Konttityyppejä

Konttityyppejä are standardized shipping containers used for the intermodal transport of goods. Their primary purpose is to facilitate efficient and secure movement of cargo across different modes of transportation, including ships, trains, and trucks, without the need for repackaging. The most common type is the dry freight container, available in lengths of 20 feet and 40 feet. These are designed for general cargo that does not require climate control.

Another important category is reefer containers, which are refrigerated containers equipped with a built-in cooling unit. They are essential for transporting perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, and pharmaceuticals that need to be maintained at specific temperatures. Open-top containers feature a removable roof, allowing for loading from the top, which is beneficial for bulky or tall items. Flat rack containers have no side walls and a collapsible or fixed headboard and end walls, ideal for oversized equipment or machinery. Tank containers, specifically designed for bulk liquids, gases, or powders, are built to strict safety standards. The standardization of these konttityyppejä ensures compatibility with handling equipment and transport vehicles worldwide, streamlining logistics and reducing costs.
