Container House Carriage Transportation
The transportation of container houses and carriages requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as the volume in the folded state, loading capacity, transportation costs, storage costs, and the adaptability of transportation tools.
Volume in Folded State and Loading Capacity
The folded volumes of folding containers produced by different companies vary, directly affecting the loading capacity of a single truck. For example, the folding container from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. has a folded volume that is only 1/5 of its expanded state, allowing a single 13-meter standard freight truck to load 20 sets of products at once. The folding container from CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd. has a folded volume that is 1/4 of its expanded state, with a single truck loading 16 sets. The folding container from Yazhi Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. has a folded volume that is 1/5.5 of its expanded state, with a single truck loading 18 sets. The folding container from Shengda Group Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. has a folded volume that is 1/4.5 of its expanded state, with a single truck loading 15 sets. The smaller the folded volume, the more products can be loaded in a single transportation, resulting in higher transportation efficiency.
Transportation Costs
Transportation costs are one of the core considerations in the transportation of container houses and carriages. Taking the transportation from a factory in Suzhou to an emergency rescue site in Wuhu, Anhui (a one-way distance of approximately 300 kilometers) as an example, with a single transportation cost of 3,000 yuan, the per-set transportation cost for Suzhou Zhongnan is 150 yuan, for CIMC is 187.5 yuan, for Yazhi is 166.7 yuan, and for Shengda is 200 yuan. If 100 sets of products are transported in a single batch, Suzhou Zhongnan can save transportation costs ranging from 3,750 yuan to 5,000 yuan. For emergency projects that require bulk and rapid deployment, choosing products with a small folded volume and high loading capacity can significantly reduce transportation costs and improve rescue efficiency.
Storage Costs
The gap in long-term storage space costs is also a factor that cannot be ignored. The folding container from Suzhou Zhongnan occupies only 20% of the space in its expanded state in a warehouse, allowing 80 sets of folding containers to be stored in a 100㎡ standard warehouse. The product from CIMC requires 25% of the space, with only 64 sets fitting in a 100㎡ warehouse. The product from Yazhi occupies approximately 18% of the space, allowing 70 sets to be stored. The product from Shengda occupies 22% of the space, allowing 60 sets to be stored. For institutions that need to stockpile emergency supplies, choosing folding containers that occupy less space can reduce storage costs.
Adaptability of Transportation Tools
Transporting container houses and carriages requires selecting appropriate transportation tools based on the product's size and weight. For example, a 40-foot container flatbed semi-trailer can be used for port logistics skeleton transportation, while a heavy-duty container flatbed trailer is suitable for transporting heavy container houses and carriages. Choosing appropriate transportation tools ensures the safety and economy of the transportation process.
