how to stacking packing and lashing flatbed semi trailer for delivery and shipping

  • Packaging semi-trailer can be carried out from the following aspects:
  • I. Preparations
  • Cleaning semi-trailer
  • Before packing, clean the semi-trailer thoroughly. Wash the exterior of the car body with a high-pressure water gun to remove dust, dirt and other dirt. For the interior of the car body, such as the cargo box, you can use a broom or vacuum cleaner to clean up the debris.
  • Cleaning the semi-trailer can not only make the packed vehicle more tidy, but also facilitate the inspection of the vehicle’s condition.
  • Check the condition of the vehicle
  • Carefully check all parts of the semi-trailer, including tires, braking system, suspension system, lighting, etc. Ensure that these components are in good working condition, and repair or replace them in time if they are damaged or faulty.
  • Check whether the tire pressure is normal and whether the tire surface is worn or damaged. At the same time, check the braking performance of the brake system to ensure that the brakes are sensitive and reliable.
  • Check the suspension system to see if the spring, shock absorber and other components are loose or damaged. In addition, check whether the lighting of the vehicle is normal, including headlights, taillights and turn signals.
  • Prepare packing materials
  • According to the size of the semi-trailer and the parts to be protected, prepare the corresponding packing materials. Commonly used packaging materials are plastic film, foam board, adhesive tape, rope and so on.
  • Plastic film can be used to cover the car body to prevent dust and moisture from entering. Foam board can be used to protect the prominent parts of vehicles, such as rearview mirrors and headlights. Adhesive tapes can be used to fix packing materials, and ropes can be used to bind goods or fix vehicle parts.
  • Second, packaging steps
  • Cover the car body
  • Spread the plastic film, starting from the front of the semi-trailer, and gradually cover the body. Ensure that the plastic film covers evenly, without wrinkles and holes. In the process of covering, plastic films can be fixed at the edges and corners of the car body with adhesive tapes.
  • If the semi-trailer body is long, it can be covered by many people to ensure the effect and efficiency of coverage.
  • Protect the protruding parts
  • For the protruding parts such as rearview mirror, lights and bumper of semi-trailer, foam board can be used for protection. Cut the foam board into an appropriate shape and then fix it on the protruding part with adhesive tape.
  • Foam board can play a buffering role to prevent these parts from being collided and damaged during transportation.
  • Fixed goods
  • If there are goods on the semi-trailer, it is necessary to fix the goods to prevent them from moving and being damaged during transportation. You can use ropes, straps and other tools to bind the goods to the container.
  • When binding goods, make sure that the binding is firm and the goods will not loosen or slip. At the same time, we should pay attention to the distribution of the center of gravity of the goods and try to keep the center of gravity of the goods in the center of the vehicle.
  • Closed container
  • If the container of semi-trailer is open, it needs to be closed. You can cover the container with tarpaulin or other waterproof materials, and then fix the tarpaulin on the container with ropes or straps.
  • Closed containers can prevent the goods from being affected by external factors such as rain and dust.
  • Tag vehicle information
  • After the packaging is completed, it is necessary to mark the information of the vehicle on the semi-trailer, such as license plate number, model, transportation destination, etc. This can facilitate the identification of vehicles and the management of goods during transportation.
  • You can use paint, stickers, etc. to make sure the marks are clearly visible.
  • Third, matters needing attention
  • safety first
  • Always pay attention to safety when packing semi-trailers. Avoid falling accidents when working at heights, and be careful when using tools to prevent injuries.
  • If you need to use cranes or other large-scale equipment for packing, you should ensure the safety of the equipment and the qualifications of the operators.
  • Select the appropriate packaging materials.
  • According to the characteristics and transportation requirements of semi-trailer, choose the appropriate packaging materials. Different packaging materials have different properties and uses, and should be selected according to the actual situation.
  • For example, for goods that need moisture protection, plastic films and tarpaulins with good waterproof performance can be selected; For fragile items, you can choose cushioning materials such as foam board.
  • Follow packaging specifications
  • When packing semi-trailers, we should follow the relevant packing specifications and standards. These specifications and standards usually include the use of packaging materials, the way of fixing goods, the marking of vehicle information and so on.
  • Following the packaging specifications can ensure the quality and safety of packaging, and at the same time avoid problems during transportation.
  • Check the packaging effect
  • After the packaging is completed, the packaging effect should be checked. Check whether the plastic film is evenly covered, whether the goods are firmly fixed, and whether the vehicle information is clearly marked.
  • If problems are found, they should be adjusted and repaired in time to ensure that the packaging effect meets the requirements.
  • In a word, packaging semi-trailer needs careful preparation and operation, and follows relevant norms and standards to ensure the safety of vehicles and goods during transportation.
