Reserved size
In actual loading operations, gaps between cargo items or container bulging are inevitable. To ensure that the designed stowage plan is practically feasible, a certain dimensional allowance should be reserved in advance to guarantee that all goods can be fully loaded on site.
How much to deduct from container length/width/height is an empirical value. After using the software to guide on-site loading, you can summarize the recommended deduction.
If forklift loading is used, for first-time use of the software the following reserved sizes are recommended:
20GP: deduct 5–10 cm from internal length, 3–5 cm from width, 10 cm from height.
40GP / 40HQ: deduct 13–15 cm from length, 3–5 cm from width, 10 cm from height.
For manual loading where packaging is mostly cartons, the recommended reserved sizes are:
20GP: deduct 5–10 cm from internal length, 3–5 cm from width, 3–5 cm from height.
40GP / 40HQ: deduct 13–15 cm from length, 3–5 cm from width, 3–5 cm from height.
