Shipping Thermal Storage Units: A Guide

Shipping Options

Thermal storage units are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) cargo. However, depending on size and weight, they may be classified as OOG (Out of Gauge) cargo if exceeding standard container dimensions or weight limits. Breakbulk shipment is less common, usually reserved for exceptionally large units or those requiring specialized handling beyond container capabilities.

Choosing the Right Shipping Method

The optimal shipping method depends on the specific dimensions and weight of your thermal storage unit. Consider these factors:

  • Dimensions: Measure the unit's length, width, and height.
  • Weight: Determine the unit's gross weight.
  • Destination: The distance and accessibility of the destination will influence the choice of transport.
  • Budget: Different shipping methods have varying costs.
  • Time Sensitivity: Consider the required delivery timeframe.

  • Insurance: Consider cargo insurance to cover potential damage or loss.
  • Documentation: Gather all necessary shipping documents, including commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading.
  • Customs Regulations: Be aware of and comply with all relevant customs regulations for both the origin and destination countries.
  • Handling & Special Requirements: Note any special handling requirements for your unit (e.g., fragile components).
