A shipment of light goods could possibly be arranged in two tiers within the container. On the contrary, if your loaded pallets are heavy, you might have to reduce the number per container so as not to exceed a certain weight. This could be the case if a container is routed in transit by truck and needs to meet a road weight limit. The most suitable pallet for your container shipment depends on your supplier and the markets involved.
The following factors determine how many pallets you can fit into a standard container. This depends on product size and weight and influences possible loading of tiers in your container. Clarify the loading height of your pallets with your product supplier or manufacturer. Load weight: This must be considered for heavy pallets since their weight may reduce the maximum number of pallets allowed per container.
Keep load and road weight limits in mind. Container space: The pallet arrangement within a or foot container should maximize the use of space in three dimensions. At the same time, the distribution should ensure efficient loading and unloading while minimizing potential damages.
Your shipping and loading agent will assist you with the best pallet arrangement for your container. Unloading requirements: Factor in the needs of your customer or final recipient of your shipment, especially if they are in charge of unloading your shipping container. They might have limitations on loading height, tiered loading or preferential pallet arrangement within the container. Passage through buildings and doorways as well as onward routing may also be an issue.
