Concertainer Unit Packaging
Many of the HESCO Concertainer Units come packaged in sections which are joined together at the site of construction to form a complete unit.  This is for a number of reasons but primarily it for ease of handling of the units on the ground by the construction operatives.  Units are packaged as follows:
 Unit

Unit Breakdown
 Mil 1
9 cell Concertainer
1 x 4 cells, 1 x 5 cells
 Mil 2

Optimum Packing For Transportation

While many packaging options are available, experience has led to the following optimum shipping configurations, based on stacking of units on timber skids or pallets. Generally these skids are then loaded into shipping containers, loaded on trailers or airlift pallets as appropriate. Units may be loaded in bulk into containers, which would provide for a greater capacity. Loading and unloading would be more difficult, so the practice is therefore not recommended.
