At EMU Express, proper packaging of your freight is the best way to ensure safe delivery. These guidelines are intended for shipments weighing more than 68 kg.
When shipping freight, size, weight, climate and handling all matter because multiple vehicles often deliver goods to their final destination. EMU Express express freight and cargo services share unified packaging guidelines and requirements.
The orientation of cartons in palletized freight shipments can significantly impact shipment integrity. EMU Express recommends adhering to the following guidelines.
Shock and vibration forces are natural during transit; most products need some form of cushioning to protect them. Blocking and bracing are also important for large individual items that can't be boxed or crated.
Typically, transit damage to palletized corrugated boxes occurs because the shipment was improperly stacked, bundled or secured. Load protection, stretchwrapping and banding play an important role.
| Weight of Pallet Load | Bottom Wrap | Top Wrap |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 227 kg | 3 | 2 |
| 227 – 454 kg | 4 | 3 |
| 454 – 680 kg | 5 | 4 |
| over 680 kg | 6 | 5 |
Wrap indicates layers of stretchwrap film
Uniquely shaped items — tires, bags, drums, spools, engines, pipes and copiers — require special handling. EMU Express recommends appropriate securing methods.
Handling labels and marking should be clearly visible and positioned on the sides preferred for forklift entry. Remove or mark out any old labels, tags and markings.
