Comparative analysis of the factors which have an impact on the delivery of pallet cargo
The research objective is to demonstrate that the delivery of general cargo is influenced by various factors: vehicle dimensions, type of transport container, stowage modes of a cargo unit allocation on transport container and more. Research is based on a comparative analysis method using specific criteria of economic assessment. As a result of this research the application areas of cargo container depending on the specified parameters of general cargo are defined. It is demonstrated that a complete technical and economic feasibility study of pallet shipment should be done. Besides, the expenses on transport container usage should be taken into account as well as those forming a unit load.
