10 : Container Presentation

10.1 Container Condition

• Products must be stacked in the container with 2 cardboard dividers across the container and a card layer halfway up the container as in the diagram below. This will prevent load slipping when unloading • The lashing points inside containers should be used to secure loads at intervals in at least 4 points inside the container. This should include the centre and rear of the load as indicated in the diagram • 1½ inch (4cm) webbing should be used as lashing inside the containers. • Maximum load weight of stock (inc. pallet): 1000kg • Maximum pallet height (inc. pallets): 1.2m • One SKU per pallet (prior approval from Euro Car Parts Ltd is needed for mixed pallets) • Double stacking of pallets is only permitted if the load remains secure, products are suitable for double stacking, each pallet is stretch wrapped separately and the stack is then stretch wrapped together. • If, as a result of double stacking, loads become unsafe or damage occurs to the product, Euro Car Parts Ltd will refuse the load. All palletised container deliveries must conform to the following format.

It is the suppliers’ freight forwarder responsibility to ensure that the container is fit to deliver goods and meets all health and safety responsibilities. Dependant on INCOTERMS. Where responsibility is with the Supplier, they must ensure that Euro Car Parts Ltd.’s products are delivered in a satisfactory condition.

10.2 Container Loading

No shipments are allowed to be split across two or more containers. One container, however, could contain more than one ASN. The stuffing sequence within a single container is based on SKU level – each ASN must be loaded together and not split across the container.

The following should be followed when loose loading containers:

• Only cartons of 25KG or less should be loose loaded into containers • The lashing points inside containers should be used to secure loads at intervals in at least 4 points inside the container. This should include the centre and rear of the load as indicated in the diagram • 1½ inch (4cm) webbing should be used as lashing inside the containers • A suitably sized cardboard layer should be placed at the end of the product before the load is strapped to ensure the product does not fall when the doors are opened or when being unloaded. Obscure products that do not stack easily and are difficult to load and unload, must adhere to the following;

• Products should be wrapped in shrink wrap in sets clearly labelled
