Steel Coil Steel

Case Background

Customer situationA certain factory plans to export a batch of steel coils to Manila Port in the Philippines, with a large volume of goods requiring approximately 20 20GP loads.

Transportation demandDue to the weight of steel coils ranging from 6-8 tons per coil and their high value, there are high requirements for transportation safety, timeliness, and cost control.

Packaging Guidance

Wooden frame packagingIn order to protect the surface of the steel coil from scratches or deformation, Hongde Logistics Consultant went to the customer's factory in advance for packaging guidance. Fix the steel coil on the wooden frame with wood and nails to ensure that the packaging is firm and can withstand vibrations and impacts during transportation.

Operation Process

two Arrange container: Hongde International arranges the container to arrive at the loading site 10-15 days in advance, leaving sufficient delivery time for the factory.

three Station packing: Hongde International receives steel coils at the packing site and arranges professional packing personnel to carry out packing operations. During the packing process, it is necessary to strictly follow the packing plan, fully utilize the space and load-bearing capacity of the box, in order to reduce transportation costs.

six Transportation Insurance: Hongde International recommends customers to purchase transportation insurance for their goods to cope with possible accidental losses.

Matters Needing Attention

one Ensure sturdy packaging: When selecting packaging methods, ensure that the packaging can withstand vibrations and impacts during transportation to protect the surface of the steel coil from damage.

three Avoid rough handling: When loading and unloading steel coils, rough handling should be avoided to avoid damaging the packaging or causing deformation of the coils. Specialized loading and unloading tools and equipment should be used to ensure safety and stability during the loading and unloading process.

four Proper labeling and recording: During transportation, steel coils should be labeled and recorded, including specifications, weight, production date, and other information for easy retrieval and management when needed.

five Compliance with regulations: During transportation, relevant traffic laws and regulations must be followed to ensure vehicle safety and prevent accidents.
