How to Ship Steel Strip Heating Units
Shipping Method
Steel strip heating units are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) in either a 20' or 40' container. Exceptionally large or heavy units may require OOG (Out of Gauge) shipment using a flat rack container. Breakbulk shipment is uncommon.
Weight and Dimensions
Accurately determine the weight and dimensions of each heating unit, including packaging. Use certified scales for weight and accurate measuring tools for dimensions. Provide these details to ensure accurate freight costing and container selection. Consider the weight and dimensions of pallets and any additional packaging materials.
Packaging
Units should be securely palletized to prevent damage during transit. Use appropriate dunnage and wrapping to protect against shock and vibration. For OOG shipments, specialized crating may be necessary.
Insurance
Securing cargo insurance is recommended to protect against loss or damage during transit. Shipping International can provide information on insurance options.
