Not gonna lie the last quarter was brutal for cargo damage and I'm pretty sure our insurance provider is about to drop us if we file one more claim for shifted pallets. The whole thing has me looking at our container loading process and realizing we've been relying on scraps of timber and some very optimistic strapping that clearly isn't doing the job once the ship hits rough seas. I got a quote for those woven dunnage bags and the price per bag is reasonable enough but the supplier mentioned a dunnage bag inflator as an essential accessory and I'm trying to figure out if that's a genuine must have or just an upsell. Our guys are currently using a foot pump which probably takes forever and gives inconsistent pressure knowing how impatient they get by the end of a shift. For those of you who load containers regularly and actually care about what arrives at the other end, did switching to a proper inflator tool noticeably improve how well your bags hold or is it just a speed thing? I'll buy it if it means fewer headaches but I've been burned before buying tools that end up gathering dust in the corner.
