Specific purpose containers are containers that are designed and built for a specific type of cargo. They can be different shapes and sizes, and they are often custom-made to meet the needs of the cargo they are intended to transport. For example, containers may be adapted for the transport of bulk cargo, such as grain or coal, by adding extra ventilation or reinforcement to the walls of the container. Similarly, containers may be adapted for the transport of dangerous goods, such as chemicals or explosives, by adding extra padding or safety features to the container. Additionally, containers may be adapted for the transport of garments on hangers by adding a hanging rail or other features to support the clothes. Overall, specific purpose containers are designed to provide the optimal conditions for the safe and efficient transportation of a particular type of cargo.
