BASICS ABOUT TRANSPORTATION

Hi to all team,

 let's have a short description of keywords about logistics.

CONTAINER:

Metallic recipes with standard types and dimensions to move merchandise long distances could be moved by train, truck, or boat.

Over these days we are looking for the best options available to transport with Shipper cost, Fast, and safe. We need to have a general idea about key points as:

Types, Dimensions, capacity, how to be efficient at the best cost!! Let’s start with the most common ones:

40 Ft container

20Ft container

53 ft trailer box

48 ft dry box.

For all of these apply:

FCL Full container load: Only your merchandise will be inside. 

LCL Less than container load: You are sharing the freight with others.

When you are creating packing is more about protection, the packaging and final box are more about the design, considering these are supposed to fit into a pallet.

Pallets:

Pallets make easier the truck/container load are in two official dimensions:

           American Pallets: 48” x 40”                   European Pallets: 31.50”×47.24”

                   

To calculate the total dimensions of your boxes or pallets, just need to multiplicate, this is the simple formula:

 Length x Width x Height.

Example:

Hope these general points bring you an overall about the available options to move your loads.
