Construction Types
Four-Loop
Four lift loops at corners. Standard design for forklift and crane handling. Most versatile.
Two-Loop
Two lift loops for side-loading applications. Common in confined spaces.
Single-Loop (Stevedore)
One central lift loop. Used in port and maritime operations.
Baffle Bag
Internal baffles maintain square shape when filled. Better stacking stability and warehouse space utilization.
Shipping Notes
Empty bulk bags ship flat in bales. A standard pallet holds 50-200 bags depending on fabric weight. Filled bags are weight-bound: at the one-ton bag's 2,200-lb load, the 45,000-lb payload caps a 53-ft trailer at about 20 bags in a single layer, below its 26-30 floor positions; lighter fills go to space.
