The SJY Walkable Scissor Lift is shipped fully collapsed, wrapped in multiple layers of stretch film, and reinforced with cardboard protection at impact-prone points before being forklifted into a standard 40-foot container, where two units are loaded side by side and secured with wooden blocking and rope lashing. This packing method is designed to prevent dust, moisture, scratching, and shifting during long-distance ocean freight. Below is a detailed breakdown of the packaging materials, protective measures, and step-by-step container loading process used for every SJY Walkable Scissor Lift shipment.
Before loading, each SJY Walkable Scissor Lift goes through a three-part packaging process focused on collapsing the machine, wrapping it for protection, and reinforcing vulnerable areas.
The scissor lift is first fully collapsed, with the scissor structure lowered to its minimum height. The entire machine is then tightly wrapped in multiple layers of transparent stretch film, covering the platform guardrails, main body, scissor arms, and all exposed hydraulic lines. This wrapping protects the unit against dust, scratching, and moisture, and helps prevent impact damage and rust during ocean transit.
Cardboard or carton shielding is added at the top of the machine and around corners — the areas most prone to impact during handling. Product markings and identification labels are affixed to this cardboard so each unit stays traceable throughout shipping. This reinforcement cushions impact from crane lifting and forklift handling, protecting the platform's upper edge and guardrails.
The SJY Walkable Scissor Lift ships with its original wheels and tow handle still attached — the wheels are not removed for shipping. This makes it easier to reposition the machine within the factory yard and maneuver it into place inside the container. A "5 km/h speed limit" warning label remains visible at the base of the unit as a handling reminder.
The SJY Walkable Scissor Lift is loaded using a forklift and a mobile hydraulic loading ramp, with two units placed side by side inside a standard 40-foot ocean freight container.
A Heli forklift, paired with a container loading ramp (a mobile hydraulic dock ramp), is used at the factory yard. The forklift lifts and transports the wrapped scissor lift from the factory grounds into the container. The loading ramp is positioned between the ground and the container's rear doors, giving the forklift a drivable slope to enter and exit the container safely.
A standard 40-foot ocean freight container holds two SJY Walkable Scissor Lift units, positioned side by side. Wooden blocks or dunnage are placed under each unit to separate the equipment from the container floor, preventing sliding during transport and adding a layer of moisture protection. Once both units are in place, rope lashing secures the equipment to guard against shifting caused by ocean swells during long-haul shipping.（Note: The exact number of units that can fit in a 40-foot container depends on the specific product dimensions. Not all models can be placed side by side in pairs.）
The complete process follows this order:
Wrap and package the unit in the factory workshop
Forklift the wrapped unit to the container yard
Drive the forklift up the loading ramp and position the unit inside the container
Secure the unit with wooden blocking and rope lashing
Complete loading and seal the container for ocean departure
The scissor lift fully packed in the workshop, with the entire machine completely wrapped in stretch film.
A forklift lifts the packaged scissor lift, ready to load it into the container; the top of the equipment is protected with a cardboard box.
The forklift drives on the boarding ramp and enters through the container door.
Inside the container, two scissor lifts are placed side by side in position, secured with wooden blocks underneath.
1.Strap Securing
After the two scissor lifts are loaded into the container, orange high-strength straps are used to tighten and secure the units as a whole. The straps are connected diagonally and crosswise from the outer sides of the equipment, forming a stable load-bearing structure to prevent the equipment from swaying side to side, tipping over, or colliding with the container side walls during transportation.
2.Triangular Wood Block Securing
Triangular wood blocks / dunnage are used to limit movement under the traveling wheels or chassis at the bottom of the equipment. The triangular wood blocks are placed tightly against the front and rear positions of the wheels or equipment base to prevent slipping and shifting, especially avoiding displacement of the units during sea transport turbulence or sudden braking.
3.Packaging Protection
The equipment as a whole has been wrapped in transparent stretch film. The guardrails, platform, scissor structure, and exposed parts are all covered, providing protection against dust, scratches, and moisture, making it suitable for long-term container transportation.
1.Horizontal Placement of the Product
The equipment is loaded into the container in a horizontal position, usually to make fuller use of the internal container space or to ensure safe placement based on the equipment's height and structural characteristics. When placed horizontally, the center of gravity of the equipment must be kept stable, and deformation of the hydraulic cylinders, pipelines, and guardrails due to pressure must be avoided.
2.Cross Strap Securing
Orange straps are used to cross-bind the exterior of the equipment. The straps form multiple securing points from the top and middle to the bottom, tightening the equipment inside the container. This "X-shaped" cross securing effectively restricts forward, backward, left, and right movement of the equipment, improving transportation safety.
3.Triangular Wood Block Securing
Triangular wood blocks are also placed under the bottom of the equipment to block the base or wheels and prevent the equipment from sliding inside the container. Combined with strap securing, this forms a dual protection of "upper tightening + lower limiting."
How many SJY Walkable Scissor Lift units fit in one shipping container?
A standard 40-foot container holds two SJY Walkable Scissor Lift units, loaded side by side and secured with wooden blocking and rope lashing.
Are the wheels removed from the SJY Walkable Scissor Lift before shipping?
No. The wheels and tow handle stay attached during shipping, which makes it easier to move the unit within the yard and position it inside the container.
What protects the SJY Walkable Scissor Lift from moisture and rust during ocean freight?
Multiple layers of transparent stretch film cover the entire machine, while wooden blocks under the unit separate it from the container floor to add further moisture protection.
Does the packaging protect the scissor lift during crane lifting and forklift handling?
Yes. Cardboard reinforcement at the top and corners of the unit absorbs impact from crane lifting and forklift handling, protecting the platform's upper edge and guardrails.
