As integrated die-casting mold bases continue to grow in dimension and tonnage, product transportation has become a new technical challenge. Recently, Horizon Mold shipped an ultra-large mold base to a European customer successfully by using frame containers for the first time. The mold base is over 6 meters in length and nearly 30 tons in weight, too large to fit into conventional standard containers. In addition, ordinary packaging cannot withstand the vibration, humidity and stacking pressure during long-distance sea transportation.

To address this issue, Horizon Mold’s logistics and technical teams worked closely together to customize a high-strength frame container solution tailored to the structural features of the mold base. It adopts a heavy-duty steel base at the bottom, equipped with detachable surrounding frames on all sides, along with multi-point anti-slip fixation and moisture-proof treatment.

Prior to shipment, the team conducted 3D container loading simulation and gravity center verification to ensure uniform stress distribution and prevent deformation of the mold base inside the frame container. Meanwhile, full-process vibration recorders and temperature & humidity sensors were installed with the cargo to realize visualized monitoring of the entire transportation process. The goods were finally loaded smoothly and delivered to the customer's factory in Europe with the mold base's appearance and precision intact.

This frame container shipment not only breaks the logistics bottleneck for the export of ultra-large mold bases, but also marks that Horizon Mold is fully capable of providing one-stop international logistics services covering the whole process from processing to final delivery.

Going forward, Horizon Mold will continue to optimize its heavy-cargo transportation solutions, shorten delivery lead times, and deliver safer and more efficient end-to-end support for the global mold base market.
