Used Combine Parts - Dense Container Consolidation for Ukraine
Meridian Freight received and stored a dealer's used combine parts until the order was complete, then packed the irregular, heavy components into one container in a dense three-dimensional layout. The cargo weighed about 15 metric tons; Meridian delivered the container to the Chicago terminal, and the client arranged the onward route to Ukraine.

The shipment
The dealer independently purchased a large assortment of used parts from U.S. agricultural dismantlers and salvage yards and delivered the components to Meridian's property. Meridian received and stored the cargo until the complete order was ready for consolidation. The principal challenge was fitting many irregular, heavy components into one container while maintaining stable weight distribution and a workable unloading sequence. Meridian developed a dense, three-dimensional arrangement similar to a Tetris layout, using the available voids around the larger parts. The cargo weighed approximately 15 metric tons. Meridian loaded, secured and delivered the container to the Chicago terminal without reported delay, damage or route change during its scope. The client arranged all transportation after Chicago. Meridian did not receive a damage claim or other complaint following handoff, but no independent final-delivery result is attributed.
