Do you know so many skills of container loading?

Mixed note
When general enterprises export, the main concern in the process of loading containers is that the data of the goods are wrong, the damage of the goods and the data do not conform to the customs declaration data, which leads to the customs not releasing. Therefore, before loading the container, the consignor, the warehouse, and the freight forwarder must be coordinated and thoughtful to avoid this situation.
1Goods of different shapes and different packages should not be packed together as much as possible;
2Goods that will exude dust, liquid, moisture, odor, etc. from the packaging should not be placed together with other goods as much as possible.“As a last resort, it is necessary to use canvas, plastic film or other materials to separate.”Cheng Qiwei said.
3Light weight goods are placed on relatively heavy goods;
4The goods with weak packaging strength should be placed on the goods with strong packaging strength;
5Liquid goods and cleaning goods should be placed under other goods as far as possible;
6Goods with sharp corners or protruding parts shall be covered to avoid damage to other goods.

Container loading skills
There are usually three methods for on-site packing of containerized goods: all manual packing, moving into the box with a fork truck (forklift truck), and then stacking with manpower and all mechanical packing, such as pallets (pallets) in the box with a fork truck.
1In any case, the weight of the goods in the container shall not exceed the maximum load of the container, I .e. the total amount of the container minus the weight of the container. Under normal circumstances, the total weight and self-weight will be marked on the door of the container.
2The unit weight of each container is certain, 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. Cheng Qiwei said that if the density of the goods is greater than the unit bulk density of the box, it is heavy goods, otherwise it is light goods. Timely and clear distinction between these two different situations is very important to improve the efficiency of packing.
3When loading, balance the load on the bottom of the box, especially strictly prohibit the load center of gravity at one end.
4Avoid concentrated load.“For example, when loading heavy goods such as machinery and equipment, the bottom of the box should be paved with wood and other liner materials to disperse the load as much as possible. The average safety load per unit area on the bottom of a standard container is roughly:20ft container is1330x9.8N/m,40ft container is980x9.8N/m2.
5When using manpower to load goods, pay attention to whether there is any on the packaging.“Do not invert”,“Lit flat”,“vertical”Such as loading and unloading instructions. Be sure to use the loading tools correctly, and do not use hand hooks for bundling goods. The goods in the box shall be neatly loaded and tightly stacked. For fragile goods that are easy to unbundle and pack, use padding or insert plywood between the goods to prevent the goods from moving in the box.
6When loading pallet goods, it is necessary to accurately grasp the internal dimensions of the container and the external dimensions of the goods packaging, so as to calculate the number of loaded pieces, so as to achieve the purpose of minimizing the abandonment and loading more goods.
7When the forklift truck is used for packing, it will be limited by the free lifting height of the machine and the height of the gantry. Therefore, when conditions permit, the forklift box can be loaded with two layers at a time, but there must be a certain gap between the top and bottom. If the conditions do not allow loading two layers at a time, when loading the second layer, considering the free lifting height of the fork truck and the possible lifting height of the fork truck gantry, the lifting height of the gantry should be the first layer of goods minus the free lifting height, so that the second layer of goods can be loaded on the upper layer of the third layer of goods.
In addition, the general use of ordinary lifting weight is2Tons of fork-lift trucks with a free lifting height1250pxLeft and right. However, there is also a fork-type loading and unloading truck with full free lifting height. As long as the height in the box allows, this machine is not 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 skid wood, so that the fork can be pulled out smoothly.
Finally, the goods are best not to be naked, at least to have packaging, do not blindly to save space and lead to damage to the goods. General goods will also have packaging, only such as large machines such as boilers, building materials, etc. will be more troublesome, must be tied, tied to prevent loosening. In fact, as long as you are careful and serious, there will not be too many problems.
