Shipping Mobile Water Filtration Systems
Shipping from & to the UK
This guide outlines the process of shipping mobile water filtration systems to and from the UK. The most suitable shipping method depends on the system's size and weight.
Shipment Types:
- FCL (Full Container Load): Suitable for systems fitting within a standard container and not exceeding weight limits. This is generally the most cost-effective option for appropriately sized systems.
- OOG (Out of Gauge): Required for oversized or overweight systems. This necessitates special handling, securing, and potentially higher costs.
- Breakbulk: Necessary for exceptionally large systems that don't fit within a standard container. Individual units are loaded directly onto the vessel, often resulting in the highest shipping costs.
Choosing the Right Shipping Method:
Before shipping, accurately determine your system's dimensions and weight. Information regarding shipping methods is available from Shipping International.
Shipping Process:
- Discuss your system's specifications and desired shipping destination.
- Receive a detailed quote outlining the costs associated with the chosen shipping method.
- Ensure the system is properly packaged and secured to prevent damage during transit. Packaging recommendations are available from Shipping International. (See Detailed Packaging Instructions below)
- Provide all necessary customs documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. (See Customs Regulations Specifics below)
- Shipping International will arrange for pickup and transport to the port. They will handle all necessary logistics, including customs clearance.
- Track your shipment's progress using the provided tracking number.
- Your system will be delivered to the specified destination.
Detailed Packaging Instructions:
Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage during transit. For mobile water filtration systems, the following is recommended:
- Crating: Use sturdy wooden crates custom-built to the system's dimensions. Ensure sufficient space for cushioning materials.
- Pallets: Secure the crate to a pallet for easier handling and stacking.
- Cushioning: Use high-quality cushioning materials such as bubble wrap, foam padding, or air pillows to fill any gaps and protect against shock and vibration. Avoid using loose packing peanuts.
- Securing: Use straps, bracing, and other appropriate methods to firmly secure the system within the crate to prevent movement during transit.
- Labeling: Clearly label the crate with "Fragile," "Handle with Care," and the shipping address.
