Key Shipping Risks for X-Ray Machines
Be aware of these 4 common risks when booking LTL freight.
- !X-Ray Machines: High susceptibility to internal sensor misalignment from mechanical shock or vibration during transit.
- !X-Ray Machines: Significant exposure to high-value cargo theft due to the portability and resale value of components.
- !X-Ray Machines: Risk of damage from moisture or humidity condensation causing failure of sensitive electronic imaging circuitry.
- !X-Ray Machines: Potential for NMFC reclassification to a higher density class if shipping volume is not strictly verified.
Packaging Requirements (4 Steps)
Follow these steps exactly to avoid reclassification fees and damage claims.
- 1For safe X-Ray Machines transport: Secure the unit inside a custom ISPM-15 heat-treated wooden crate with heavy-duty internal bracing.
- 2For safe X-Ray Machines transport: Utilize shock-watch and tilt-meter indicators on the crate exterior to monitor handling and force impacts.
- 3For safe X-Ray Machines transport: Vacuum-seal the machine in moisture-barrier foil bags with desiccant packs to prevent electrical corrosion.
- 4For safe X-Ray Machines transport: Anchor the crate to a 4-way forklift-entry pallet using steel banding to ensure stability during LTL transit.
