At present, the containerization technology of military materials has been widely used in foreign troops, and container transportation has become more and more important in military materials transportation, which has achieved good military and economic benefits. For example, more than half of Russian military materials are transported in containers; The US military uses containers to transport more than 80% of materials. During the Iraq war, in order to transport hundreds of tons of materials from local and military bases to the Gulf, the US military rented dozens of civilian container ships to load materials and equipment, and used a huge fleet of 42 reserve ships all over the world. In the US-Iraq war, a large part of the US military's combat equipment and logistics materials were transported by containers. Our military system has also begun to study the problem of unitization of military materials, and a small number of containers are used for military transportation. For example, Chengdu Military Region has developed containers suitable for air transport in 1983, trying to transport food and clothing. 1 ton, basically eliminating the problem of serious material loss on the way to Tibet; The General Logistics Department of Qinghai-Tibet Military Station also designed and manufactured glass fittings by itself, which greatly reduced the glass breakage rate. Automobile equipment is distributed in the comprehensive warehouse directly under the naval logistics, and transported by railway container from 1987. Most of the materials supplied by the navy in Hainan Island are transported in containers. The ordnance system studies the transportation of ammunition in containers. However, due to the constraints of national conditions and military situation, our army's material containerization is still in the exploratory stage, and the work of material containerization is not popular enough, and the transformation from single-piece packaging to pallet unitization and overall supporting capacity of container shipment has not yet been realized. There are still some problems. The specific performance is: 1, and the unitized container is not completely standardized, generalized and serialized. The specifications and dimensions of combined containers directly affect the loading efficiency of transportation tools and equipment. At present, not only the variety and quantity of unitized containers used by our army are few, but also the loading level and switching degree of appliances and containers are far from meeting the needs. In order to improve the loading efficiency of various means of transport and the connection degree between various appliances, the standardization and serialization of container appliances should be realized to make them universal. 2. Loading and unloading equipment, transportation routes and means of transportation are not enough. A prominent feature of container transportation is the realization of mechanized loading and unloading. This requires the corresponding port stations, warehouses and transportation departments to have corresponding lifting and loading machinery to cooperate with them. At present, the mechanization of our military warehouse is not high, and it lacks supporting conditions. 3. The flow direction of containers and pallets and the organization of returns are unreasonable. In order to improve the utilization rate of containerized complete sets of equipment, we must pay attention to the reasonable flow direction of containerized complete sets of equipment, organize and schedule the return resources, and avoid the detention of containerized equipment and the return of empty containers. Container consigning and receiving units should package, unpack and return empty containers in time, and military transportation management agencies should effectively manage all container transportation equipment to ensure rapid connection, avoid detention and reduce emptying. 4. The application of bar code technology and information technology is not popular enough. Container transportation management is a dynamic form, with a wide range of containers and many users, involving all arms and services of the whole army and a large amount of information. In management, bar code technology, global positioning system (GPS) technology and radio frequency technology must be adopted to realize the dynamic tracking of boxes. Attach importance to the development and application of advanced information technology, and realize management modernization with the help of computer technology, information technology and communication technology. Second, the main ways of military materials containerization. Common containerized instruments for military materials mainly include pallets, container bags and containers. When materials are containerized, different container methods are adopted according to the different characteristics of military materials, as follows: 1. For military materials, when pallets are used for container loading, the required space area is 800×1000,800×. Height1100-2200; The weight is 500-2000 kg, of which plastic flat plate1000kg; The loading mode is stacked mode or bundled mode. Anyone who meets the above restrictions, such as when storing and transporting ammunition, can use pallet containers with forklifts or lifting equipment. 2. As a container, the container bag also has some constraints. For granular and powdery materials with a volume of 1 m3 and a weight of 0.5-2 tons, container bags can be used for container loading. Such as food, clothes, etc. You can use container bags. 3. The requirements for container assembly are as follows: the length is 20, 30 or 40 feet, and the weight is 5, 10, 20 or 30 tons. International trade divides articles into 56 categories, of which 32 categories are the most suitable for container transportation. According to the statistics of the relevant departments of our army, the vast majority of logistics materials are suitable for military container storage and transportation, whether in peacetime or wartime. General materials (including supplies, bedding, camping equipment, daily necessities, etc.). ) can be stored and transported in containers according to 100%; Conventional ammunition can also be stored and transported in containers100%; Most maintenance equipment can also be stored and transported in containers. Of course, in the process of assembling military materials, in addition to considering the constraints of different containers, the following problems need to be solved: first, establish a technical system for container logistics operation, that is, input; Secondly, it is necessary to effectively manage pallets, container bags and containers, that is, to handle the transportation of various container appliances; Third, we should mark all kinds of goods; Finally, the visualization of the material transportation system is realized. Even if the information of the container unit is digitized, the advanced tracking technology is adopted to realize the visualization of materials and the dynamic tracking of the container unit, so that it can circulate in time and run normally. Iii. Suggestions on the containerization of our military materials 1, and the standard of using containerized complete sets of appliances. Our army's large-scale material transportation mainly uses civilian containers to serve the army, so most container size standards can adopt national standards. In practice, the national standard IC container is selected as the basic container type in the military, and its standard refers to GB/T1413-1998 "Container Classification, Dimensions and Rated Quality". A small number of military containers used for storing and transporting special materials, such as ammunition containers, refer to the national military standard Military Containers: Types, Dimensions and Rated Mass. The pallet adopts the standard GB/T2934- 1996 "General Flat Pallets for Intermodal Transport: Main Dimensions and Tolerances". The outline dimension series of general flat pallet for intermodal transport stipulates that two dimensions are preferred, namely TP800× 1200, TP 1000× 1200 (mm), and can also be selected. Container bags can adopt the national standard 2000 version of container bags. 2. Loading and unloading equipment, transportation lines and means of transport matching the container transportation mode. Usually, military containers can be stored and transported by relying on and using civil loading and unloading facilities, and forklifts can be used when loading and unloading pallets in rear warehouses or places with yards. When loading and unloading container goods, trucks are often required to be equipped with lifting equipment. 25% of intermediate mechanical power vehicles need to be equipped with slings. In wartime, in order to adapt to the military container transportation in the field environment, some special equipment for the army is needed. For example, in order to speed up the supply of wartime materials, containers can be directly transported to frontline combat troops by using the full-load dump trucks used in the Gulf War. The integrated self-loading and unloading supply vehicle developed by Military Transportation College can be used for containerized transportation of ammunition, oil and other materials and equipment between field warehouses and rear bases, and can also provide a flexible carrier platform for special equipment. In wartime, a self-loading and unloading transportation system consisting of cars, special trailers and supporting pallets can quickly open field ammunition depots and field gas stations. In addition, the unloading of sea containers after arrival on land and in field battles is a weak link in container transportation. Therefore, the forklift series developed by the US military can be adopted. For example, a 22.7-ton front-loaded container cross-country forklift truck is used to load and unload large containers of 20-40 feet; 6.8-ton off-road forklift can load and unload "three in one" and small boxes in the field; 1.8 ton off-road forklift can enter the container for loading and unloading ammunition and other operations.
