What should be done if door inward deformation exceeds the acceptable measurement?

When assessing door inward deformation on a dry van, it's crucial to adhere to specific benchmarks that indicate when repair is necessary. The correct approach is to initiate repairs once the inward deformation exceeds 30mm. This threshold is established to ensure the integrity of the dry van's structure and security. If deformation goes beyond this limit, it can lead to compromised functionality, safety concerns when loading and unloading cargo, and potential exposure to the elements, which can damage the interior contents.

The guideline to repair at 30mm is grounded in industry standards that aim to maintain the container's performance and ensure freight integrity. Regular monitoring of the deformation might be necessary, but without clear intervention thresholds, you risk allowing the deformation to worsen, which could affect overall cargo safety and container longevity. Other thresholds such as 25mm or 35mm may not be aligned with the established policy in the industry, making them incorrect options for determining the appropriate action in this scenario.
