Intermodal container movement is based on the ability to double stack containers for safe movement from orgin to destination.
There are rules that govern the safe movement of containers.
01. Hazardous material must have prior authorization from Phoenix Service Center for inland transit.
Must have proper product identification.
Must have proper placards.
Must not exceed legal street weight.
Must have proper blocking and bracing.
02. Tank containers are not rated same as standard container.
03. Dimensional loads must have prior authorization from Phoenix service Center for inland transit.
Must not exceed legal street weight.
Must have proper blocking and bracing.
04. Overweight containers may result in an accident, causing the handler to tip over. Weight should not exceed container allowable weight. Not all rail ramps have the ability to scale the weight of containers nor is the ramp equipped with the same "lifting" machines.
