Ⅰ. Product Definition and Core Classification
A container is a standardized transportation unit made of steel box body , which has both transportation and space renovation functions. It can be divided into:
1. Standard freight container : Following ISO 668 standard, common sizes:
-20GP (6.06m × 2.44m × 2.59m, with a load capacity of 28 tons)
-40GP (12.19m × 2.44m × 2.59m, with a load capacity of 26 tons)
-40HC (high box, height 2.89m)
-45HC (extra long high box, suitable for large item transportation)
2. Special Container :
-Open Top, Side Door, Reefer, Tank Container, etc;
3. Container houses/buildings : converted or customized from standard containers, used for residential, office, commercial and other scenarios.
Ⅱ. Core Advantages and Performance Characteristics
Standardization and Universality :Global unified size specifications, seamlessly connected by sea, rail, and road, compatible with various loading and unloading equipment (such as gantry cranes and forklifts).
Strength and Durability: The main body is made of Corten steel, which has a corrosion resistance 4-8 times that of ordinary steel and a design life of over 25 years; Structural load-bearing capacity: The top can withstand a pressure of 20 tons, and the side can withstand wind pressure ≥ 1.2kPa.
Flexible Remodeling :The box can be cut, welded, and perforated, supporting water and electricity renovation and insulation treatment. The conversion from the box to the functional space can be completed within 7-15 days.
Cost and Efficiency :The cost of renovating second-hand boxes is only one-third of that of traditional buildings, and the cost of building custom boxes is 30% lower; Modular transportation and installation: a project consisting of 10 20 foot boxes can be delivered within one month.
Environmental attributes:The renovation of second-hand boxes reduces steel consumption, with a 100% material recovery rate and a 90% reduction in construction pollution compared to traditional buildings, in line with the concept of green building.
III. Typical Application Scenarios
1. Logistics and transportation field
-International freight: accounting for 90% of the global sea freight turnover, suitable for general cargo such as electronic products, clothing, machinery, etc. The refrigerated container can transport temperature controlled goods such as fresh produce and medicine;
-Warehouse Transfer: Temporary warehouse, port container yard, can stack 5-7 layers, increasing space utilization by 5 times.
2. Architecture and Space Renovation
-Residential Scene:
-Homestay/hotel: such as Sanya Seaside Container Homestay, which uses stacked boxes to form a staggered shape, with a single box renovation cost of 50000 to 80000 yuan;
-Affordable housing: Post disaster reconstruction of temporary residences, each box can accommodate 4-6 people, equipped with bathroom and kitchen modules. -Business and Office :
-Mobile office: construction site project department, field exploration station, can integrate air conditioning, network and office furniture.
-Industrial and Special Scenarios:
-Data centers: such as Microsoft's "Natick Project" and underwater container data centers, with a 40% increase in heat dissipation efficiency;
-Energy storage power station: containerized energy storage system, integrated with battery pack and temperature control equipment, supporting rapid deployment.
3. Special function applications
-Medical field : Mobile nucleic acid testing laboratory, vaccine cold storage (-20 ℃ constant temperature);
-Agricultural field : Container planting compartments (hydroponic vegetables, annual output of 3-5 tons per container), livestock breeding compartments (enclosed chicken/beekeeping).
Ⅳ. Selection and Customization Guide
1. Procurement Type Selection :
-New container: suitable for high standard scenarios such as refrigeration and dangerous goods transportation, priced at 25000 to 40000 yuan/20GP;
-Second hand box : Suitable for renovation purposes, the box body needs to be inspected for rust (rust hole ≤ 5cm ²) and water leakage (water spray test), priced at 10000-20000 yuan/20GP.
2. Customization process :
-Requirement communication: Confirm size, function (such as whether insulation, water and electricity are required), and appearance requirements;
-Scheme design: 3D rendering+structural calculation sheet (if the stacking scheme requires verification of load-bearing capacity);
-Production cycle: Standard renovation takes 10-15 days per box, while complex customization (such as refrigerated containers) takes 20-30 days.
3. Transportation and Installation :
-Transportation: 20GP can be transported by regular trucks, while 40HC requires an over limit transportation permit;
-Foundation: Simple projects can be directly placed on the concrete cushion layer, while permanent buildings require strip foundations or pile foundations.
Conclusion
Containers have evolved from a single mode of transportation to a multifunctional spatial carrier, and their standardization, flexibility, and economy are reshaping multiple industries such as construction, logistics, and energy. Whether it is emergency relief, business innovation, or sustainable development projects, container products can meet demand with cost-effective solutions and become an important driving force for modern industrial upgrading.
