With the increased shipping of the liquids and hazardous
gases, it requires safety to deliver them to the destination. ISO containers help
to protect the liquids material or other stuff while delivering from one point
to another. Different safety standards are followed for the deliveries, and
distant ISO tanks are used.
Depending upon the stuff to be delivered, the
dimension of the ISO tanks is varied, and container units vary in terms of
construction, structure, or material. The infrastructure of the ISO container is
designed differently for both hazardous and non-hazardous materials.
ISO containers adhere to the different freight transportation specifications
based upon the ISO standards, which assure the safe delivery of the cargo through
rail, sea, and road. Depending upon the cargo type, smart technology is used such
as heating or cooling control. ISO containers are also used for the delivery of
food products with the utmost safety.
Some most common shipping ISO containers are:
Dry Storage Container
It comes in various sizes that include 40 ft. 20 ft.
and 60 ft. This container is suitable for dry products that may include food
items or raw material. If you’re shipping a bulk amount of dry pesticides,
these are useful. Moreover, these containers don’t provide temperature control;
it is preferable to use when you have shipped food or the chemical, although it
provides the refrigeration control to store the food products.
Flat Rack Container
The infrastructure of the flat rack container is designed
without a top but it contains two sides wall. It is preferable when you have to
deliver heavy load machinery, and the container is almost 30 ft to 40 ft long:
stainless steel and durable material used for the flat rack container. A flatbed load board is another
reliable choice to deliver heavy loads.
Refrigerated
and Thermal Containers
Thermal containers are preferable because they
offer complete support to maintain the temperature. In the thermal containers,
the temperature is higher as compared to the external temperature. It is
suitable for the materials or liquids that require high temperatures.
Refrigerated containers have low temperatures as compared to the external
environment.
UN
Portable Containers
The tank containers are known as UN portable
containers. These are used for the storage of hazardous material, non-hazardous
gases, and foodstuff. The price of the tank is slightly higher than other types
of ISO containers. These containers are designed as per the strict ISO rules.
