ISOrahtikonttien

ISOrahtikonttien, also known as ISO shipping containers, are standardized intermodal containers used for the transportation of goods. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed the standards that govern their dimensions, strength, and handling. This standardization ensures that containers can be easily transferred between different modes of transport, such as ships, trains, and trucks, without needing to unload and reload the cargo itself.

The most common sizes are 20-foot and 40-foot containers, often referred to as TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) and FEU (forty-foot equivalent unit) respectively. These containers are constructed from steel and designed to withstand extreme conditions during transit and storage. They are equipped with corner castings that facilitate lifting, stacking, and securing.

ISOrahtikonttien play a crucial role in global trade, enabling efficient and cost-effective movement of a vast array of products worldwide. Their widespread adoption has significantly reduced shipping costs and transit times. Beyond standard dry cargo containers, variations exist for specialized purposes, including refrigerated containers for perishable goods and tank containers for bulk liquids.
