In the transportation process, radioactive substances may leak, causing radiation hazards to the transport personnel and the surrounding environment. For example, although some simple lead tanks can block radiation to a certain extent, for high-activity F18 radioactive drugs, their protection ability often cannot meet the safety requirements.

The weight of the transport container is large, and manual handling is difficult, especially in the case of frequent loading and unloading, which brings a large physical burden to the operators.
