Precautions for container loading

1. In any case, when the cargo is packed in a container, the weight of the cargo in the container cannot exceed the maximum loading capacity of the container, that is, 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 container door.

2. The unit weight of each container is fixed, so when loading the same kind of cargo in the container, as long as the density of the cargo is known, it can be determined whether it is heavy or light.

3. When loading, the load on the bottom of the box should be balanced. In particular, it is strictly forbidden that the center of gravity of the load is biased at one end.

4. Avoid concentrated loads. "When loading heavy goods such as machinery and equipment, the bottom of the box should be lined with padding materials such as wooden boards to spread its load as much as possible.

5. When using manual loading, pay attention to whether there are loading and unloading instructions such as "not upside down", "flat", "vertical". Be sure to use the loading tools correctly. Hand hooks are not allowed for packed goods.

6. When loading pallets, it is necessary to accurately grasp the internal dimensions of the container and the external dimensions of the cargo package in order to calculate the number of pieces to be loaded in order to minimize the number of discarded locations and load more cargo.

7. When using a fork-lift truck to pack a box, it will be restricted by the free lifting height of the machine and the height of the mast. Therefore, if conditions permit, the forklift truck can load two layers at a time, but there must be a certain gap between the top and bottom. In addition, care should be taken under the cargo to ensure that the forks can be pulled out smoothly.

8. It is best not to pack the goods naked, at least they must be packed, and do not blindly damage the goods in order to save space. General goods are also packed. Only large machines such as boilers and building materials are more troublesome. They must be bundled and tightened to prevent loosening.
