TYPES OF CONTAINERS IN
MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT

For the transition between different means of transport to be as smooth as possible, multimodal transport needs a certain uniformity. That's where the specific containers come in, allowing the cargo to be transported in at least two means of transport without handling it.

The Specific Containers For Transporting The Cargo

Bulk container:

has openings for top loading, as well as in the lower areas, for easy emptying.

Tank container or tank:

suitable for bulk liquid transport, as well as liquefied gas.

Side-opening or open-side container:

has an opening on the side, making it easier to enter bulky goods, such as heavy machinery, pipes, etc.

Flat platform:

is a platform without a roof or sidewalls, ideal for transporting goods that are too large to be loaded in a container. It is covered with a sturdy tarp.

Open top half-height container:

is open at the top and its height is lower than normal. This type of container is widely used to transport very heavy and bulky goods such as minerals.
