Container Loading & Securing

On-site loading supervision, lashing and steel cradles for machinery and project cargo, at factories across China and at Qingdao and Tianjin ports, with a photo and video report.

Someone on site who knows how cargo should travel

Most loading problems are decided before the container door opens: the wrong container type, no plan for heavy or awkward pieces, parts from two suppliers that were never meant to share a box, and nobody present who can say no. We plan the load, design how it is secured, and stand at the container while it is filled.

We work at factories anywhere in China, and most often at Qingdao and Tianjin ports.

What we handle

ServiceWhat it covers
Loading supervisionAt the factory, a warehouse or the port: the right pieces, in the agreed order, in the agreed positions, with nothing loaded that should not be.
Consolidation from several factoriesGoods from two or more suppliers collected and loaded into one container, with one packing list that matches what is actually inside.
Oversized and irregular equipmentLoading plans for machinery and project cargo, for example mining, construction and amusement equipment, in 20GP, 40GP and 40HQ, open-top and flat-rack containers.
Lashing, blocking and bracingSecuring designed for the weight and shape of each piece, so cargo cannot shift at sea.
Steel frames and cradlesWhere a piece needs a frame, skid or cradle to travel, we design and fabricate it. This is our steel fabrication work applied to shipping.
Protection of fragile partsFibreglass, glass, coated and machined surfaces kept out of the load path and protected from contact.
Pre-loading checkPiece count against the packing list, visible damage, marking and packing condition, checked before anything goes in. If the supplier has no packing list, we make one.

Pre-loading check or independent inspection?

Our engineer checks your goods as your representative on site, and reports what we see with photos and video. That answers most buyers' questions: is it all there, is it the right item, is it undamaged, is it packed properly.

When you need a report that does not depend on us, for example under a letter of credit or for dimensional and material testing, we arrange an independent accredited laboratory. See Quality Inspection.

How it works

  1. Inquiry. Tell us what is being shipped, sizes and weights, where the factories are, the loading date and the container type, if you know it.
  2. Loading plan. We propose the container type, the layout and how each piece is secured, including any frames needed, with a quotation.
  3. Deposit. Work is scheduled when the deposit is received.
  4. On-site work. We check the goods, supervise loading and secure the cargo.
  5. Report. Photos and video of each stage, container and seal numbers, and the piece count against the packing list.
  6. Balance. Paid once you have the report.

What to send us

  • Description of the cargo: dimensions and weight of each piece, or the supplier's packing list
  • Factory or warehouse locations
  • Planned loading date and port of loading
  • Container type, if already booked
  • Photos of the goods, if you have them
