Non-stackable pallets Additional costs and delay of your shipment may occure, if your pallets are packed like following: Pallets packed like pyramids The uneven surface of a pyramid-shaped pallet exposes the goods to damage, there will be a risk of delay and additional surcharges. Therefore, consider using empty boxes to create an even top layer or sending the excess boxes as loose parts. 1 Packages stacked beyond the pallet Packages must not be stacked beyond the pallet, as the strength of each package is reduced by more than 30%, thereby unnecessarily exposing the goods to damage during normal handling . Industrial equipment Industrial equipment must be shipped in a package or securely fastened to a pallet, covered with reinforced cardboard and edge protectors. There are additional charges for shipments that cannot be safely stacked on top of each other. All liquids and fuels must be completely drained from the equipment before transport. Large heavy items should be placed on a wide base to prevent instability during transport. Long pipes/bars/bundles Long pipes and bars exceeding 300 cm will not be accepted for transport, while pipes over 100 cm will incur an additional charge. Long rectangular packages are structurally very weak and susceptible to damage. Therefore, you should consider shipping longer items in triangular packaging or, if necessary, in round tubes. You should expect your shipment to be rejected if: - The goods are not fastened - it must be stacked together to one unit. - The goods are stacked beyond the pallet. - The pallet has sharp edges. - The pallet is in bad condition. Shipments containing dangerous goods must be in full compliance with IATA and ADR regulations.
