There are many types of goods transported in international shipping, and different types of ships and loading and unloading equipment are used for different types of goods. Seven Seas introduces how to transport oversized cargo in terms of ship type and loading and unloading equipment for specific cargo. 1. Truck. The truck is transported by PCTC (PURE CAR TRUCK CARRIER). Its main feature is that it uses a single deck (generally between 3-4 meters in height) and the cabin can accommodate large trucks. The maximum load capacity of the ship’s tail jump can reach 45 tons. The load capacity per square meter can reach 3 tons, so overweight trucks can be allowed to jump into the cabin through the stern of the ship.

2. Large equipment. Generally speaking, the transportation of large-scale equipment is more complicated. Some parts are larger in volume and tonnage, which cannot be transported in general containers, and some parts and accessories can be transported in containers. This kind of equipment generally adopts the ship type RORO AND CONTAINER, which can load large parts and containers at the same time, so it is the ideal ship type for the transportation of many large equipment.

Which loading and unloading equipment is more reasonable for this type of ship in international shipping?

In international shipping, BOLSTER FLATBED is suitable for large parts within 4 meters in length and 28 tons in weight. The cargo is hoisted to the flat plate by a crane with a lifting height of no more than one meter (to avoid damage to the cargo caused by the swing and overturning of the cargo during the lifting process), and then use a special nylon belt (its rigidity is equivalent to that of a steel wire rope, but relative to The wire rope can greatly reduce the wear on the surface of the cargo) or the wire rope is added with gaskets to fix the cargo on the flat plate, and the cargo is transported into the cabin by the forklift through the stern of the ship.

ROLLTRAILER is suitable for transporting overweight and oversized cargo. Theoretically, it can carry cargo up to 25 meters long and weighing up to 120 tons. However, due to the limitation of the tail jump carrying capacity and the tractor's carrying capacity, the actual carrying capacity will be too small. some. ROLLTRAILER is transported into the cabin by the self-propelled tractor through the stern of the ship, which can achieve zero damage to the cargo.

3. Train carriages. Because the train carriage is long, 40 meters long, the general ROLLTRAILER transportation will not be able to rotate into the cabin due to the restriction of the hatch. SPECIALDESIGNED TRAILERS (special tire bogies) can solve this problem. The tires of this equipment can realize 360-degree rotation and can be transported into the cabin by turning around when jumping into the cabin through the tail of the ship.
