Key Shipping Risks for MRI Machines
Be aware of these 4 common risks when booking LTL freight.
- !MRI Machines: High value exposure increases risk of targeted cargo theft during transit.
- !MRI Machines: Internal electronic components are highly susceptible to shock and vibration damage.
- !MRI Machines: Magnetic field interference or power fluctuations during transport can corrupt sensitive imaging sensors.
- !MRI Machines: Potential reclassification to higher freight class if dimensions/density are not accurately declared.
Packaging Requirements (4 Steps)
Follow these steps exactly to avoid reclassification fees and damage claims.
- 1For safe MRI Machines transport: Construct a custom-built, ISPM-15 compliant heavy-duty wooden crate with internal shock-absorbing foam lining.
- 2For safe MRI Machines transport: Apply tilt and shock watch indicators to the crate exterior to monitor handling conditions.
- 3For safe MRI Machines transport: Secure the main unit to the crate base using heavy-duty steel bolts and anti-vibration mountings.
- 4For safe MRI Machines transport: Vacuum-seal the machine in anti-static, moisture-barrier foil with desiccant packs to prevent oxidation.
