Intermodal Container

An intermodal container is a large, standardized box used to transport goods efficiently across different modes of transportation—such as ships, trains, and trucks—without unpacking. Made of durable materials like steel or aluminum, these containers can be easily transferred between vehicles using specialized equipment. Their standardized size, typically 20 or 40 feet long, allows for seamless stacking and handling, reducing shipping time and costs. Intermodal containers ensure goods are protected during transit and facilitate global trade by simplifying the movement of large quantities of products across various transportation networks.
