Storage Containers Store Bigger Stuff Than Salt And Sugar By : Sam Bullman When we hear the term storage containers, we might think of those everyday containers that store kitchen stuff (unless we happen to be in the transportation industry). While we all know what the everyday containers do, we might not be clearly aware of storage container roles in other areas. Let us take a look. Steel Containers Make Excellent Containers (And Much Else) By : Sam Bullman Unlike plastic, steel containers can be recycled. Shipping containers are recycled by converting them into useful structures or storage containers for use onshore. When these structures are at the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled again as scrap steel used in producing new steel. What Do You Ship In Shipping Containers? By : Sam Bullman Let us introduce shipping containers first. Shipping containers are standard sized boxes in which you ship merchandise. These are not small boxes for packing a pair of shoes. Standard shipping containers typically come in 8 feet by 8.5 (or 9.5) feet cross-sections, 20 or 40 or 45 feet long. So they compare best with log cabins than shoeboxes. (In fact, a popular use for empty shipping containers is to convert them into houses.) Freight Containers Transformed Logistics By : Sam Bullman Freight containers are standardized shipping containers. Shipping containers have standard dimensions, typically 20'x8'x8.5' or 40'x8'x8.5' or 45'x8'x9.5'. They have to be constructed to certain minimum standards of sturdiness to withstand the rigors of long ocean voyages and transfer from one mode of transport to another. Shipping containers meeting the standards can get CSC - Convention for Safe Containers - certification, a must for use in international shipping. Container Sales Involves More Than Container Sales By : Sam Bullman What comes to your mind when you hear the term container sales? Probably you think of a shop stacked with all kinds of containers like pet bottles, paper cartons, tin cans, and all the other containers you store stuff in. In this article, however, we discuss another type of container, the shipping container carried by large trailers that you see on the road and at dockyards. The Container Streamlines Freight Movement (And Can Become Offices, Shops And Houses) By : Sam Bullman We mean the shipping container here, not beer kit container. The 20 feet shipping container, 20'x8'x8.5' in size, can accommodate a mobile dwelling unit, with beds and furniture that fold into the wall, for example. Shipping containers come mostly in the standard sizes of 20 feet, 40 feet and 45 feet high-cube (the last with a height of 9.5'). If desired, containers can be customized in various ways, by constructing containers of a different dimension, or converting them into, say, houses. How Do You Go Buying Containers? By : Sam Bullman Before you go buying containers, you have to decide what you want them for. Are you planning to ship goods in the containers? If so, you need CSC - Convention for Safe Containers - certification testifying that the container is still suitable for safe handling and transportation in a commercial inter-modal transport environment.
