Cargo Container
A cargo container, often referred to as an intermodal container or shipping container, is a large standardized metal box used for transporting goods across various modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, and trucks. These containers are designed to be durable and secure, protecting their contents from damage and theft during transit.
Common sizes include 20-foot and 40-foot lengths, though other dimensions are available. They are equipped with features like corner castings for easy stacking and locking mechanisms for secure sealing. Cargo containers revolutionized global trade by enabling efficient, cost-effective, and seamless movement of goods, contributing significantly to the rise of globalization and international commerce.
