The principle of effective bundling and reinforcement between cargo and flat- rack containers is to prevent the cargo from overturning to both sides of the flat-rack container and sliding to both ends (baffles) during loading, unloading and navigation, thereby causing damage to the cargo.
It is prohibited to stand the rack of the flat-rack cabinet upright at one end and down at the other end. The rack at both ends must be upright or down at the same time.
The goods must be placed evenly on the wooden floor of the flat-rack container according to their weight. Do not place weight on one end. Use bundling and wooden wedges to prevent the goods from overturning and sliding longitudinally on both sides. For large goods with a high center of gravity, the center of gravity must be lowered.
Sleepers need to be placed between the goods and the floor of the flat-rack container to increase the friction coefficient. Fixing racks need to be set up between the goods and the rack at both ends of the flat-rack container to prevent longitudinal movement of the goods.
It is prohibited for goods and reinforcement tools to block the four corners casting of the flat rack container, that is, the hanging points. When the goods are over-wide, the distance between the over-wide part of the goods and the front and rear ends of the flat rack container shall not be less than 30 cm, otherwise it will be restricted. Due to the influence of the guide grooves in the ship's cabin, it can only be loaded on the deck.
The load of each binding hook on both sides of the flat-rack container is generally 5 tons. Avoid bundling concentrated on a certain hook point.
It is prohibited to use iron nails to nail sleepers or wooden wedges into the wooden floor of the flat-rack container to avoid damage to the flat-rack container and reduce its load-bearing strength.
The steel cable or nylon binding tape used for binding must be kept fully tensioned, the steel cable must be equipped with a turnbuckle, and the nylon binding tape must be equipped with an anti-reversal ratchet fastener.
Protective pads should be added to the edge contact points between the steel cables or nylon strapping and the cargo. The padding layer should be made of plastic/rubber materials (paper materials are prohibited). The binding ropes of metal strip steel coil cargoes should be in contact with the cargo. The edge contact points also need to be covered with plastic tubes as protective pads.
For platform containers, which include flat-rack container with the baffles at both ends lowered, since the lifting points are obstructed by the cell guide in the ship's cabin, in principle, they can only be loaded on the ship deck.
There are still many preliminary operations that need to be mastered in advance regarding the transportation of flat rack containers or BB. If import and export manufacturers have needs in this regard, you can contact us directly for consultation. The pic: Mr.Vincent Pon
