Metal Sheet & Roof Panel Packaging
Inner Moisture Barrier
Sealed waterproof paper wraps each sheet bundle. Prevents rust and moisture damage from high ocean humidity.
Metal Corner Guards
Tough steel corner protectors cover all four edges and corners. Ensures zero edge damage during crane and forklift handling.
Outer Steel Protection
Covered with a protective steel sheet and bound by strong steel straps. Keeps sheet bundles tight and safe from impact.
Fumigated Wooden Skids
Anchored onto IPPC-stamped wooden skids underneath. Provides forklift access and protects bottom sheets from ground friction.
Container Loading & Ocean Transit Safety
Wooden Skid Base Layout
All steel sheet bundles are mounted on IPPC-certified fumigated wooden skids with sufficient ground clearance. This elevated structure enables fast forklift unloading and keeps the bottom sheets safe from container floor condensation.
Rigid Wire Cable Lashing
Bundles are anchored firmly with high-tensile steel wire cables, wooden side chocks, and anti-slip rubber pads connected directly to container D-rings. Guarantees zero bundle movement or friction during heavy sea transit.
Buyer Concern & FAQ
Q1: How do you prevent rust, surface scratches, and edge damage on steel sheets during sea freight?
PPGI.LTD enforces a standardized 4-layer seaworthy export packaging system across all steel sheet shipments (GI, GL, PPGI, PPGL sheets) to resist ocean humidity and rough transit:
- Inner Moisture Barrier: Sealed waterproof paper wraps each sheet bundle to block sea mist and ocean humidity.
- Metal Corner Guards: Tough steel corner protectors cover all four edges to ensure zero edge damage during handling.
- Outer Steel Protection: Covered with a protective outer steel sheet and bound by high-tensile steel straps for rigidity.
- Fumigated Wooden Skids: IPPC-stamped wooden skids elevate bundles to allow safe forklift access and prevent ground friction.
Q2: How are steel sheet bundles secured inside containers to prevent shifting?
All sheet bundles are mounted flat on wooden skids and firmly locked with high-tensile steel wire cables, wooden side chocks, and anti-slip rubber pads attached to container D-rings. This guarantees zero bundle movement or collision during heavy sea transit.
Q3: Can you load steel sheets according to my port's forklift unloading requirements?
Yes. All steel sheet bundles are raised on heavy-duty IPPC-certified wooden skids (clearance ≥ 80mm), allowing standard forklifts to easily lift and unload bundles directly from the container without damaging the bottom sheets.
