Unloading Shipping Containers In 2020

Unloading containers can be done using a forklift and just removing one pallet out at a time. If the items in a shipping container arrive loose, then this will require sorting, palletizing and wrapping. The use of lumpers such as the ones from Lumper HQ is ideal to unload containers by hand. Depending how the customers need the goods palletized there may be requirements to sort by PO numbers, or stack with certain patterns such as a “chimney pattern” or “interlocked pattern”. Lastly wrapping of the completed pallet with pallet shrink wrap by hand or machine will secure the load for further transport or storage.
