PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
An intermodal container, often called a shipping container, is a large
standardized shipping container, designed and built for intermodal freight
transport. These containers can be used across different modes of
transport – from ship to rail to truck – without unloading and reloading their
cargo. Intermodal containers are primarily used to store and transport
materials and products efficiently and securely in the global containerized
intermodal freight transport system.
Container chassis, also called intermodal chassis, is a type of semi-trailer
designed to securely carry an intermodal container. Chassis are used by
truckers to deliver containers between ports, rail-yards, container depots,
and shipper facilities.
