II. Instructions of Transportation Products with higher requirements on product surface need to be separated from each other by
packaging materials, and the contact parts between the product and the packaging materials and the
vulnerable parts should be separated by soft protective materials to ensure quality (Figure 2)

Transportation Precautions
When transporting containers by road, you must ensure:
The truck used for transport meets the load requirements and complies with the safety regulations of
the country where it is located.
The proposed route to the port (or onshore installation site) requires a comprehensive assessment
covering at least the following aspects:
1. Road width
2. Road carrying capacity
3. Turning radius Figure Figure 2
4. Bridge clearance width Figu re 2
1
5. Bridge bearing capacity  Comprehensive consideration of the safety, load & stacking of packing
6. Tunnel and overpass headroom containers/racks
7. Truck drivers fully comply with legal requirements and have the required experience
The packing container/rack should be able to effectively ensure that the products will not be deformed,
Note: in any case, ensure that truck drivers follow the best practices and comply with all

a lower center of gravity and place them neatly and orderly, following the basic principle of “the longer

placed on the lower place, while the lighter ones on the upper place; the bigger ones are placed on the

III. PRODUCT PACKAGING FORMS lower place, while the smaller ones on the upper place”. When the products are stacked lengthways,
suitable materials should be selected for filling and septum protection (see Figure 1 below) according to
the product features, structure and other factors when necessary, and reinforcement/constraint
measures (see Figure 2 and Figure 3 below) should be adopted to ensure quality and safety.
The pallet and the carton + pallet packaging methods must fully consider the feature of being

placement method, and order status of the parts (considering the rationality of arraying containers,
to avoid/eliminate LCL).

 Determination of the size of the packing container/rack

According to the size definition of conventional transportation equipment and customer
requirements, both the outer diameter width and height of the general packing
container/rack/pallet are equal to or less than 1,100mm after the parts are loaded and packed (for Figure Figure Figure
rack packaging, the height of a 20/40ft container is generally controlled below 1,900mm, and the 1 2 3
height of a 40ft heightened container is below 2,200mm), while the length is defined according to
the length of the parts. Specifications for special requirements should follow the principle of
“maximum use of space”, and modular & combined design (see Figure 1).

 Unloading of rack /grooved wood packaging
Notes
1. The forklift should be covered with plastic
fork sleeves so that the fork does not directly
touch the anti-rust coating of the products
when the forklift moves the products.
2. During the unloading operation, it is strictly
forbidden for operators to be on the bottom
of the rack and forklift to prevent personal
injury accidents.
Use a 10T forklift to fork the bottom beam of
the end of the rack, parallel to the wall of the
carriage container, and slowly pull it out, as
shown in the figure.
 Unloading of column/wooden box/carton/bagged pallet packaging
Another 10T forklift forks from the middle of
the middle rack, as shown in the figure.
After the middle forklift withstands the force,
the end forklift loosens, and the middle
forklift forks the products to the designated
storage area.
www.arctechsolar.com
Step 1: Firstly, install the extended boom on
the tines of a 10T forklift, and then deepen the
extended boom into the container.
Step 2: Hang the sling on the hook of the
boom, raise the tines until the product leaves
the floor of the carriage, and then slowly
move back until the product completely
leaves the container.
Step 3: The 10t forklift forks and carries the
cargos from the carriage, and then slowly
descends to place the cargos steadily on the
ground.
Step 4: Another forklift or self-crane forks the
cargos from the temporary storage area to
the cargo placement area, and adjusts the
position to make it neat and stable.
Firstly, remove the triangle wood used for
fixing, and then use a forklift to first unload
the products near the entrance of the
carriage.
If there is only one layer of wooden boxes,
pallets or columns for packaging products,
push the products with a hand pallet truck
directly to the gate, and then use a forklift to
fork.
If the container does not land on the truck
and the weight of an individual package is
above 1.5T, firstly use the lifting boom to lift
the upper wooden box, then push products
with a hand pallet truck to the gate, and then
fork them with a forklift.

 2. Equipment Acceptance &Inspection upon Arrival
 Acceptance of large-sized materials:
After the materials arrive on site, Party A, the third party, and the manufacturer (if possible) should
jointly confirm and accept the quantity of the large-sized materials.
 Acceptance of small-sized materials:
For standard materials, standard and small-sized packages can be inspected on site by random
sampling, and the standard material packaging and the quantity of standard materials can be
statistically confirmed.
3. The stacking location of equipment should be subject to the overall arrangement after all equipment
arrives. Ensure that the components are stacked and installed in a well-organized order.
4. There should be as much space as possible between the packaging boxes for easy identification,
inspection and ventilation.
5. The equipment should be subject to uniform force evenly, stably and reliably. It is forbidden to put
heavy boxes on top of light ones or large ones on top of small ones. Avoid putting a box directly on
unpackaged equipment.
6. The inclined angle of the equipment cannot exceed 10 degrees.
7. Do not stack on the soil of a construction site or on corrosive materials, and avoid sand, rain, acid,
alkali, cement, etc.
8. The equipment marked “indoor storage” must be placed in an indoor storage area. For the
equipment marked with the words “keeping dry”, if it is planned to be temporarily stored in the open
air, it must be placed in a shed or should be covered with a waterproof or light-proof tarpaulin to

 Determine the number of stacking layers according to the stacking limit requirements on the
packaging boxes; it is required that the layers of the wooden box stacking at the soil site
should not exceed 2. For stacking in hardened storage areas (cement storage area, asphalt
storage area), if the weight of an individual packaging box is ≤1.3T, there can be 4 stacking
layers, and the limit height is≤2.6M; if the weight of an individual packaging box is ≥1.3T,
there can be 3 stacking layers, and the limit height is ≤2.0M.
