Traditional Customized Shipping Containers are made of different materials. Among them, the main materials are steel, aluminum alloy and reinforced concrete. These materials offer many advantages such as strength, durability, reliability and economy. These materials are described in more detail below.

1. Steel

Steel is one of the most commonly used materials for traditional sea Containers. This is because steel is extremely strong and durable and can withstand harsh environments such as high pressure, high temperature and high humidity. In addition, steel has good elasticity and toughness, which can absorb shock and vibration during transportation. Steel containers also have the characteristics of fire prevention, corrosion resistance, shock resistance and anti-theft.

2. Aluminum alloy

Aluminum alloy is a lighter material than steel, which can greatly reduce transportation costs. At the same time, the aluminum alloy has sufficient strength and stability to ensure that the container is not damaged during transportation. Aluminum alloy containers have a longer life, are not easy to rust, and have greater load capacity and elasticity. Aluminum containers are suitable for long-distance sea transportation, have anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties, and can withstand high temperature and high salinity marine environment.

3. Reinforced concrete

Reinforced concrete is also a material widely used in container manufacturing. It is composed of cement, sand, gravel and steel bars, etc., and has high bearing capacity and pressure stability. Reinforced concrete containers can also be used to transport special cargo such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals and dangerous goods, etc. In addition, reinforced concrete containers also have various advantages, such as good insulation, fire resistance, and durability, etc.

In summary, traditional Customized Shipping Containers are made from a variety of materials. Different materials bring different advantages and disadvantages and usage scenarios. Therefore, for different trading companies and types of goods, suitable container materials can be selected according to actual needs. The development trend of modern containers will continue to focus on the innovation and application of materials, bringing new vitality and possibilities to the global shipping industry.
