Preparation: Before loading begins, goods are typically prepared for transport. This may involve packaging, labeling, and organizing items according to their destination or specific requirements. Loading Plan: A loading plan may be created to optimize space utilization within the vehicle or storage area. This plan outlines the sequence and arrangement of items to maximize efficiency and minimize the risk of damage during transport. Loading: During the loading process, goods are carefully placed onto the vehicle or into the designated storage area according to the loading plan. This may involve the use of equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, or conveyor belts to safely move and position items. Securement: Once loaded, goods may be secured using straps, ropes, or other restraints to prevent shifting or damage during transit. This is particularly important for items that are fragile, heavy, or sensitive to movement. Unloading: Arrival: Upon reaching the destination, the vehicle or container is brought to the unloading area. In the case of storage facilities, goods may be unloaded directly from shelves or racks. Unloading Plan: Similar to loading, an unloading plan may be created to facilitate the efficient removal of items from the vehicle or storage area. This plan considers factors such as the order of unloading, handling requirements, and any specific instructions for certain items. Unloading: During the unloading process, goods are carefully removed from the vehicle or storage area according to the unloading plan. This may involve the use of equipment and techniques to safely lift, lower, or maneuver items as needed. Inspection: As goods are unloaded, they may be inspected for damage or discrepancies compared to the shipping documents. Any issues or concerns are documented and addressed accordingly. Storage or Distribution: Once unloaded, goods may be stored in a warehouse or distribution center for further processing or distribution to their final destination.
