Studio Power Systems Shipping Guide

Cargo Description

Provide a detailed list of equipment including:

• Specific equipment names and models: (e.g., three SP-5000 power generators, two SP-1000 control units, assorted cabling and accessories)
• Individual item dimensions: (length, width, height in cm or inches)
• Individual item weight: (in kg or lbs)
• Special handling requirements: (e.g., shock sensitivity, vibration sensitivity, temperature sensitivity)
• Hazardous materials (if applicable): Include UN numbers

Shipment Type

The shipment type depends on equipment dimensions and weight:

• FCL (Full Container Load): Most cost-effective for equipment fitting within standard 20ft or 40ft container dimensions. Suitable for smaller, lighter shipments.
• OOG (Out of Gauge): Required if any piece exceeds standard container dimensions or weight limits. May involve Breakbulk shipment, flat racks, or open-top containers. Suitable for larger, heavier shipments.
• Breakbulk: Used for exceptionally large or heavy equipment that cannot be containerized. Often the least cost-effective option.

Movement of Cargo

1. Packaging and Crating: Secure packaging is crucial. This may include custom-built wooden crates, shock-absorbing materials (e.g., bubble wrap, foam padding), and weatherproofing (e.g., waterproof tarpaulins).
2. Loading: Careful loading onto the chosen transport method (truck, train, or vessel) using appropriate lifting equipment (forklifts, cranes). Proper securing methods are essential to prevent damage during transit.
3. Transit: Sea freight is most common for overseas transport. Vessel type (container ship, Breakbulk vessel) depends on the shipment type. Transit insurance is highly recommended.
4. Unloading and Delivery: Careful unloading at the destination port and transportation to the final location. Arrange for appropriate handling equipment at the destination.
