Shipping a Portable Conveyor System

Shipping Your Portable Conveyor System From & To the UK

Shipping your portable conveyor system can vary depending on its size and weight. Here's a guide to help you:

Shipment Types:

• FCL (Full Container Load): Suitable for smaller, lighter systems. These can typically fit within a standard 20' or 40' container.
• OOG (Out of Gauge): Used for larger or heavier systems exceeding standard container dimensions or weight limits. This requires specialized handling and may utilize flat rack or open-top containers.
• Breakbulk: Necessary for very large or unusually shaped systems. Individual components are secured and shipped on pallets or directly onto the vessel.

Determining Your Shipment Type:

The most appropriate shipment type depends entirely on the dimensions and weight of your portable conveyor system. Shipping International can assist in determining the best option.

Packaging Guidelines:

Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage during transit. Sturdy wooden crates or custom-built packaging tailored to your system's dimensions are recommended. Use ample padding (e.g., bubble wrap, foam) to protect against impacts and vibration. Secure all components firmly to prevent shifting. Consider bracing for extra support, especially for larger or more fragile parts.

Documentation Requirements:

Ensure you have the following documentation prepared before shipping: Commercial Invoice, Packing List (detailing each item, weight, and dimensions), Bill of Lading (issued by the carrier), Certificate of Origin (if required by the destination country), and any necessary export licenses or permits.

Cost Estimation Factors:

Shipping costs are influenced by several factors: the dimensions and weight of your conveyor system, the origin and destination, the chosen shipment type, insurance coverage, and any additional handling or customs fees.
