PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND
INFO:
An intermodal container
is a large standardized shipping container, designed and built for intermodal
freight transport, meaning these containers can be used across different
modes of transport from ship to rail to truck without
unloading and reloading their cargo. Corrugating the sheet metal used
for the sides and roof contributes significantly to the containers
rigidity and stacking strength, just like in corrugated iron or in cardboard
boxes. International containers have castings with openings for twistlock
fasteners 40 apart on the eight corners, to allow gripping the
box from above, below, or the side, and they can be stacked up to ten
units high for storage.
