Container Loading And Shipping A Block Plant
20GP or 40HQ, what goes in with the machine, and why the packing scheme is agreed before the quotation is signed.
Loading Volume Is Calculated Before Shipment
Loading volume is calculated for 20GP and 40HQ containers, with a spare parts packing scheme listed and an ocean freight estimate provided for reference. That happens at the quotation stage, not after the machine is finished.
Small Machines Ship In A Case
The QT4-24 is packed in a plywood box for shipping, which the source specification names directly as a way to reduce shipping cost. At 3 tonnes and 2060 x 1730 x 1850 mm it is a straightforward load.
Pallets Take More Space Than Buyers Expect
600 pallets ship with a semi automatic machine and 1,500 are matched to a QT10-15 line. They are bulky, and whether they travel with the machine or are sourced locally is a decision that changes the container count.
Plan The Spare Parts Into The Same Container
Core spare parts - bearings, hydraulic valves, conveyor belts, mixing blades, moulds - are cheapest to move when they travel with the machine rather than by air later. The packing scheme lists them so nothing is discovered missing on arrival.
