Shipping Robotic Textile Handling Stations

Shipping Methods

Robotic Textile Handling Stations are typically shipped as either FCL (Full Container Load) or OOG (Out of Gauge) cargo, depending on their size and weight. Breakbulk shipping is a less common option, used only for very large disassembled components.

FCL (Full Container Load)

Most cost-effective for robots fitting within standard 20ft or 40ft containers. Secure fastening with lashing and dunnage is crucial.

OOG (Out of Gauge)

Necessary for robots exceeding standard container dimensions. Requires specialized handling, potentially flat racks or open-top containers, and may involve Breakbulk shipping for parts of the journey. Detailed securing and handling plans are essential.

Breakbulk Shipping

Least common; used only when robots are disassembled into very large components unsuitable for FCL or OOG. Keeping robots intact is preferred.

Packaging Specifications

Robots must be crated using robust, weatherproof materials. Internal cushioning (e.g., bubble wrap, foam padding) is essential to prevent damage during transit. Clear, durable labeling indicating "Fragile," "Handle with Care," weight, dimensions, and contact information is required. Specific crate designs may be necessary depending on the robot's shape and size. Information on detailed packaging recommendations is available.

Insurance and Liability

Shipping insurance is recommended to cover potential damage or loss during transit. Liability is typically determined by the terms of the shipping contract (Bill of Lading). Information on insurance options and liability responsibilities is available.

Customs and Documentation

Necessary documentation includes commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and potentially other documents depending on the specific goods and destination country. Import/export regulations vary by country. Delays can occur due to customs inspections. Information on assistance with customs documentation and compliance is available.
