How to reduce the chance of damage during transportation of packed boxes

2025-6-13

1. Preparation before transportation
1. Structural reinforcement
- Provide internal support (such as wooden frames and steel frames) to fragile parts of the box room to prevent deformation caused by vibration during transportation.
- Check whether the box welding points and bolt connections are firm, and perform secondary reinforcement if necessary.
2. Packaging Protection
- Use anti-collision materials (such as foam boards, rubber strips, plastic corner guards) to wrap the edges and corners of the box to avoid direct collision.
- The outer layer of the box can be covered with waterproof and dust-proof tarpaulin or plastic film to prevent rainwater from penetration or dust entering.
- Doors and windows and other vulnerable parts must be closed with wooden boards or hard materials to avoid accidental opening or damage during the way.
3. Internal fixation
- If equipment or furniture is installed inside the box, it must be fixed with straps or fillers (such as bubble films, sponges) to prevent movement and impact.

2. Loading and unloading and loading specifications
1. Loading and unloading equipment selection
- Use professional equipment such as forklifts and cranes to load and unload them to avoid tilt or bumps caused by manual handling.
- Special spreaders (such as four-corner balance hooks) are required during lifting to ensure uniform stress.
2. Loading layout
- The box room should be placed horizontally on the transport vehicle, with anti-slip pads or rubber plates at the bottom to reduce friction.
- When transporting multiple layers, partitions need to be separated to avoid direct squeezing of the upper and lower layers.
- Ensure the balance of the vehicle's load-bearing and avoid overturning caused by center of gravity.
3. Fixed measures
- Use high-strength nylon straps or steel cables to fix the box room with the vehicle chassis, with at least 2-3 straps on each side, and cross-reinforced diagonally.
- Place wooden wedges or anti-slip devices between the box and the vehicle to prevent sliding.

3. Protection during transportation
1. Vehicle selection
- Choose a flatbed car or a low-chassis special transport vehicle to ensure the stability of the box room and not super high and wide.
- It is recommended to choose a vehicle with a shock absorption system for long-distance transportation to reduce the impact of bumps.
2. Route Planning
- Priority is given to highways with flat and good road conditions to avoid bumpy mountain roads or height/width sections.
- Check the weather in advance to avoid transporting in severe weather such as heavy rain and strong winds.
3. Driving Control
- Drivers need to drive at a constant speed to avoid sudden brakes or sharp turns and reduce inertial impact.
- Regularly stop and check whether the straps are tight and the position of the box is offset.

4. Other precautions
1. Insurance and liability division
- Purchase cargo transportation insurance and clarify the responsibility for damage.
- Sign an agreement with the transportation company to provide professional reinforcement and protective services.
2. Acceptance and Record
- Take photos of the box and room angles before and after transportation to retain evidence for retrospective liability.
- After arrival, check whether the box, doors, windows and internal facilities are intact immediately, and make timely claims for problems.

Through the above measures, the risk of damage caused by vibration, collision, weather and other factors during transportation can be greatly reduced, and the packed box room can be safely arrived at the destination.
