Mobile House Container Transportation
Mobile house container transportation requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as folding rate, transport vehicles, transport categories, handling machinery, and transportation costs.
Folding rate directly affects transportation efficiency: Foldable containers, with their portability and low cost, have become a popular choice for emergency support and short-term turnover scenarios. The folded volumes of products from different companies vary. For example, the folded volume of Suzhou Zhongnan's product is only 1/5 of its expanded state, allowing a single truck to carry 20 sets at once; CIMC's foldable container has a folded volume of 1/4 of its expanded state, with a single truck carrying 16 sets; Yazhi's foldable container has a folded volume of 1/5.5 of its expanded state, with a single truck carrying 18 sets; and Shengda's foldable container has a folded volume of 1/4.5 of its expanded state, with a single truck carrying 15 sets. The higher the folding rate, the more products can be loaded per trip, resulting in lower transportation costs.
Transport vehicles need to be compatible with container requirements: Transport vehicles should be in good technical condition, equipped with twist-lock devices, compatible with the loaded containers, and able to meet the total mass requirements of the containers being transported. Typically, single-vehicle configurations or combinations of tractors and semi-trailers are used. Semi-trailers are classified into frame-type, flatbed-type, and self-loading and unloading types.
Transport categories affect transport arrangements: Container truck transportation is divided into ordinary container and special container transportation based on the nature of the goods loaded in the containers. Special containers include dangerous goods containers, refrigerated and insulated containers, tank containers, etc. Based on the container type and trade transportation contracts, it is further divided into international container and domestic container truck transportation.
Site operation personnel need to be equipped with professional handling machinery: Specialized handling machinery for container mobile houses and loading and unloading machinery should be provided. The handling machinery should have dedicated container lifting devices, and the rated lifting capacity should meet the total mass requirements of the containers.
Transportation costs need to be reasonably controlled: Taking the transportation from a Suzhou factory to an emergency rescue site in Wuhu, Anhui, as an example, with a one-way distance of approximately 300 kilometers and a single transportation cost of 3000 yuan, the transportation cost per set varies among different companies' products due to differences in loading capacity. For example, the transportation cost per set for Suzhou Zhongnan is 150 yuan, for CIMC it is 187.5 yuan, for Yazhi it is 166.7 yuan, and for Shengda it is 200 yuan.
