize well cars only.



These containers are made sturdy enough to last through the many travels across extreme distances. These containers are reused by companies and are able to transport large amounts of cargo. These containers are responsible for transporting many of the items we rely on everyday all over the globe.
