Monitoring with Safety Standards: “Working at heights has long been a leading cause of workplace fatalities, with falls from ladders contributing significantly to these grim statistics. Our team sought to find a solution that would address both safety concerns and the efficiency of monitoring the containers.”

The solution was to modify 40′ shipping containers to create stackable gantries. The containers feature reinforced side panels with easy-access windows, power points along both sides and a dedicated power board at one end. Each level is also equipped with safety stairs, chains and railings to prevent falls, ensuring a safer working environment for the team.

Customs Bonded (77G) Container Depot: For international shipments requiring customs clearance, we offer customs bonded warehousing options to streamline the process and reduce potential delays.

On arrival at the Western Container Services Depot, digital photos are taken on the doors with the seal intact. A digital photo is taken of the seal, displaying the seal number. The reefer temperature display photo is taken to check the temperature recorded on the BOL. The digital photos are downloaded into the job for that reefer container into the Depot software system.

All reefers in storage are monitored twice a day to ensure that the reefers are operating correctly and maintaining the pre-set temperatures. If there is a fault or problem with the reefer, the Broker or Importer is advised for a Reefer Technician to attend the depot. Records of the reefer monitoring are downloaded into the job for each reefer container.

A pre-advice email is required at least 24 hours prior to the reefer container being collected from the Western Containers Depot. The email must contain the container number and a copy of the Quarantine Released Direction.

Before the refrigerated container (reefer) is loaded onto transport, digital photos are taken of the doors with seal intact, the seal (clearly) displaying the seal number, temperature display. The temperature on the display is checked with the temperature which was advised by the Broker or Importer in the original pre-advice for reefer storage. If the digital photos match the information in the depot system the reefer container is booked out of the depot system and loaded onto transport.
