Confirm The Required Format

Start with the receiving customer’s CP number or pallet drawing. CP formats are used in industrial handling briefs, including bags and drums, but the actual load and operation decide the construction needed. If a format has not been selected, describe the goods and the equipment that will handle them.

Compare The Base As Well As The Size

The CP1–CP9 product page includes the reference footprint and base arrangement for each format, with individual construction illustrations. Compare skid bases and perimeter bases against the handling brief. CP8 also has a central discharge opening to consider where that function is required.

Equal length and width do not make two CP formats interchangeable. Check runner layout, entry openings, overall height, deck spacing and the intended supports.

Describe Bags, Drums Or Other Goods

For bags, share dimensions, packing pattern and any sagging or protrusion concerns. For drums, include the number, diameter, gross weight and contact points. Explain whether the goods sit directly on the deck or use another tray or support. Provide the total load and how it is distributed.

For a drum-specific brief, also review wooden pallets for drums.

Agree Handling, Timber And Dispatch

Give the fork-entry direction, pallet-jack requirements, floor or rack supports and reuse plan. Timber species, sections, moisture condition and fasteners belong in the agreed specification. For export shipments, add destination and treatment requirements; for domestic enquiries, include delivery city and receiving-site access.

Use the handling and load guide and export wood packaging overview to complete the brief. Price and timing depend on the confirmed construction and order quantity.
