Loading & Lashing Completed

Loose Bars

This project focused on the precision loading and securement of high-tonnage metal bar stock and piping within standard shipping containers. To guarantee safe transit and eliminate the risk of cargo shifting, we implemented rigorous heavy-load stabilization protocols. The cargo was professionally secured by GPS Cargo handling utilizing advanced "chock and brace" techniques, meeting the highest safety standards for international transport.

London Gateway Port, Stanford-le-Hope, Essex 22,422 kgs Single Shift

Project Overview

We were commissioned to manage the containerisation and securement of a 22,422 kg industrial consignment for sea freight, housed within a 40' High Cube (HC) container. The cargo comprised a diverse mix of large-diameter solid metal billets and smaller-diameter industrial piping, requiring specialised handling and precise weight distribution to ensure integrity during maritime transit.

Challenge

Integrating long-format cargo into a closed container presents significant logistical challenges, primarily due to the restrictive dimensions and the awkward center of gravity.

Solution

Utilizing a specialized boom lift for precision handling, we safely maneuvered and positioned the cargo to maximize space and maintain structural integrity.

Result

For this project, we successfully managed the loading and securement of a 22,422 kg industrial consignment within a 40' High Cube (HC) container. The shipment consisted of a complex mix of large-diameter solid metal billets and smaller-diameter industrial piping. To mitigate the risks associated with such high-tonnage, irregular loads, we implemented professional "chock and brace" techniques. This stabilisation ensured optimal weight distribution and total cargo security throughout maritime transit.
