Due to the size and weight of Soil Stabilization Units, shipping is typically done as either FCL (Full Container Load) or OOG (Out of Gauge) cargo. Breakbulk shipping is less common, used only for exceptionally large units or highly customized loading.
Suitable if units fit within standard 20ft or 40ft container dimensions and weight limits. Units are secured using appropriate lashing and bracing methods within the container.
Required if units exceed standard container dimensions or weight limits. This necessitates specialized handling and transport, potentially using flat racks or open-top containers, and may involve Breakbulk shipping for certain ports/destinations. Heavy-lift cranes are needed for loading/unloading.
Used for exceptionally large units or highly customized loading arrangements not feasible within a container.
Units should be adequately protected with appropriate cushioning materials (e.g., bubble wrap, foam padding) to prevent damage during transit. Secure bracing within the container is crucial. Clear and durable labeling indicating "Fragile" or "Handle with Care" as needed is essential. Specific packaging may depend on the unit's design and material.
Packaging requirements are more stringent for OOG shipments due to increased risk of damage. Units may require custom crating or specialized wrapping to withstand potential impacts and weather exposure. Robust labeling is crucial, clearly indicating weight, dimensions, and handling instructions. Shipping International provides specific packaging guidelines.
Accurate and complete documentation is crucial for smooth and efficient shipping. Required documents may vary by destination and shipping method.
Shipping costs vary significantly depending on several factors:
The choice between FCL and OOG depends on the precise dimensions and weight of your Soil Stabilization Units.
