3 Cargo carriers
Shipment of products shall be made exclusively with the following cargo carriers at all HORSCH locations:
• Pallets or wire mesh pallets • Cartons • Special cargo carriers
All deviating types of packaging must be agreed on separately with HORSCH. Welding assemblies as well as oversized materials are exempt from this regulation. These articles may be shipped unpackaged where it must be ensured that they can be moved with common floor conveyors. In addition, the requirements provided in this manual for packaging special product groups (see section 5 "Packaging requirements for product groups") as well as material-specific packaging regulations must be complied with. The material-specific requirements are printed on the HORSCH purchase order.
3.1 Pallets and wire mesh pallets
3.1.1 Use of standardised, exchangeable cargo carriers When delivering product on pallets or wire mesh pallets, only standardised exchangeable cargo carriers shall be used. Shipments from countries where cargo carriers according to German or European Standard are not available constitute an exception. These exceptions shall be agreed on with HORSCH before the first delivery. Euro-pallets must correspond to the UIC standard 435-2 (integrated in DIN 13691-1). The standard includes dimensions of 1200x800x144 mm as well as a tare weight of 20-24 kg.
Figure 1: Euro-pallet according to UIC standard 435-2
Wire mesh pallets must correspond to UIC standard 435-3. The standard includes dimensions of 1200x835x970 mm as well as a tare weight of approx. 70-80 kg.

It must be noted in general that with the shipments of product on euro-pallets or wire mesh pallets exchange of the cargo carriers is made only when the cargo carrier
• is undamaged • bears an identification code • is in good general condition.
The final decision whether an exchange of cargo carriers is made is up to the goods receiving office of the respective HORSCH location.
3.1.2 Use of one-way cargo carriers For deliveries from countries where cargo carriers according to German or European Standard are not available the one-way cargo carriers used must correspond to the dimensions of a euro-pallet (1200x800 mm). Because of their size some products may require the use of pallets with different dimensions. Such cases shall be agreed on with HORSCH before the first delivery.
3.1.3 Weight of cargo The gross weight (weight of cargo plus weight of cargo carrier) of a pallet or wire mesh pallet must never exceed 1 000 kg.
3.1.4 Cargo dimensions The basic dimensions of the cargo carrier shall not be exceeded by the cargo and cargo securing means. To ensure troublefree transport on automatic conveyor sections the skids of the pallets must remain clear and the ends of the packaging material (e.g. stretch film) must not hang down loosely.
3.2 Cartons
If because of the product dimensions or the delivery quantity cartons must be used for shipment they must guarantee adequate protection of the goods. Special attention must be paid to the stability of the carton and the right filling material.
Page 6
Generally, the following requirements need to be observed when using cartons: • Weight of a carton max. 30 kg (alternative on carrier pallet) • Practical dimensions of the cartons when stacking them on pallets (utilising the
pallet volume!) Prior coordination with HORSCH may also be useful when using cartons. This concerns especially articles shipped regularly and in larger quantities.
3.3 Special cargo carriers
Certain articles, because of their dimensions, properties or other circumstances, require special packaging or a special cargo carrier. Such articles are considered separately since an individual agreement must be made for each of these articles. This agreement must have been discussed between HORSCH and supplier before the first shipment. Documentation of the agreement depends on the respective situation. In many cases these cargo carriers are exchanged between HORSCH and supplier, and a respective agreement must be made here too.

3.4 Reusable packaging
Many suppliers use special packaging and auxiliary packaging means, matching their product groups, to ensure the safe and practical delivery of the products. Such packaging can also be used upon consultation for the delivery at HORSCH. Setting up an exchange system is often practical for these special means of packaging. The organisation and documentation of this reusable packaging method must be discussed in detail with HORSCH before the first shipment.
Page 8
4 Identification & Marking
Generally, each shipment of goods to HORSCH must be identified/marked to allow handling both transport and receipt of the product.
4.1 Addressing the shipment
Each shipment must bear the name and address of the receiving HORSCH plant at least once. It must be noted here that several HORSCH plants may have the same address and feature different incoming goods locations. The correct plant designation shall be marked on the bills of delivery and the shipment to ensure troublefree processing. Shipments shipped via transport systems (Courier, Express & Parcel Services or cargo) shall be marked in accordance with the requirements of the respective logistics provider
4.2 Identification/marking of the individual packages
Generally, all packages of a shipment shall be marked to allow for troublefree receipt of the goods. Identification/marking of the same type of packages must bear the following information:
• HORSCH material no. as plain text • HORSCH material no. as barcode (Code 39 or Code 128) • Material designation • Quantity • Unit of quantity
Packages with different articles (mixed pallets) must be marked, in addition, with a packing list containing the above information for each item. If cartons are delivered stacked on pallets either the pallet shall be identified with a packing list or the individual carton with items of the same kind bears the necessary information. Because of the wide variety of properties of the goods delivered at HORSCH, special solutions will be possible or required for identification and marking. Such solutions shall be discussed with HORSCH before the first delivery.

