Container Loading Tips

General enterprises are mainly concerned about wrong cargo data, cargo damage and data inconsistency with the customs declaration data during the container loading process, resulting in the customs will not release. Therefore, before loading the container, the consignor, warehouse, and freight forwarder must coordinate well to avoid this situation.

1. Goods with different shapes and different packaging should not be packed together as much as possible;

2. Dust, liquid, moisture, odor and other goods that will leak from the package should not be put together with other goods as much as possible. "Under the last circumstance, it must be separated with canvas, plastic film or other materials." Cheng Qiwei said.

3. Lightweight goods are placed on relatively heavy goods;

4. The goods with weak packaging strength should be placed on the goods with strong packaging strength;

5. Liquid goods and cleaning goods should be placed under other goods as much as possible;

6. Goods with sharp corners or protruding parts should be covered to avoid damaging other goods.

Container loading skills

There are usually three methods for the on-site packing operation of container goods: namely, all human-powered packing, fork-lift truck (forklift) to move into the box, then human-powered stacking and all mechanical packing, such as pallet (pallet) ) The forklift trucks are used for stacking in the boxes.

1. In any case, when the goods are loaded into the container, the weight of the goods contained in the box cannot exceed the maximum load of the container, that is, the total amount of the container minus the weight of the container. Under normal circumstances, the total weight and dead weight will be marked on the door of the container.

2. The unit unit weight of each container is fixed, so when loading the same kind of goods in the box, as long as you know the density of the goods, you can determine whether it is heavy or light. One said that if the unit density of the cargo density is greater than the unit volume of the container is heavy cargo,or it is light cargo. Timely and clearly distinguishing these two different situations is very important for improving packing efficiency.

3. When loading, the load on the bottom of the box must be balanced, and it is particularly strictly prohibited to eccentric the load center to one end.

4. Avoid concentrated loads. "For example, when loading heavy goods such as machinery and equipment, the bottom of the box should be lined with wood and other liner materials to spread its load as much as possible. The safety load per unit area of ​​the bottom surface of a standard container is roughly: 1330x9.8N / m for a 20-foot container and 40 feet. The container is 980x9.8N / m2.

5. Pay attention to the loading and unloading instructions such as "not upside down", "horizontal", and "vertical" on the package when using manual loading. Be sure to use the loading tool correctly, and do not use hand hooks for packing goods. The goods contained in the box should be neatly and tightly packed. To easily bundle and pack fragile goods, use padding or insert plywood between the goods to prevent the goods from moving in the box.

6. When loading pallet cargo, it is necessary to accurately grasp the internal dimensions of the container and the external dimensions of the cargo packaging in order to calculate the number of pieces loaded, so as to minimize the number of abandoned places and multiple loads.

7. When packing with a fork truck, it will be limited by the free lifting height of the machine and the height of the gantry. Therefore, when conditions permit, the forklift can be loaded with two layers at a time, but there must be a certain gap between the top and the bottom. If the conditions do not allow loading two layers at a time, when installing the second layer, considering the free lifting height of the forklift truck and the height that the forklift truck gantry may lift, the gantry lifting height should be the first The height of the first layer of goods minus the free lift height, so that the second layer of goods can be loaded on the third layer of goods on the upper layer.

In addition, generally use a forklift truck with a normal lifting capacity of 2 tons, and its free lifting height is about 1250px. However, there is another type of forklift truck with full free lifting height. As long as the height in the box allows, this machine will not be affected by the lifting height of the gantry, and can easily stack two layers of goods. In addition, it should also be noted that the goods should be covered with padded wood so that the fork can be pulled out smoothly.

Finally, the goods should not be packed naked, at least they must be packed, and they should not be blindly used to save space and cause damage to the goods. General goods will also be packaged. Only large machines such as boilers and building materials will be more troublesome. They must be strapped and tied tightly to prevent loosening. In fact, as long as you are careful, there won't be too many problems.
