Shipping a Telecommunication Trailer from the UK

Cargo Assessment

Detailed Specifications

To ensure accurate cost estimation and selection of the appropriate shipping method, provide precise measurements of your trailer's length, width, height, weight, and centre of gravity. High-quality photographs are also essential. Supplying this detailed information upfront facilitates a smoother and more efficient shipping process with Shipping International.

Pre-Shipment Inspection

Identifying Potential Issues

A thorough pre-shipment inspection is vital. This process identifies any potential damage, missing parts, or other issues that could delay shipment or cause damage during transit. Shipping International can arrange a professional inspection to ensure your trailer is ready for safe transport.

Shipping Method Determination

OOG/Breakbulk Shipping

Depending on your trailer's dimensions and weight, Oversized/Out-of-Gauge (OOG) or Breakbulk shipping will likely be required. Logistics experts at Shipping International will assess your specific requirements and recommend the most suitable and cost-effective method.

Shipping International assists in obtaining all required export licenses, customs documentation (including commercial invoice and packing list), and any special permits for oversized/heavy cargo transport. Our team manages all necessary paperwork.
