Container
Container production can only be made in plants that have the necessary equipment such as high-power weld lines, workbenches for unrolling metal sheets, plate benders. Production of sea containers is a tough process starts with the metal itself and ends with painting the finished product and should be made by experts in the field. Today, such production is a promising industrial area that includes container production upon order.
Container Production Technology
A Container is a solid structure blended with corrugated metal walls, high-quality wooden floors, and special compounds and made from a steel frame with strong fastening systems.
Container production technology is based on using bending, mounting, and welding for fixing metals. According to the pre-prepared drawings and plans, the product is mounted precisely to special mounting and welding stands. The high-quality of the metal sheet connection is provided with semi-automatic welding and container door wings are covered with a special rubber profile that provides full tightness for the complete structure.
The wings are colored with paints and varnish that will protect the product until handling and have anticorrosive properties and will be furnished to the floors made of plywood. That’ why, it can be said that container production in Turkey is based on bending technology regulated by necessary legislation and international standards.
Container Production Rules
Turkey Sea Transport has developed and applied rules for the production of containers that determines the maximum permitted dimensions and rates of corner fittings, top and bottom longitudinal and cross-wise beams, walls, floor, ceiling, doors, etc. All these technical features have an important role in transport containers production. Another precondition for the production of these high strength products is the use of high-quality raw material and modern equipment.
Container transport of products is one of the most convenient methods of delivery to the destination since they are at certain standard sizes and can be moved with different transport methods:
In the transport and logistics services market, the railroad and sea transport are considered the cheapest and most efficient delivery method for far fields. That’ why, the consumer request for railroad and freight containers is the highest. Combining shipping methods for decreasing financial costs, providing high security, and speeding product delivery make container transport more and more popular. Sea and fright containers are not a self-propelled multi-modal cargo trailer designed for transporting and storing products. Railroad containers’ height differs from a freight container’s height. They are made of aluminum or ferrous metals. It is a rectangular box.
Distinguishing Containers:
-
These universal containers carry various products from industrial products to personal items.
-
These specialized containers carry products that are sensitive to external atmospheric and mechanical effects. These include cooled and isothermal ones in which special temperature conditions are created.
A container is tight, strong, and secure. It guarantees the full security of the load and becomes a warehouse that protects the shipped items from external effects. After the containers loaded they are closed and are continuously protected until reaching the destination. At present, 20 and 40 feet of freight containers are not just used in shipping and other transportation works. They are used as storage units, cabins, construction trailers, etc. All of these lead to the fact that container production has gained momentum.

Sea Container is a solid structure impregnated with corrugated metal walls, high-quality wooden floors, and special compounds and made from a steel frame with strong fastening systems.
Container Production Rules
Turkey Sea Transport Cargo Book has developed and applied rules for the production of containers that determines the maximum permitted dimensions and rates of corner fittings, top and bottom longitudinal and cross-wise beams, walls, floor, ceiling, doors, etc. All these technical features have an important role in transport containers production. Another precondition for the production of these high strength products is the use of high-quality raw material and modern equipment.
A 20 meters container is a standard medium size container that can be used in shipping products up to 30 tons. This is the most common container equipment at the moment. Since it is compact, such containers can be used for railroad and road shipping not only seaway. They are equally requested by both different companies and individuals.
Twenty meters-long sea container provides the products delivered most safely and comfortably. Also, by choosing such a shipment container you can be sure the security of the load since these containers are closed securely. In addition to the main functions, a 20m container can be used as a mobile warehouse, pumping stations, a movable base for mounting cooling and other equipment, and a change house in some cases.
Standard 20m container weighs 2.5 tons and this eases its mounting to floating vehicles. Specific dimensions of containers can be changed depending on the production company, but in general, they look like the following:
In addition to this, the size of the entrance is discussed separately with the customer since it cannot be suitable for every cargo type. Also, a standard 20m container designed for sea transport has the following technical features for approximately 24 tons of gross weight for the maximum load. The loading volume of such containers is universal and 33 cubic meters.
Design
A standard 20 meters container is a closed container mounted from the bottom, roof, walls, and doors. Such transport equipment is previously subjected to anticorrosive treatment and is made from a 3 mm thick steel section plate. The base of the container is supported with a 30 mm thick wooden floor. The wings can be opened from the front or the side.
Depending on certain container types, design features are different. That’s why a ventilated container has an open canvas and its height can be changed if desired. A 20 meters container can carry bulk for carrying furniture and can act as a refrigerator (equipped with a cooling unit and finished with a polyurethane foam isolation) for transporting vegetables and fruits.
When the load’s weight exceeds the capacity of a normal 20 meters container and it’s not practical to use a bigger container, an increased capacity container different in size from a standard container only in terms of maximum load.
Operational Features
Since the equipment of such a container is common, there is no special necessity for its transport. With the help of them, unless it is necessary to monitor the temperature in certain cases, it is possible to carry the products in any package without worrying about their safety. In cases where it is necessary to carry products vertically, use 20m containers.
The use of such containers provides optimization for load transport time which is generally lower than other containers and container costs. Also, they are indispensable for multimode transport.
Railroad transport with containers is the most common transport method in Turkey.
Such transport is popular both among individuals and big companies from various sectors. Because of the high cost of flammable materials and poor infrastructure development, even trucking is not that common and is not desired. Since the fuel cost and quality in Turkey is under the desired level, carriers prefer railroad transport today.

CONTAINER
There are various container products. All of them are combined with standard parameters because of loading, unloading, shipping, cafe, and other manipulations.
The standardization of the container depends on certain parameters:
Each container type has gained a proper box shape for loading and unloading with the use of transport and various mechanisms. Capacities vary in stored or carried cargo type as well as outer dimensions and carrying capacity. The most popular container in the world is a universal container and it is designed for every kind of transport. An exception of this is the transport of special cargo types that require temperature control, control of liquid and chemically active substances.
Universal containers divided into three groups:
-
Big capacity,
-
Medium tonnage,
-
Low tonnage.
A medium tonnage 5 tons container in sea railroad and sea transport is traditionally used in Turkey. A 3 tons container is used to carry the same load on roads.
Identification table:
-
GP - general-purpose capacity,
-
RE RT RS - rapidly spoiled food, drug, plant, etc,
-
HR HI - for the products require maintaining a certain temperature for a long time,
-
VH - tanks that do not have a mechanical ventilation system,
-
PC PS PF - are container platforms,
-
UT - open top,
-
BU - bulk and bulk materials,
-
TD TG TN - container tank,