5 Packaging requirements for product groups
The packaging requirements for special product groups are listed in the following sections. Sorting is in ascending alphabetical order. The chapter number of the individual product groups may change if additional product groups are added. These regulations shall be used exclusively for the type of materials specified and apply also if they contradict the general packaging regulations in the above sections of this manual. In addition to the regulations for product groups additional packaging requirements may be defined for individual articles, which will be printed in the purchase order of this article. The article-specific requirements shall also be followed if they contradict the specifications outlined here.

5.1 Hydraulic hoses
5.1.1 Production plants of Horsch Maschinen GmbH in Schwandorf and Ronneburg (Plants 2000 and 2100)
At the production plants Schwandorf and Ronneburg hydraulic hoses are stored in special continuous flow racks to ensure a clean FIFO process with removal from stock. To be able to hang these hoses easily and without unnecessary work in the racks the following aspects must be kept in mind for delivery.
Figure 5: Continuous flow rack for hydraulic hoses
Preparation of the hoses for the continuous flow rack
Depending on the hose diameter and the hose length the hoses shall be delivered unwound (or as shown in the figure below) wound. The winding is held together with two cable ties (or similar). Care must be taken that no sharp edges develop at the ends of the cable ties up to hose diameter DN 10:
• unwound up to a length of 2100 mm • wound for lengths over 2100 mm
from hose diameter DN 12 • unwound up to length of 1900mm • wound for lengths over 1900mm
Figure 6: Wound hydraulic hose
Care must also be taken that between spigot nut and an assembly ring possibly used a distance of at least 4 mm is observed. This is necessary to be able to hang the
Page 11
hoses without problem on the continuous flow rails. The ring needs to be removed if the distance cannot be observed after pressing on the fitting.
Figure 7: Distance of spigot nut to hose coupling
Packaging
The hoses may be shipped in a packaging freely chosen by the supplier. Euro-pallets with carton attached to it have proven useful. It is generally useful to use packages with euro-dimensions. Different articles may be delivered within a package. However, it must be remembered that only hoses of the same standard diameter may be packaged together in a package. If several different hoses need to be packaged in a package they must be sorted according to article number and separated by dividing sheets. To facilitate checking the quantity for putting the items to stock in the continuous flow rack the hoses must be delivered bundled in units of 10 pieces. Bundling with 5 pieces each is also permitted for larger and relative long hoses. Bundling is only required for unwound hoses and is achieved with cable ties or similar.
Figure 8: Bundled hydraulic hoses
Marking of the delivered hoses
In addition to the embossing on the fittings stipulated in the technical specifications a label shall be affixed for easier identification. A label shall be affixed for each packing unit bearing the HORSCH material number, hose length and quantity. For bundled hoses one label (incl. number of pieces) is needed per bundle; for the wound unbundled hoses one label is needed per hose. The label is affixed to the cable tie to avoid possible label remnants on the hoses.

5.2 Hydraulic cylinders
Smaller cylinders (weight up to approx. 15 kg)
• Euro-pallet with (several) wooden add-on frames (alternatively upon consulting HORSCH also wire mesh pallets)
• To protect against paint damages, store in packaging foam or carton divider sheets
Figure 10: Packaging example for small hydraulic cylinders
Large cylinders (weight over 15 kg)
• Euro-pallet (alternatively upon consulting HORSCH also wire mesh pallets) with notched strips of timber
• Protection of paint coat through packaging foam or rubber liner on the strips of timber
• Secure fastening with tension straps • For cylinders with a length > 1200 mm: Protrusion of the cylinders on the short
side (package must not become wider than 800 mm) • If damage-free transport is not possible through the solution mentioned, the
product must be packaged completely (e.g. shrink-wrapped, wooden add-on frame, wooden crates, ...)
Figure 11: Packaging example for large hydraulic cylinders
Page 14
Small quantities
• Alternative packaging, e.g. wooden pallet 800x600 mm with add-on carton, sturdy carton material
• Packages preferable sorted according to kind also with small quantities
