How To Earn $2000 More Per Container During The Epidemic

We TOW-MAX are the industry’s leading supplier of trailer parts, with wide range products resourcing. We are also experienced in mixed container loading.

In following article, we will talk about how to earn money by optimal container space utilization.

Sea freight charge have continued to grow after the outbreak of the COVID. Shipping costs have increased by 4 to 10 times since early 2020. Many importers have been forced to postpone their procurement plans from China due to expensive transport expenses. However, instead of being worried about the cost of sourcing imports, our TOW-MAX customers have increased the frequency and volume of purchases.   

Would you like to know the secret? In this article, we will reveal the secret to you.  

Many importers have to adjust their business models as a result of the COVID outbreak, and others even went out of business due to broken capital chains. The COVID outbreak caused a reorganization of the industry and the loss of significant market shares. Isn’t it an exceptionally powerful competitive advantage if you can import at a cheaper cost than your competitors, resulting in a larger total profit? Do you want to know why our customers are making at least $2000 more per container than their competitors? Let us show you TOW-MAX’s amazing KDC profit enhancement method.

The unit weight of each container is certain. For example, in a 20-foot  container, the conventional unit capacity is 17000 KG/28CBM, that is, 607KG/CBM; in a 40-foot flat container, the conventional unit capacity is 23000 KG/58CBM, that is, 396.6KG/CBM; in a 40-foot high container, the conventional unit capacity is 26000 KG / 68CBM, that is, 382.4KG/CBM. Therefore, as long as you know the procurement of goods density (total weight of goods/ total volume) and the choice of cabinet type, you can determine whether the cargo is heavy cargo or light cargo. If the density of the goods is greater than the container unit capacity, it is considered heavy cargo and vice versa for light cargo. The procurement of goods density closer to the unit capacity, the higher the utilization rate of the container.

However, many importers are usually based on product inventory for procurement. They rarely combined with the container loading situation, not to mention the calculation of the density of the purchased goods. Their suppliers have never popularized the relevant knowledge with them, and even though the volume of goods purchased did not reach the whole container, it did not remind them. This is very likely to lead to the following three situations.

• The density of goods is greater than the container unit capacity. Although the container still has a lot of free space, the total weight has reached the weight limit value, resulting in a waste of space.
• The density of goods is less than the container unit capacity. Although the container has been filled, the total weight of the goods is still far from the weight limit, resulting in a waste of load.
• The total volume of purchased goods does not reach the volume of the whole container. The weight is also far less than the weight limit, resulting in more space and a waste of load.

When coupled with the lack of experience in many factories loading cabinets, improperly loading goods, etc. The container utilization rate is greatly reduced, and even the conventional 90% loading rate can not be reached. Combined with the current cost of shipping, the 10% of space is a real $2000 !
