According to its size, the frame or support plate of a heavy piece of machinery must be bolted to hardwood skids or a rigid wooden platform.
This structure must then be secured to the floor of the container (for example, by heavy wood blocks), as well as being braced against the corner fittings at the height of the center of gravity of the load.
It may also be necessary to level up the structure with the floor of the container. Side and end walls of the container should be reinforced with wood beams.
Airbags can be used to stabilize the cargo. When transporting machinery on platform containers, a wooden frame should be constructed around the base of the machinery, which should then be secured with chains, straps, or wire rope and turnbuckles. |
