Before shipping, meticulously determine your robotic crop dusting machine's dimensions, weight, center of gravity, and any fragile components. High-quality photographs and detailed specifications are crucial for accurate assessment and planning.
FCL suits machines that can be disassembled and packaged to fit standard containers. Careful crating and bracing are paramount.
For machines exceeding standard container dimensions, OOG shipping requires specialized equipment and handling. Thorough handling plans, permits, and route surveys are essential. Additional costs and complexities are expected.
For machines exceeding OOG capabilities, Breakbulk shipping involves individually securing and loading onto a vessel. It's the most expensive option, demanding specialized techniques. Careful planning and expertise are crucial.
Custom crating is mandatory. Use high-quality materials (plywood or steel) with internal bracing. Clearly label crates with "Fragile," "Handle with Care," weight, dimensions, and contact information.
Adequate cargo insurance should be secured. The appropriate level of coverage should be considered.
Consider proximity, infrastructure, handling fees, and potential delays when selecting a port.
Ensure compliance with import/export regulations and customs procedures. Provide all necessary documentation promptly and be prepared for potential delays.
Reliable inland transportation to/from the port should be arranged. OOG and Breakbulk require specialized heavy-lift transport.
Choose a vessel appropriate for your cargo type and dimensions. Breakbulk requires vessels with sufficient deck space.
Readily available 24/7 emergency contact information for both shipper and receiver should be provided.
Shipment progress can be monitored using the tracking number.
Timely delivery should be arranged and the shipment inspected for damage upon arrival.
