Floor Load /Hand Stack

Floor Load /Hand Stack Definition:

Floor load is content loaded directly into the container floor. It's also called floor stacking.

In this packing method, the container is stacked and filled with goods or content from the floor to the ceiling without pallets. It's simply a container where cargo is loaded onto the floor. Such loaded freight is considered loose because it's not secured. The floors are usually reinforced to support the loads and may also utilize safety features like wheel chocks or tie-down points to prevent the cargo from shifting. Some packages are usually too small to be palletized, while others may be too large and oddly or irregularly shaped.
