Container Loading & Export Logistics for Cans
Efficient container loading is critical for aluminum can exports. Alucan plans pallet patterns, load configurations and documentation to maximize container utilization and reduce landed cost per can.
Container Loading Capabilities
| Container | Typical Load | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 20' GP | Approximately 60,000–75,000 standard cans | Trial shipments, smaller volumes |
| 40' HQ | Approximately 130,000–160,000 standard cans | Full production lots |
Actual quantities depend on can diameter, height and packing configuration.
Load Optimization
- Pallet-free floor loading to maximize cube utilization.
- Palletized loads for customers with handling requirements.
- Protective dunnage and corner boards to prevent transit damage.
- Weight distribution analysis for safe ocean freight.
