Shipping Large-Scale Multiplexers from the UK

Assessing Your Cargo

Precise Specifications are Key

Accurate dimensions, weight, and center of gravity are crucial. Classify your multiplexer as Oversized/Out-of-Gauge (OOG) or Breakbulk cargo. Provide detailed specifications and engineering drawings. Shipping International will handle this process.

Packaging & Crating

Customised Crating for Optimal Safety

Oversized and out-of-gauge shipments require robust, customized crates. Breakbulk cargo may need specialized lifting frames or skidding systems. High-quality materials (plywood, steel) are essential. Consider environmental protection (waterproofing, climate control). Shipping International uses best practices for packaging and crating.
