A shipping container is a container with strength suitable to withstand shipment, storage, and handling. Shipping containers range from large reusable steel boxes used for intermodal shipments to the ubiquitous corrugated boxes. In the context of international shipping trade, "container" or "shipping container" is virtually synonymous with "(standard) intermodal freight container" (a container designed to be moved from one mode of transport to another without unloading and reloading).
Container ships are cargo ships that carry all of their load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a technique called containerization. They are a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport and now carry most seagoing non-bulk cargo. Container ship capacity is measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). Typical loads are a mix of 20-foot and 40-foot (2-TEU) ISO-standard containers, with the latter predominant.
Containerization is a system of intermodal freight transport using intermodal containers (also called shipping containers and ISO containers) made of weathering steel. The containers have standardized dimensions. They can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another—container ships, rail transport flatcars, and semi-trailer trucks—without being opened.

The basic difference between a Flat-bed and a step deck is in the construction and design. A Flat-bed is a platform trailer with a flat surface, while a step deck is similar but has a drop-down deck at the front. This allows for the trailer to be lower to the ground, improving access for loading and unloading, and better fuel economy.

It has an extremely low deck height, allowing for high clearance when traveling underneath bridges and overpasses.

Finally, a gooseneck is a type of trailer used to transport heavy loads. It is similar to a lowboy, but has a gooseneck hitch that allows for greater maneuverability. Gooseneck trailers can also be used to haul oversized loads.
