§Study material — port and terminal trade
This page brings together the most important concepts from the trade so you have a quick reference when you study or need to explain a workflow. Use it together with the articles and templates.
You should be able to explain this
- 01How goods move through the terminal: in, registered, stored, out
- 02Why the container standard is crucial to modern logistics
- 03What you should know before lifting: weight, centre of gravity and load capacity
- 04How load is secured so it doesn't shift in any direction
- 05What machines are used for what goods
Central concepts
| Concept | Short explanation |
|---|---|
| Container | Standardized case with fixed dimensions and corner hardware |
| Bulk cargo | PLACEHOLDER_43 |
| Piece goods | Single pieces such as pipes or machine parts |
| Reachstacker | Machine: model identification and operating hours. |
| Spreader | Handle that engages the container's corner castings |
| Load securing | Lashing and bracing cargo so that it doesn't shift |
| Load-bearing capacity | The maximum load a machine or device is permitted to lift |
Safety at a glance
- 01Wear visible clothing and stay in marked areas
- 02Always follow the same sequence when a defect appears: material (is it the right, clean and dry?), machine (temperature, pressure, time), and finally mold (wear, ventilation, cooling). If you jump around, you risk changing several things at once and never finding the real cause.
- 03Know weight and load capacity before each lift
- 04Check lifting equipment and machine before use.
- 05Report errors, damage and waste immediately
Check yourself
- 01Can you name three different cargo types and the equipment they are handled with?
- 02Can you explain why planning before a ship arrives saves time?
- 03Can you describe a safe lift step by step?
