Container Handling Suggestions

The meaning of a "loaded container" for the purpose of container handling and securing; is a container other than in the tare or empty condition. Containers should be treated as loaded, unless otherwise confirmed. To be able to maintain safety, when securing or handling containers, environmental conditions like wind should be taken into consideration. The term loaded refers to the maximum gross weigh rating of the container. In order to guarantee that the centre of gravity is kept as low and central as possible, the load has to be distributed all over the container.



Having an evenly distributed load it is beneficial to avoid lack of vehicle stability, and excessive tilting, in order to maintain safety. A load that is even helps to avoid unacceptable load concentrations, and unacceptable vehicle axle loading.



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



In order to make sure that the machine used is perfect for the load, care needs to be taken to make certain it is safely attached to the container and that the container is free to be handled. Specific attention should be paid to the risk of the container tilting because of the eccentricity of the center of gravity. When raising any container whose centre of gravity is mobile or eccentric, like for instance a tank container, a bulk container a thermal container with a refrigerating unit or a container with a liquid bulk bag, either clip on or integral, or any container with a hanging load, extreme care needs to be taken when lifting these.



There are numerous methods for using handling containers that could be taken into consideration. Nevertheless, there has to be an evaluation of the machinery means by which the container is to be utilized. With respect to international container standards, the methods of operation are envisaged. Safety is paramount in every situation and time needs to be taken prior to starting in order to make sure overall efficiency is maintained and all situations are handled in the best possible way.
