Advantages of Container Transport Trailer
Four Advantages
1. It simplifies the loading and unloading operation: when the container is transshipped, it only needs to be replaced, and does not need to be reversed. It greatly simplifies the loading and unloading operation and facilitates the mechanization of loading and unloading. The replacement of containers usually takes only a few minutes, which shortens the waiting time for loading and unloading, improves labor productivity and speeds up the turnover of goods and transport tools.
2. It saves packaging costs: because the goods are directly packed in containers, there is no need to reverse them. Therefore, it is not necessary to pack the goods separately, which saves the cost of packing.
3. It reduces cargo damage and shortage: throughout the transport process, the container itself is a strong packaging. Only the initial and final transportation can open the container to load and unload the cargo. The cargo of the intermediate link container does not need to be reversed, so the cargo is not easy to be damaged and lost. Container movable transportation can reduce the damage and difference caused by theft, dampness, pollution, etc. It is welcomed by cargo owners and shipping companies. Moreover, because of the reduction of the difference rate of cargo damage, it reduces the waste of social wealth and has great social benefits.
4. Reduce the whole transportation cost: Because container handling is basically not affected by bad weather, the unproductive berthing time of ships is shortened. Because of the high efficiency of loading and unloading and the shorter time of loading and unloading, for shipping companies, it can improve the navigation rate and reduce the cost of shipping. For ports, it can improve berth capacity, thereby increasing throughput and revenue.
Transport trailer advantages
The traditional transportation mode has many shortcomings, such as many loading and unloading links, high labor intensity, low loading and unloading efficiency, Slow Ship turnover and so on. Container transport trailer has completely changed this situation.
1. Ordinary cargo ships generally load and unload about 35 tons per hour, while container loading and unloading can reach about 400 tons per hour, which greatly improves the efficiency of loading and unloading. At the same time, due to the high degree of mechanization of container handling, the number of loading and unloading workers per team is very small, and the average productivity of each worker is greatly improved.
2. Because of the high efficiency of container handling, the small impact of climate and the greatly shortened stay time of ships in port, the voyage time of ships is shortened, the turnover of ships is speeded up, the voyage rate is greatly increased, and the production efficiency of ships is improved accordingly, thus the shipping capacity is improved. Without increasing the number of ships, more traffic can be accomplished and the revenue of shipping companies can be increased, which leads to high efficiency and efficiency.
Container transport trailer is also a highly capital-intensive industry, and the investment in ports is considerable. The wharf facilities of special container berths include wharf shoreline and frontier, cargo yard, freight station, maintenance workshop, control tower, portal, and container handling machinery, which is costly.
