Momentous Facts and the Enormous Savings on Industrial Plastic Storage Containers

Momentous Facts and the Enormous Savings on Industrial Plastic Storage Containers

How big is ‘big’? There are some absolutely momentous and enormous things out there, and we are going to share some absolutely gigantic things that involve storage, crates and plastics. Take for instance these interesting facts about Cargo transport and heavy lifting.

· China’s Taishan (named after the tallest mountain in the Shandong Province) is the world’s strongest crane, with a one-time certified lift weigh of 20,133 Metric tons (44,385,654.726lbs). (CIMC-Raffles)

· The largest cargo vessel is the Emma Maersk, of Denmark. It has a 207 foot beam (meaning deck width) and is 1,303 feet long. Its cargo capacity is a whopping 15,000 twenty-foot long cargo containers! (Maersk)

· The largest cargo aircraft in the world is the Antonov AN-225 “Mriya”, with a wingspan of 88 meters, and a cargo capacity of 225 metric tons (more than 496,000 pounds!)(Military)

Of course, when one talks about our usual plastic storage boxes and crates, we don’t think in those kinds of monumental numbers. What we look for instead are how resilient and tough the containers are, how difficult it for them to be damages, and how effective they are at keeping our cargo safe, dry, and accessible.

SO, let’s look at some other interesting pieces of information that may just as easily boggle the mind.

· The first plastic, Parkesine, was created before the end of the US Civil War, 1862. (about.com)

· World War II saw the first production uses of plastics in production (Material Designs)

· Kevlar, used the world over for bullet-proof applications was developed as far back as 1965, by Dupont (Material Designs)

The world has been awash in plastics for better than a century and a half, and there seems to be no end to the innovations and uses for the stuff.

Whether you are looking for a new car – in some cases nearly every component is a form of plastic or another – or about to have a joint replacement surgery – many of the replacement parts, if you will, are also made of plastic, your life is completely immersed in the cellulose-derivative material.

It doesn't take a chemist or a biologist to realize that there are ways in which the petroleum-based plastics business has improved our lives, given us new hope, and new ways to accomplish the seemingly impossible. More portability and preservation means greater range of travel, lower waste and slower decay. Our world is a brighter, lighter, more accessible place because of the plastics industry.

So the next time you go to pull your tools from your plastic storage boxes, or move your materiel from location to location in an industrial Plastic Storage container, don’t neglect to appreciate the great savings benefits, in weight, resilience, and worth of the containers themselves. They make the difference between our wonderful world of adventure and action, and a far heavier, slower, and more tedious world without them.
