Features and Applications of Large Rolling Storage Containers
Large rolling storage containers can be understood as similar types of containers or rack containers used on roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) container ships. They support rolling loading and unloading and are suitable for transporting large cargo. The following is a detailed introduction to their characteristics and applications:
1. Characteristics
High loading and unloading efficiency: Supports rolling loading and unloading, significantly shortening loading and unloading time and improving transportation efficiency.
High versatility: Can load various types of large cargo, such as containers, vehicles, long and heavy items, and grouped cargo.
Special structure: Ro-Ro container ships adopt a multi-level flat-deck structure without transverse bulkheads. The decks are connected by ramps or elevators, supporting rolling loading and unloading of containers, vehicles, and large cargo. Rack containers have no top or sides, allowing loading and unloading from the side, suitable for loading overweight and large cargo.
Lower capacity utilization: Due to their structural characteristics, the capacity utilization rate of Ro-Ro container ships is relatively low, typically between 30% and 40%.
Higher cost: The main dimensions of Ro-Ro container ships are limited, and the cost is approximately twice that of ordinary container ships.
2. Applications
Short-haul coastal intermodal transport: Roll-on/roll-off container ships are widely used for short-haul coastal or near-sea routes, particularly when combined with intermodal transport, where they offer significant economic benefits.
Loading large cargo: Large rolling storage containers, such as frame containers, are suitable for loading large and heavy cargo, such as fragile heavy goods like steel, timber, and glass, as well as unpackaged cargo without external packaging, such as steel.
Special cargo transport: They can also be used to load special cargo such as livestock and vehicles. For example, animal containers are specifically designed for transporting live animals such as cattle and horses, and feature good ventilation and feeding facilities.
