Container loading plans for oversize DN pipe

Open-top vs flat-rack vs bagged floaters — how we squeeze the most volume into every shipment.

Choose the equipment first

Up to DN 400, standard 40'HQ containers with nested pipe give the best freight cost. Above DN 500, open-top or flat-rack becomes unavoidable.

Nesting and bundling

Smaller diameters are nested inside larger ones and strapped in cradles; floaters ship as clamshell halves stacked into each other, roughly halving their shipping volume.

Documents and marking

Every bundle is tagged with DN, SDR/PN, batch and project reference so site crews can build the train in sequence without unpacking everything.
