Interval and carton expansion is inevitable in actual loading operation. In order to ensure the designed loading scheme is feasible, it is necessary to reserve a certain size in advance to ensure that all the goods can be fully loaded on site.

1)If the size of the goods is actually measured, the goods is loaded directly after production, and the container size is the standard inner inch (i.e. 20GP: 589*235*239CM, 40GP: 1200*235*239CM, 40HQ: 1200*235*269CM), at such condition, two methods can be set to simulate the situation of manual interval. You can set the reserve size of container or cargo interval, which is an empirical value. And you can summarize how much should be set after using the plans designed by LoadMaster to guide on-site loading several times.

â‘  When set the reserved size in the container interface at the first time, the recommended values are as follows:

The packaging boxes are all carton packaging, or most of them are carton packaging and only few of them are wooden boxes and iron boxes, etc., and they are directly packed by manual work.

20GP reserved 5-8CM in length, 3-5CM in width, 3-5CM in height

40GP/40HQ reserved 10-15CM in length, 3-5CM in width, 3-5CM in height

The packing boxes are all wooden boxes or pallets or iron boxes, which do not involve carton loading, or only a very small number of cartons. And a forklift is used when loading.

20GP reserved 5-8CM in length, 3-5CM in width, 10CM in height

40GP/40HQ reserved 10-15CM in length, 3-5CM in width, 10CM in height

The [reserved height] of container should be deducted by 10CM, which means the 10CM of corner castings is also deducted, therefore the size of corner castings should be set to "0".

â‘¡ In the [Loading Rules] interface, reasonably set the [spatial separation] in length, width and height directions of each cargo. It is recommended to set about 1CM for the first use.

2)If the goods are packaged in cartons and the size are only theoretical, and the goods will be stored in the warehouse for more than one or two weeks after production before being shipped. At such condition, the expansion of the cartons due to the stacking and backlog in the warehouse should be considered. According to the test of Japanese experts, the deformation of the cartons in such condition is 1%-1.8% of the original size.

3)If the size of the cargo has been enlarged by 1-2CM, there is no need to set the reserved size of containers or interval between cargoes.

4)If the container size has been reasonably deducted, there is no need to set the reserved size of containers or interval between cargoes.
