Aluminum Formwork Export Guide: Logistics, Transport, and Storage
The planning process for aluminium formwork system exports needs to address three main areas which include packaging and transport and storage to achieve delivery of complete and functional components. The aluminium formwork system includes lightweight panels and connection components and additional accessories which maintain their corrosion resistance yet become vulnerable to oxidation and deformation and surface damage through exposure to moisture and impacts and incorrect stacking during transportation. Export packaging needs to include protective elements which defend against specific hazards through design elements and protection materials which maintain their original form and prevent material breakdown from environmental exposure. Packaging strategies need to establish two main protection levels which include mechanical defense and environmental protection through moisture barriers and structural elements that keep their original position during all transportation activities.
