The following points should be noted during the transportation of IBC containers:
1. Securing Method: IBC containers must be securely secured to the transport vehicle to prevent movement or tipping during transport. Common securing methods include using bolts, straps, and support frames; the specific method should be selected based on the model and size of the IBC container.
2. Transport Speed: The transport speed should be appropriate to avoid excessive inertial forces that could damage the IBC container. It is generally recommended to travel on smooth roads, with a speed not exceeding 20 km/h.
3. Road Selection: Flat and firm roads should be selected to avoid damage to the IBC container due to uneven or bumpy roads during transport. When crossing bridges, culverts, or other obstacles, the IBC container should be checked to ensure it meets the relevant load-bearing requirements.
4. Stacking Method: During transportation, IBC containers should be stacked according to regulations. Generally, IBC containers should be placed vertically and kept stable to prevent tilting or sliding. In addition, the stacking height should not exceed the specified limits to avoid excessive pressure that could cause bottom deformation or breakage.
5. Sun and Rain Protection: IBC containers should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or rain. During transportation, IBC containers should be covered with a covering or waterproof tarpaulin to prevent damage from sunlight and rain.
6. Clear Labeling: During transportation, the IBC containers should be clearly labeled with information such as the container name, manufacturer, production date, and expiration date. This information helps transport personnel and recipients better understand and manage the IBC containers.
7. Safety Awareness: Transport personnel should be safety conscious and understand the characteristics, usage methods, and precautions of IBC containers. During transportation, close attention should be paid to road conditions and weather conditions, adjusting transport speed accordingly and paying attention to avoiding pedestrians and other vehicles.
