Durian has a thick rind but hard spines and soft, custardy flesh, and problems such as compression damage, husk cracking, and flesh spoilage frequently arise during transport. The durian transport container is the core carrier for cross-border and trunk-line movement of durian, and the loading layout, securing method, and stacking practices inside the container all affect how intact the fruit remains in transit. Optimizing the transport process with sound protective measures can reduce compression loss during warehousing, loading and unloading, and ocean and inland transport.

Scientifically planning the loading layout is the foundational step in reducing compression damage. The regularity of the interior space of a durian transport container affects the stress state of every layer of cargo. Because durian fruit vary in size, disorderly placement creates localized stress concentration. Operators should standardize the placement angle of the fruit, adjust the orientation of the spines, and stagger the contact points between layers. Uniform ventilation gaps are reserved inside the container, and single-container loading density is controlled. Planning placement zones in line with the container's load-bearing parameters disperses internal pressure and reduces the compression loss caused by static stacking, adapting to a range of bulk-transport scenarios.

Adding cushioning and protective structures guards against the compression risks brought by dynamic transport. Long-haul ocean shipping and trunk-line road transport involve continuous jolting and the sway of vehicle starts and stops. Protective padding can be laid inside the durian transport container to fill the idle gaps between the container and the cargo. Rigid divider boards are added between layers to isolate direct contact between upper and lower fruit, and flexible material is packed into empty spaces to limit fruit displacement during transport. Such protective measures suit different transport routes and the usage needs of durian transport containers of various specifications.

Standardizing stacking and handling operations avoids the damage caused by improper manual work. The durian transport container should be kept level and even to prevent cargo shifting and compression from container tilt. Operations should follow a mode of steady-speed handling and smooth setting-down, eliminating non-standard actions such as dragging and rapid stacking. Stacking layers should be controlled with reference to the container's load-bearing standard, easing the pressure on the bottom layer of fruit and maintaining the overall stability of the cargo inside the container.

Compression damage to durian in cold chain transport mostly stems from unreasonable layout, missing protective measures, and non-standard operating procedures. Optimizing the internal loading structure of the durian transport container, pairing it with suitable cushioning material, and standardizing loading, unloading, and stacking practices can substantially reduce cargo loss. Logistics practitioners can flexibly adjust their methods according to transport distance and container specifications, continuously refining the protection system of the durian transport container to enhance the overall stability of durian cold chain transport and keep pace with the standardized development of perishable logistics.
