The correct way to pack steel coils involves many aspects, including the selection of appropriate packaging materials, the correct lashing and stacking methods, and precautions to ensure the safety of the steel coils during transportation and storage.
Choose the right packaging material: First, choose packaging materials with sufficient strength and load-bearing capacity, such as wooden pallets, cardboard, wooden boards, wooden boxes, packing tape, etc. Wooden pallets are the most common packaging materials for steel coils because of their simple structure, light weight and strong load-bearing capacity.
Correct binding and stacking: Steel coils should be fixed by horizontal and vertical binding to prevent them from shifting or sliding during transportation and storage. When stacking steel coils, they should be placed according to certain rules to prevent them from tilting or collapsing. Generally speaking, it is most appropriate to stack them in the form of a triangle or rectangle.
Notes:
Packaging materials should comply with relevant national standards to avoid materials such as plastics and cardboard that do not meet safety requirements.
When binding, ensure that the tension of the binding tape is appropriate and not too tight or too loose to avoid damaging the outer surface of the steel coil.
When stacking, try to avoid stacking too high or unstable, and avoid overlapping stacking.
When the steel coils need to be transported over long distances, you should also pay attention to whether hanging labels, ribbons and other markers are needed for easy inspection and tracking.
In addition, for the transportation of steel coils, the following points should be noted:
Put a layer of wood or thick anti-skid grass mat on the bottom of the cargo compartment to increase the friction between the steel coil and the bottom of the cargo compartment and reduce the possibility of the steel coil sliding.
Use sleepers or steel frames to fix the steel coils, and ensure that there are enough pads between the two steel coils to fix them.
After loading, be sure to tighten the wire rope with a hand-cranked hoist. Whether it is the bundling of a single steel coil or the bundling of the steel coil and the carriage, it must be done well. This is the most important way to prevent the steel coil from moving.
Also, check more during driving to prevent the fixed wire rope from loosening.
In summary, the correct way to load steel coils not only involves choosing the right packaging materials and the right bundling and stacking methods, but also includes safety measures and precautions during transportation to ensure the safe transportation and storage of steel coils.
