The transportation of alcoholic beverages, in particular wine, belongs to a special area of delicate cargo transportation. This process requires special care, accuracy and understanding of the specifics of the goods being moved.
Instructions
Step 1
There are special requirements for the carriage of wines established at the state level. So, when transporting these alcoholic beverages, it is necessary to observe a certain temperature regime - as a rule, within the range of 11-12 ° C. If the transportation of wines is carried out over short distances and the air temperature is slightly different from the required one, then transportation in ordinary trucks is allowed.
Step 2
When transporting wines over long distances, special isothermal vans and refrigerators are used with temperature losses not exceeding 2-3 ° C per day. Transportation of unpackaged liquid wines is carried out using tank bodies equipped with thermal insulation. The consignor specifies the specific allowable temperature range for the transportation of these drinks, indicating the numbers in the corresponding bill of lading.
Step 3
When transporting wines, special attention is paid to securely securing the containers in which they are transported. Wine can be transported in glass and plastic bottles, bags packed in boxes, in barrels. If wine in bottles is transported over a long distance, the container is given a horizontal position, so that the inside of the cork is in contact with the liquid. The transportation of wine in boxes is carried out taking into account the permissible maximum stacking height, which is usually indicated on the box. Stretch marks, belts or clamps are used to reinforce the products in the van.
Step 4
Correct transportation of wine requires darkening of the vehicle space, the cargo must be protected from solar and neon radiation. Therefore, the transportation of wines is carried out only in covered vans, this requirement is especially important for transparent containers.
Step 5
An important requirement for the transportation of bottled wine is the absence of extraneous pungent odors. Corks do not guarantee 100% protection against the penetration of foreign aromas into bottles with products, this issue is especially relevant when transporting over long distances.
Step 6
Transportation of wines requires accompanying documents for the products, and sometimes the presence of an accompanying freight forwarder from the shipping company or the recipient. The route for the transportation of these drinks should be developed taking into account the fragility of the container and, if necessary, include transfer points-warehouses that meet all the requirements for the storage of alcoholic beverages of this type.
