Planning and loading a container

Container loading plan for glulam bundles

Moving a container of timber across the Atlantic is a big operation, and the freight and trucking partners who make it work earn their place on the team. Like everything else, it starts with a plan.

Bundles of prefabricated elements are laid out and nested on paper first, so the container space is used fully and the bundles come off in the order the site needs them.

A full container is half the job. The other half is the order inside each bundle.
