冷藏货物装卸
Hapag-Lloyd equipment depots ensure that reefer boxes are clean and in sound condition upon release for a new transport.
In the interest of exercising best cargo care, we appreciate observation of following recommendations:
Prior to stuffing
- Verify only clean reefer container is accepted from depot
- Observe the use of adequate packaging material
- Keep in mind plastic wrapping may act as vapor barrier and prevent air circulation around the product
- Ensure your product temperature reflects transport temperature before stuffing commences
- Your reefer cargo should preferably be sourced from a refrigerated loading bay
Stuffing of reefer container
- Switch off the power-unit during loading operation, to avoid ambient air exchange.
- Ensure product is evenly stuffed in correct manner to avoid obstructions that can result in hot spots
- Do not stack boxes above load line; spacers will help to stabilize cargo and ensure good airflow
- Avoid poor air circulation which is amongst primary causes of product deterioration
- Any free floor area and gaps may not exceed 5% of floor area to avoid negative impact on airflow
- Use board or dunnage material to avoid gaps and open floor areas
- Do not load cargo beyond surface provided by „T-Bar“ flooring inside the container
- To ensure free airflow, no space between cargo units permitted in front of unit air distribution point
- Adequate refrigeration relies on good air circulation around your entire load
Completing loading operation
- Close doors properly
- Ensure correct set point for carrying temperature, humidity and setting of air ventilation
- Start up reefer power-unit
