<\/a><\/p>\n Whether you are looking to ship goods down the round, to the other side of the country, or even to another country entirely, the intermodal shipping container<\/a> is an excellent way to transport lots of different types of cargo. If you take a look around your home or office, you will most likely be surrounded by many items which have found their way to you through being transported using shipping containers<\/a>.<\/p>\n The list goes on for quite some time, but you get the general idea. When you are shipping items such as computers, household furniture or clothing, the temperature of the shipping container is not so important, as long as the products are protected from the elements.\n
\nWhen you are shipping perishable goods, however, it is critical that the produce is kept within a certain temperature range in order to make sure that it arrives at its destination in good condition, as well as being nice and fresh. This is especially so when you are shipping over long distances, as without a temperature controlled environment, you will find the goods have perished by the time they arrive at their destination.<\/p>\n
