Shipping Your Industrial Shrink Wrap Ovens: A Guide

Shipping industrial shrink wrap ovens requires careful planning due to their size and weight. The best shipping method depends on the oven's dimensions and weight. This guide outlines the common options:

Shipment Options:

Full Container Load (FCL): Ideal for ovens fitting within standard 20ft or 40ft container dimensions and weight limits. This offers the best protection and cost-effectiveness.
Out of Gauge (OOG) Shipment: Necessary for oversized ovens exceeding standard container dimensions. This may involve specialized transport like flat racks or open-top containers, and potentially break-bulk shipping.
Breakbulk Shipping: Less common, used only for exceptionally large or heavy ovens where even OOG transport is impractical. Involves loading individual units directly onto a vessel, which is generally less efficient and more expensive.

Packaging Specifications:

Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage during transit. Industrial shrink wrap ovens should be crated using robust materials like plywood. Internal bracing is essential to prevent shifting during transport. Consider using corner protectors and padding to absorb shocks. Desiccant packs can help prevent moisture damage.

Determining the Right Shipping Method:

Accurate dimensions and weight are crucial for determining the most suitable shipping method. Shipping International can assess your cargo and recommend the optimal shipping solution.

Insurance Options:

Cargo insurance is highly recommended to protect against loss or damage during transit. Several coverage options exist, including Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) A, B, and C, each offering varying levels of protection. Discuss your specific needs with Shipping International to determine the appropriate level of coverage.

Import/Export Regulations:

Shipping industrial ovens internationally involves adhering to customs regulations in both the exporting and importing countries. Necessary documentation may include commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and potentially other permits or licenses depending on the specific oven and destination. Shipping International can assist with navigating these requirements.
