Mobile Cold Chain Units/Refrigerated Container Units. Dimensions and weight will vary depending on the specific unit. Dimensions and weight should be provided for accurate assessment.
Mobile Cold Chain Units are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) in either a 20ft or 40ft reefer container. Each unit usually occupies a single container.
Units exceeding standard container dimensions or weight limits are classified as OOG (Out of Gauge) cargo. This requires specialized handling and may involve:
Proper packaging and securing are crucial to prevent damage. Units should be cleaned and inspected before shipping. Use appropriate padding (e.g., bubble wrap, foam) to protect vulnerable areas. Secure the unit within the container using robust straps, wedges, and blocking to prevent movement. Consider using anti-vibration materials.
Maintaining the correct temperature is critical. Specify the required temperature range. Utilize reefer containers with reliable temperature control systems. Employ temperature monitoring devices with data logging capabilities. Establish contingency plans for addressing temperature deviations.
Adhere to all relevant UK and international regulations for shipping refrigerated goods. Ensure compliance with any specific requirements for potentially hazardous materials (if applicable).
