  2. Container compression test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_compression_test

    The deformation at peak load; The load at a critical deformation (head space, etc.) The ability of a container to protect the contents from compression damage; etc. The dynamic loads have some relationship with expected field loads.: [3] often factors of 4 or 5 are used to estimate the allowable working load on boxes.

  3. Working load limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_breaking_strength

    Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum working load designed by the manufacturer. This load represents a force that is much less than that required to make the lifting equipment fail or yield. The WLL is calculated by dividing MBL by a safety factor (SF).

  4. Lifting equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_equipment

    Lifting equipment can be assigned a Working Load Limit (WLL) in the interests of avoiding failure; Working Load Limit is calculated by dividing the Minimum Breaking Load of the equipment by a safety factor. [5] WLL as a concept is not restricted to lifting, being also relevant for mooring ropes. [6]

  5. Intermodal container - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodal_container

    Like cardboard boxes and pallets, these containers are a means to bundle cargo and goods into larger, unitized loads that can be easily handled, moved, and stacked, and that will pack tightly in a ship or yard. Intermodal containers share a number of construction features to withstand the stresses of intermodal shipping, to facilitate their ...

  6. Dimensional weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_weight

    A box of unpopped corn kernels will likely be charged by gross weight; a box of popcorn will probably be charged by its dimensional weight. This is because the large box of popcorn takes up a lot of space but does not fill up a vehicle's capacity in terms of weight, making it an inefficient use of space. [14]

  7. Deadweight tonnage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_tonnage

    Deadweight tonnage is a measure of a vessel's weight carrying capacity, not including the empty weight of the ship. It is distinct from the displacement (weight of water displaced), which includes the ship's own weight, or the volumetric measures of gross tonnage or net tonnage (and the legacy measures gross register tonnage and net register tonnage).

  8. Design load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_load

    A crane's rated load is its Safe Working Load (SWL) and the design load (DL) is, (p 90) [1] = The dynamic lift factor for offshore cranes in the range 10 kN < SWL ≤ 2500 kN is not less than =.(p 84) [1] Thus for a crane with a SWL of 2000 kN (~200 tonne) its design load is not less than, = = The minimum breaking load (MBL) for the combined capacity of reeves of a steel wire hoisting rope ...

  9. Unit load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_load

    Reach truck handling stretch wrapped unit load Air cargo container of the AKH type on a trailer. The term unit load refers to the size of an assemblage into which a number of individual items are combined for ease of storage and handling, [1] for example a pallet load represents a unit load which can be moved easily with a pallet jack or forklift truck, or a container load represents a unit ...
