Mistakes to Avoid While Handling FIBC Bags

• Forklift Damage
• The foremost factor you must pay attention to
  while handling FIBC Bags is the forklift, where
  numerous accidents, bag damage, and injuries
  happen. Sharp fork of a Forklift can result in
  tearing of loop/ cut on the bag if not properly
  handled.
• Hence, it is advisable to follow manufacturer
  handling guidelines and educate the forklift
  operator to always lift FIBC Bags with all four
  loops by inserting the forklift tines precisely
  and must have patience to lower slowly and lift
  the bag by paying utmost attention to edges.
• Also, the operator must maintain adequate space
  for eyesight view and avoid vision block. Heavy
  wooden pallets should always be pushed across the
  floor instead of lifting. These tips will avoid
  toppling off the bags and maintain sufficient
  space for pallets and bag movement.

• Wooden Pallets Damage
• You must pay meticulous attention to placing bags
  via forklift on Wooden Pallets, especially when
  stacked to their total capacity. A minuscule
  mistake while putting FIBC Bags on pallets can
  cause massive damage to inventory. Hence, you
  must lift bags with all four loops via forklift
  for bag safety and items inside them.
• It is advisable to keep pallets dry to prevent
  contamination from mold and other natural
  contaminants. Following the handling guidelines
  provided by your FIBC Bag manufacturer and
  wrapping pallets appropriately will prevent
  pallet damage.

• Incorrect Packaging
• You must pay utmost attention to the packaging of
  the products in the bag. The materials should be
  loaded efficiently and tied off properly from the
  top and bottom with the pallets for secured
  transportation.
• When the bags are stacked above their SWL limit,
  or there is an uneven distribution of items
  inside the bag, there are high chances of
  load-shifting, vibration, and damage to the
  inventory. Hence, you must stack materials inside
  all FIBC Bags proportionately to avoid hanging
  bags over the pallets edge. Also, follow the
  packing methods provided by your FIBC Bags
  manufacturer for the balance packing of products
  inside the bag.
