LOADING THE VEHICLE IN THE CONTAINER


It should be noted that loading a car into a container is an important and crucial stage. How does it happen? There is a ramp at the exporter's site, to which a container truck with an empty container drives up. It requires several trained workers, wooden planks and beams, nails, winches and a forklift (Fork Lift) to load it.

Transport regulations require vehicles to be drained of all fluids and the battery terminals to be disconnected. To ensure the safety of the car, the following actions are often performed:

  • the wheels are removed (in this case, the mounting bolts will lie in the pocket of the driver's door, and the wheels themselves will be in the trunk of the car);
  • floor mats are glued to the edge of the hood/roof;
  • some of its elements are removed (antennas, spoilers, etc., which are placed in the cabin or trunk);

High quality wooden boards and beams are used to fasten the cars in the container. Its design solutions allow you to securely fix wooden elements. The upper machine is additionally fixed with chains for special ears in the ceiling of the container. Also, the chains are attached to the hub of the car, which lies on wooden beams (front and rear], and is additionally insured with 4 chains, each of which is able to withstand a weight of one ton. The lower car is fixed with wooden blocks, which are nailed to the floor. Blocks exclude moving the car through the container in all directions.The technique has been worked out for years and does not fail.

Tall and large cars on two floors cannot be loaded. Therefore, one car drives into the container, and a flyover is mounted above it, on which another car is placed.

After loading the car into the container, it is transported to the port terminal, then it is placed in a container container ship and will sail to the port of destination.
