Precisely determine your mobile cattle sorting unit's dimensions (length, width, height), weight, and any special features. This includes hydraulic systems, delicate components, and unique aspects. Detailed photographs and engineering drawings are essential for accurate quoting and planning.
Due to size and nature, an Out of Gauge (OOG) shipment is almost always necessary. Consider Breakbulk shipping for exceptionally large or oddly shaped units. Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is generally unsuitable.
Shipping International offers expertise in heavy lift and OOG cargo transport within the UK. Consider factors such as comprehensive insurance, robust tracking, relevant certifications (e.g., ISO 9001), reliable carrier relationships, and specialised OOG handling equipment.
Obtain export/import licenses, customs documentation (commercial invoice, packing list), and any permits required for moving agricultural equipment internationally. Consult the UK government's website for detailed guidance on export and import regulations.
Your unit requires robust, seaworthy crating to withstand ocean transit. Consult Shipping International to determine appropriate materials and construction methods. Consider high-quality plywood (e.g., marine-grade plywood with a minimum thickness of 18mm) and reinforced steel bracing.
Arrange specialised heavy-lift vehicles to transport the unit from its origin to the port of loading and from the port of discharge to its final destination. Vehicles must handle the weight and dimensions of the crated unit.
Shipping International will arrange heavy-lift cranes and other specialised equipment to safely load the unit onto the chosen vessel.
Select a vessel capable of handling OOG cargo with suitable port calls for your origin and destination.
Obtain comprehensive cargo insurance to cover potential damage or loss during transit. Ensure the policy adequately covers your mobile cattle sorting unit's value.
Regularly monitor shipment progress using Shipping International's tracking system.
Shipping International will handle customs clearance at both origin and destination ports, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
Arrange for delivery to the final destination and safe uncrating. Ensure appropriate heavy-lift equipment is available for unloading.
Potential challenges include port congestion, weather delays, and unforeseen logistical issues.
