Latest company news about How to pack the machine and loading into the container

Packing a machine and loading it into a shipping container requires careful planning to ensure safety, prevent damage, and comply with logistics regulations. Below is a step-by-step guide:

 

Step 1: Pre-Packing Preparation
Review Machine Specifications

Check dimensions, weight, and center of gravity.

Identify fragile or sensitive components (e.g., control panels, hydraulic lines).

Choose the Right Container

Standard containers: 20ft (33 m³) or 40ft (67 m³).


Gather Packing Materials

Wooden crates/pallets

Steel straps, shrink wrap

Lifting slings, forklift, or crane (if needed)

 

Step 2: Secure & Protect the Machine

Remove loose parts (e.g., arms, conveyors) and pack separately.

Label all parts and keep screws/nuts in labeled bags.

Protect the Machine

Use foam or bubble wrap for delicate parts.

Secure moving parts (e.g., lock hydraulic arms).

Bolt the machine to a wooden pallet or steel frame.

Ensure even weight distribution.

 

Step 3: Loading into the Container
Position the Container

Place on stable ground, ideally near the machine.

Ensure the container is clean and dry.

Use Proper Lifting Equipment

Forklifts, cranes, or hydraulic jacks for heavy machines.


Load Carefully

Place the heaviest part at the bottom and near the container walls.

Use wooden blocks or dunnage to prevent shifting.

Avoid overhanging parts (check container height).

Secure Inside the Container

Use lashing straps, chains, or load bars to anchor the machine.

 

 

Step 4: Final Checks & Documentation
Inspect for Stability

Check straps and braces for tightness.

Seal & Label the Container

Attach a security seal and note the number.

Mark with "Fragile," "This Side Up," and machine details.

Prepare Shipping Documents

Bill of Lading (B/L), Packing List, Machinery Manuals.

Include photos of the packed machine for insurance.
