Accurately determine the dimensions (length, width, height), weight, and total quantity of mobile lighting towers. This crucial first step dictates the most appropriate shipping method. Options include Out-of-Gauge (OOG) shipping, Breakbulk shipping, or, exceptionally, Full Container Load (FCL) if the towers are small enough and can be disassembled for containerization. Detailed measurements are essential for accurate costing and planning.
Employ robust securing methods to prevent damage during transit. This includes:
Loading depends on the chosen shipping method:
Utilise heavy-duty transport vehicles equipped with specialised trailers designed for oversized and heavy cargo. Examples include:
Select a vessel capable of handling OOG or Breakbulk cargo. Common choices include:
Consider port capabilities to ensure the chosen vessel can safely berth and handle the cargo.
Prepare comprehensive documentation, including:
Obtain adequate cargo insurance to cover potential damage, loss, or theft during transit. Choose a policy that reflects the value and risk associated with your shipment.
Complete all necessary customs procedures and documentation at both origin and destination ports. Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and provide all required documentation to avoid delays.
