Agricultural bale wrappers are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load). This is the most efficient and cost-effective method for shipping this relatively large and robust equipment.
Standard shipping containers are generally suitable. The specific container size (e.g., 20ft, 40ft) will depend on the dimensions and quantity of wrappers being shipped.
Proper lashing and bracing methods are crucial to secure the bale wrappers within the container during transit. This prevents damage and ensures safe arrival. Use appropriate dunnage to fill any void spaces.
If the quantity is too small for a full container, LCL shipment may be necessary. However, this is less efficient and more expensive than FCL. Careful packaging is crucial for LCL shipments.
OOG or Breakbulk shipment is only necessary for exceptionally large or heavy wrappers exceeding standard container dimensions and weight limits. This is uncommon for typical agricultural bale wrappers.
To protect bale wrappers during transit, use sturdy pallets for support. Wrap individual wrappers in protective material such as shrink wrap or bubble wrap. Use corner protection to prevent damage to vulnerable edges and corners. Securely fasten the pallets to prevent shifting during transit.
Necessary shipping documents include a commercial invoice, packing list detailing the contents and quantity of each package, and a bill of lading (B/L) serving as a contract of carriage.
It is recommended to obtain cargo insurance to cover potential losses or damages during shipment. This protects against unforeseen circumstances such as accidents, theft, or damage during transit.
