Description
Prefabricated Container
Base Material
-
Substrate: Steel (usually for structural integrity and durability)
-
Type: Shipping container or prefabricated structure
Properties:
-
Durability: Made from high-strength steel, prefabricated containers are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy loads.
-
Versatility: Ideal for storage, transport, and can be modified for use as housing, offices, or other portable structures.
-
Security: The steel construction provides a secure environment for goods or people, with the ability to lock doors and windows.
Manufacturing Process
-
Frame Construction: The container’s steel frame is built using high-strength steel to ensure it can handle external forces during transportation.
-
Panel Installation: Steel panels are welded or bolted to the frame to form the walls, floor, and roof.
-
Door Fitting: Heavy-duty doors are installed for security and ease of access.
-
Finishing: The container may be painted, coated, or treated to resist corrosion, depending on the intended use (e.g., marine, industrial).
-
Internal Configuration (Optional): Some containers may be fitted with internal partitions, shelves, or other modifications to suit specific uses.
