What devanning a floor-loaded box involves
Hand unloading
Cartons come out one at a time. There is no forklift shortcut for a box loaded to the ceiling without pallets.
Building onto pallets
Product is stacked onto standard 40” × 48” pallets, squared and stretch-wrapped so it can be moved and stored.
Counted by pallet, not by hour
Billing is $85 per pallet built, so the number is known once the pallet count is known, rather than moving with how long the crew took.
Sorting on the way out
Mixed cartons can be separated by SKU or by destination as they come off, rather than after the fact.
Straight to storage or straight out
Built pallets can take a storage position, cross the dock onto an outbound truck, or go to marketplace prep.
Container pickup
Container pickup and drop from the terminal and rail ramps, so the box goes back before per diem compounds.
What does unloading a floor-loaded container cost?

What we need to quote a devanning
A warehouse cannot price freight it cannot see. Send these and you get a real number instead of a range.
- Container size and type, and confirmation it is floor-loaded rather than palletized
- Carton count, or an estimate, and roughly what each carton weighs
- What the product is, and whether cartons are uniform
- Whether pallets need sorting by SKU or destination
- Whether the built pallets go to storage, outbound or prep
- When the container is available, and whether you need it collected
