分步裝載指南
裝載前的規劃
在打開貨櫃門之前，請先制定裝載計劃。列出所有貨物項目、尺寸、重量及可堆疊性。計算總CBM和總重量，確認貨物是否適合20呎（33 CBM）或40呎（68 CBM）的容量。按重量等級分組貨物——重型貨物必須放置在靠近前牆的地板上。
檢查貨櫃
裝載前，檢查貨櫃是否有結構損壞、孔洞、進水或異味。查看地板狀況——鬆軟處可能表示腐爛或進水損壞。檢查門封和鎖桿是否運作順暢。關上門後用燈光照射內部，尋找任何漏光處以發現孔洞。裝載前用照片記錄任何損壞。
先裝載最重的貨物，靠近前端
將最重的貨物放置在貨櫃前端（遠離門的一側）的地板上。這可降低重心並使其前移，對海運穩定性至關重要。將重量均勻分佈在地板左右兩側。標準乾貨櫃的地板最大承重通常為3,000 kg/m²——需為密集貨物計算此數值。
層疊堆疊並互鎖
將貨物以穩定的互鎖層疊方式堆疊，如磚牆結構——切勿直疊柱狀堆疊。每層堆疊前應保持平整。檢查所有紙箱和棧板的製造商堆疊額定值。多數瓦楞紙箱根據濕度可堆疊5-8層。在2.39公尺的內部高度下，通常可堆疊一層標準棧板（裝載後高度1.2-1.5公尺）。
填充空隙以防止貨物移動
運輸過程中貨物移動導致80%的貨櫃損壞索賠。使用充氣袋、填充袋、泡沫塊或紙板填充所有水平間隙。目標是零移動——貨物在任何方向上不應滑動超過幾厘米。在貨物頂部與貨櫃頂部之間使用垂直空隙填充物以防止傾倒。
固定並記錄
裝載完成後，將捆綁帶固定在貨櫃的捆綁環上，使用角保護器防止帶子損壞，並在門端安裝載貨橫桿。在封箱前從多個角度拍攝最終裝載照片。記錄實際裝載重量以符合VGM規定——這在船舶裝載前是法律要求。應用承運商封條並保留裝載照片以保護索賠權利。
Weight distribution rules
40/60 前後比例分配
將貨物分佈，使前半部負載重量約佔40%，後半部（門側）佔60%。此舉可在起重機透過角配件吊起時保持貨櫃平衡。
左右均勻分配
重量必須左右均勻分佈。若貨櫃明顯偏重一側，起重機作業時可能翻倒，並於船上繫固失效。
重心低
重物務必置於地板上。切勿將重物置於輕物之上。重心過高會增加船隻在惡劣天氣中搖晃時的翻倒風險。
地板載重限制
標準貨櫃地板額定載重約為3,000公斤/平方公尺。若您的貨物密度極高（如石材、機械），請計算貨物是否超出接觸面積的地板額定值。必要時以墊板分散載重。
Loading Patterns Library
Optimize your container space with proven loading patterns for different cargo types
Column Stack Pattern
A simple and straightforward loading pattern with boxes stacked in vertical columns. Ideal for uniform cartons with good stacking strength.
Best For
- • Uniform, rigid cartons
- • Boxes with good stacking strength
- • When load stability is a priority
Efficiency
Pro Tips
- • Ensure columns are aligned vertically to maximize weight-bearing capacity of boxes
- • For added stability, consider plastic wrapping each column or adding corner protectors
- • Leave minimal gaps between columns to prevent shifting during transport
Interlocking Pattern
An advanced loading pattern where each layer alternates orientation, creating a more stable structure. This "brick-like" arrangement distributes weight more evenly and prevents collapse.
Best For
- • Cartons with moderate stacking strength
- • Medium to long distance shipping
- • When preventing collapse is critical
Efficiency
Pro Tips
- • Alternate the orientation of each layer by 90 degrees for maximum stability
- • Ensure boxes can support this load pattern - weaker boxes may crush despite interlocking
- • Creates better resistance against shifting during transit, reducing damage risk
Pinwheel Pattern
An efficient pattern where boxes are arranged in alternating orientations within the same layer, creating a pinwheel-like appearance. This maximizes space utilization and provides excellent stability.
Best For
- • Rectangular boxes with non-square dimensions
- • When maximum space utilization is needed
- • Shipments requiring both stability and efficiency
Efficiency
Pro Tips
- • Works best when box length is roughly twice its width (2:1 ratio)
- • Can improve stability and prevent shifting compared to simple stacking
- • For heavier goods, limit stack height and consider layer separation with slip sheets
Cargo Securing Techniques
Proper cargo securing is essential for safe and damage-free transport. Learn best practices for different cargo types and conditions.
Lashing & Tie-Down Techniques
Proper cargo lashing prevents movement during transport, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring safe delivery. Container ships can experience significant forces during transit, making secure cargo essential.
Understanding Lashing Points
Standard shipping containers come equipped with built-in lashing points in the floor, walls, and ceiling. These anchor points are designed to secure cargo with straps, ropes, or chains.
- • Floor lashing points can typically handle 2,000-5,000 kg of load
- • Wall and ceiling points usually have lower capacity (1,000-1,500 kg)
- • Always check the specific lashing point capacity in your container documentation
Effective Lashing Techniques
Diagonal Lashing
Straps run diagonally from the cargo to the lashing points, creating tension that prevents movement in multiple directions.
Loop Lashing
Straps form loops around the cargo and attach to lashing points on the same side, providing lateral stability.
Cross Lashing
Straps cross over the cargo in an X pattern, providing excellent stability against both lateral and longitudinal forces.
Direct Lashing
Straps connect directly from the cargo to the nearest lashing point, offering simple but effective restraint.
Pro Tips
- • Always use lashing points on opposite sides to create balanced tension
- • Check strap tension periodically during loading to account for settling
- • Use edge protectors where straps contact cargo edges to prevent damage
- • For heavy cargo, combine multiple lashing methods for redundancy
Essential Tie-Down Equipment
Lashing Straps
- • Breaking strength: 2,500-10,000 kg
- • Available in various lengths
- • Typically made of polyester
Tensioners & Ratchets
- • Working load limit: 500-5,000 kg
- • Look for smooth ratchet operation
- • Choose appropriate size for strap
Hooks & End Fittings
- • Claw hooks for lashing points
- • J-hooks for various attachments
- • Safety latches prevent disengagement
