Shipping Hay Storage Units: A Guide

Shipping Methods

Hay storage units are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) within a standard dry cargo container. However, unusually large or heavy units may require OOG (Out of Gauge) shipment, necessitating specialized handling. In rare cases, where units exceed even OOG capabilities, Breakbulk shipping might be necessary.
