Shipping Studio Track Systems

Shipping Options

Depending on size and weight, Studio Track Systems are typically shipped as either FCL (Full Container Load) or OOG (Out of Gauge) cargo. Breakbulk is less common unless the systems are exceptionally large or irregularly shaped.

FCL (Full Container Load)

If your systems can be disassembled and packaged to fit within a standard 20ft or 40ft container, FCL is the most efficient and cost-effective method. This involves crating or palletizing the equipment for secure transport.

OOG (Out of Gauge)

If your systems are too large or heavy for a standard container, they'll be classified as OOG. This requires specialised handling, potentially including flat rack containers or Breakbulk shipping. Securement and lashing are crucial. Provide detailed dimensions and weight for accurate assessment.

Packaging Specifications

FCL

Use sturdy wooden crates or pallets. Ensure adequate bracing to prevent shifting during transit. Use cushioning materials (e.g., bubble wrap, foam) to protect against impact. Clearly label all packages with contents, weight, dimensions, and handling instructions.

OOG

Specialized packaging may be required depending on the system's dimensions and fragility. Shipping International recommends consulting with a logistics expert for recommendations. Securement and lashing are critical for OOG shipments. Clear and comprehensive labeling is essential.

Documentation Requirements

  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Bill of Lading
  • Certificate of Origin (if required)
  • Insurance Certificate (recommended)
  • Import/Export Licenses (if applicable)

Cost Estimation

Shipping costs depend on dimensions, weight, origin, destination, insurance, and chosen shipping method (FCL or OOG).
