Proper use of containers

When using containers, please pay attention to the following points:

1. Commodity packaging

Before loading, it is necessary to ensure that the goods have been properly packed. Fragile goods should be specially packed and marked. For liquids and chemicals, relevant safety regulations must be observed.

2. Placement of goods

The goods should be filled with containers as much as possible to reduce the movement and damage of the goods during transportation. At the same time, the center of gravity of the goods should be as close as possible to the center line of the container to ensure the stability of the goods.

3. Fixation of containers

After loading, the goods must be fixed in the container with ropes, boards or other fixing devices to prevent the goods from moving and being damaged during transportation. At the same time, the container itself must also be fixed on the transport vehicle or ship to ensure transport safety.

4. Cleaning of containers

After the goods are unloaded, the containers must be cleaned and disinfected to prevent the residual dirt and bacteria from polluting the next batch of goods.
