Container transport vehicle. A container transport vehicle is a mode of transportation that involves loading a variety of goods with different shapes and sizes into standardized containers before transport, facilitating seamless intermodal transport by sea, land, and air. It enables mechanized and standardized loading, unloading, and transportation, representing a significant reform over traditional transport methods and an essential component of modern transportation. Introduction to container transport: Container transport refers to a new, highly efficient, and cost-effective transportation method that uses large containers as carriers to assemble goods into standardized units. This allows the use of large-scale loading and unloading machinery and heavy-duty transport vehicles in modern logistics, facilitating the completion of loading, unloading, and transportation tasks, thereby better achieving "door-to-door" delivery of goods. Advantages of container transport: Ensures the safety of goods during transportation. Container transport significantly reduces the number of manual loading and unloading operations compared to traditional methods, thereby minimizing the risk of damage, moisture, loss, and other freight accidents caused by human or natural factors, leading to reduced economic losses.
