Today, let's learn the skills and precautions of container loading.

  ▲ Precautions for mixed loading  

In general, when exporting, the main concerns of enterprises in the loading process are cargo data error, cargo damage and data inconsistent with customs declaration data, which will lead to the customs will not release. Therefore, before loading the container, the shipper, warehouse, freight forwarder must coordinate carefully to avoid this situation.

1. Goods with different shapes and packages should not be packed together as far as possible;

2, from the packaging will ooze dust, liquid, moisture, odor and other goods, as far as possible do not put together with other goods. "If you have to, use canvas, plastic sheeting or other materials.

3. Light goods are placed on top of relatively heavy goods;

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

5. Liquid goods and clean goods should be placed under other goods as far as possible;

6. Goods 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 container goods: manual packing, forklift truck (forklift) moving into the box, manual stacking and mechanical packing, such as pallet (pallet) goods stacked in the box with forklift truck.

1. In any case, when the goods are loaded into the container, the weight of the goods in the box shall not exceed the maximum loading capacity of the container, that is, the total amount of containers minus the weight of the container. Generally, the total weight and dead weight will be marked on the door of the container.

2. The 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 goods, you can determine whether it is heavy goods or light goods. If the cargo density is greater than the unit weight of the box is heavy cargo, otherwise it is light cargo. It is important to distinguish these two different cases timely and clearly to improve the efficiency of packing.

3. When loading, the load at the bottom of the box should be balanced, especially the load center of gravity should be strictly prohibited at one end.

4. Avoid concentrated load. "If loading heavy goods such as mechanical equipment, the bottom of the box should be covered with wood and other liner materials, as far as possible to disperse its load. The average safe load per unit area on the bottom of a standard container is approximately 1330x9.8N/m for a 20-foot container and 980x9.8N/m2 for a 40-foot container.
