How should engines or cable reels be fixed to a pallet?
Use a packing design that prevents the item moving sideways or overturning and protects vulnerable components. DHL guidance calls for bracing outsize items such as engines and cable reels to their base. Do not improvise restraint from the pallet load rating alone.
What to check next
- Give the packer the weight, centre of gravity and approved fixing points.
- Agree how the receiver will release the bracing safely.
