Container Handling Suggestions

A "loaded container" by description is a container other than in the empty or tare condition, in reference to container handling. Unless otherwise confirmed, containers must be treated as loaded. To be able to maintain safety, when handling or securing containers, environmental conditions like for example wind must be considered. The word loaded refers to the container's maximum gross weigh rating. In order to make sure that the centre of gravity is kept as central and low as possible, the cargo must be equally distributed all around the container.



To be able to maintain safety, having an evenly distributed cargo is helpful to avoid excessive tilting, and lack of vehicle stability. A load which is even helps to avoid unacceptable load concentrations, and unacceptable vehicle axle loading.



With the load distribution within the container, the eccentricity of the center of gravity varies. It is very important that the designers of handling equipment and containers consider during the engineering process. Like for instance, when 60 percent of the load by mass is distributed in 50% of the length of the container measured from one end of the machinery, the eccentricity corresponds to 5%.



In order to make sure that the machinery utilized is right for the cargo, care has to be taken to make sure it is safely attached to the container and that the container is free to be handled. Particular attention should be paid to the risk of the container tilting due to the eccentricity of the center of gravity. When lifting any container whose centre of gravity is mobile or eccentric, such as a bulk container, a tank container or a container with a liquid bulk bag or a thermal container with a refrigerating unit, either integral or clip on, or any container with a hanging cargo, great care should be taken when raising these.



There are numerous methods for utilizing handling containers which can be taken into account. Then again, there has to be an evaluation of the equipment means by which the container is to be used. With regards to international container standards, the methods of operation are foreseen. Safety is paramount in each and every situation and time must be taken prior to starting in order to make sure all situations are handled in the best way possible and overall efficiency is maintained.
