Intermediatebulkcontainer Specification

This guide is part of a series of loading guides that provide tips and tricks to help you understand good load restraint. More detailed information on the principles covered by this guide can be found on page 125 of the Load Restraint Guide 2018.

If any of these IBCs were to shift or fall during transport, they could cause serious injury or death to other road users or damage to road infrastructure. If they were filled with hazardous chemicals this could be an environmental disaster.

Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) are industrial grade reusable containers engineered for the mass handling, transport, and storage of liquids, semi-solids, pastes, or solids.

Where a suitably engineered blocking structure is not available, use crossover straps to block the load at the front. Loads that are blocked require less lashings to meet the performance standards and loading requirements.

You can also take the Quest off your head and place it somewhere to charge. You won’t be able to see the screen anymore, but you can monitor the charge level via a small light on the side of the headset.

In this example a step deck trailer is loaded with 2x7 rows of IBCs on the lower deck and 2x3 rows of IBCs on the top deck. The loading decks on the trailer are completely full, no gaps.

IBCpackaging meaning

Where possible block against a headboard or use packing to provide the blocking. The use of non-rated headboards or gates is not advised.

The Oculus Quest advertises as the next level of VR gaming and promises a wireless experience with easy setup. Unless you’re colorblind.

IBCs placed directly on a steel deck and not blocked require multiple lashings and may crush the frames. The amount of restraint required to ensure safety is excessive and impractical.

Note: The NHVR strongly recommends where the coefficient of friction is very low or low (below 0.3) and the load is not blocked, safe loading practices must incorporate a friction medium, such as timber dunnage, timber pallets, or load mat to increase the coefficient of friction.

The headset still needs to be charged from time to time. Monitoring the battery level with the headset on is easy. The battery levels are shown as percentages in the Quest interface for both the headset and its controllers.

The Oculus Quest is a Virtual Reality headset, made by Facebook. Advertised as the All-In-One, next level of VR gaming, the Quest promises a wireless experience with easy setup.

The charge levels are usable for the colorblind, both an icon and a text label show the percentage. This way, users have multiple information sources and won’t have to use color.

Steel or plastic framed IBCs on steel loading decks have very low friction and require multiple lashings to restrain the load. Place IBCs with low friction bases on timber or rubber load mat to improve the coefficient of friction.

IBCmeaning in shipping

Applying the tables on page 248 of the Load Restraint Guide, 6 straps per row are required due to the very low friction between the IBC and the deck (steel on steel).

The charging light uses a green, orange and red color scheme for the different charge levels. Green for charged, orange for charging and red for low battery.

The colorblind have trouble naming the color and seeing the difference between the three states of the charging light. This makes it difficult to impossible for the colorblind to see whether the device is still charging or empty.

Liquid slosh and surge in partially filled IBCs can affect the vehicles stability and will add pressure on the load restraint system. Where possible fill IBCs completely or to the fill line. This will reduce slosh and surging as much as possible.

The IBCs are filled with water and weigh 1000kg. The steel framed IBCs are sitting on a steel deck which has a very low static friction (0.2). The push-up type 50mm webbing ratchet is capable of a pre-tension of around 300kgf.

If filled with 1100 litres of AdBlue, the complete IBC weighs around 1270kgs, but if filled with Chlorine, the IBC weighs around 1785kgs. It is important to know the correct weight of your load to enable you to calculate the number of restraints required to ensure it is sufficiently restrained.
