    Transportation of goods requires specific knowledge and experience in order to ensure greater load safety and integrity, as well as customer satisfaction. In this article, we'll show you tips to avoid accidents in goods transportation, especially fragile loads.

     
    Choose the right boxes

    The most used material in freight is cardboard, but it is not the best option, especially if the objects are fragile. In addition, cartons are not moisture resistant. Therefore, we recommend the use of stronger materials with higher protection capacity. This is the case of wooden or hard plastic boxes, which offer greater security, as well as can be stacked and handled without damaging the merchandise. Another great advantage is that these options aren't disposable, unlike cartons. When you buy harder boxes, you only invest once and you can use them for a long time, saving resources and helping to take care of the environment.

    At  For Demand, we have many sturdy packaging solutions that ensure greater safety in freight transportation.

    Mark the packages

    It's critical for the team to know when is dealing with fragile loads, because the use of unmarked rigid boxes is useless. Label the word "fragile", which also indicates the correct placement of the box. In addition, this type of signalling is universal.

     
    Protect the products one by one


    When loads aren't fragile, it's common to pack the products together within a box, to optimize resources and time. However, if the load is brittle, it can't be done in the same way.

    When packing the objects, separate them one by one with bubble wrap or protective pads. Remember that in transportation, products can move and damage others next to them. Therefore, adopt the necessary strategies to prevent this from happening.


    Tighten the volume well

    If you tie the load well, it'll be better protected. Find ways to unify the volumes on the truck to avoid shifting and breaking. If the goods are loose, they can fall or move a lot, so it's essential they are well attached during transportation.

     
    Put the fragile products on top

    By placing the fragile load on top of the package, it prevents the weight of other objects from damaging the fragile ones, avoiding unnecessary accidents.


    Qualified human resources

    It's important to have professionals who understand freight transportation, who will know how to carry out all the steps of the process.
