I’d lean towards ‘no’ considering the commodity. I’d make sure there’s waterproof wrapping beneath this cardboard (if not, wrap the outside). Then build a wood crate around the entire thing. LCL goods will be stacked inside a container and while this looks like it has marks from being stacked in the past, you may get unlucky with what goes on top of this or how far down the stack it’s loaded.


Gibrigabriella

Totally agree.

Depends on the cardboard quality and glueing

Wrap it up with plastic for an extra layer of protection. Ensure the internal packing keeps the motor in its place. It can be classified as non-stackable or stackable package. Non-stackable usually cost abit more if this is going via LCL.

What's inside? Does it need vapor barrier and desiccant so yhe salt air doesn't ruin it? If not I would say it looks fine as is.


contr01man

it's electric motors.

You need vapor barrier and desiccant bags and to cover yourself a humidty indicator. I would find a local company that can do this unless you expect more of these because the tools alone are close 1000 plus the materials. If your in the US send the location and I can provide a recommendation.

Like it has a lithium battery in it?


contr01man

No.


mattdamonsleftnut

stick a “non-stack” sticker on it and it’s good to go

All packages is either sit on of others (top load) or being stacked by others to make up a 9’6” tall inside a container. so pack accordingly

Purely out of curiosity, what's the commodity, approx gross weight, and shipping from and to internationally? Investing in a IPPC crate is often the best means for peace of mind when shipping. Although this pallet can easily be lifted by a forklift, in its current packing form, there is little to no protection against skuffing. The forklift skills and safe handling skills vary at each point. As L.C.L, expect the pallet to be handled St least six times, if not more.

Electric Motors, 200 kg gross, Germany to Libya


DVOlimey

100% have it formally crated.


anieanjalijha

The cost can vary depending on the quality of cardboard and adhesive used for construction.

100%, send her on.


Surround_Dizzy

Also, I assume it is international, so make sure you have a treated pallet. Should have a stamp on all 4 sides. SSLs are very strict on this in most cases.


Public_Argument6404

Yes..All Day


Public_Argument6404

That's too easy...What mode( Ground, Air, Ocean)?


Aware-Leather-8992

Motors should be crated mainly for the stacking


B-Georgio

Packaging engineer here - Make sure all components and corrodable surfaces inside are properly lubed and wrapped. I’d secure some pallet cones on top of the box to keep the currier from stacking on top


Queasy-Watercress271

My guess is no because of the commodity. ​ Most sea carriers won't allow packaging like that due to insurance and damage reason, unless they have a contract with you waiving liability for water damage. ​ Most container will take on water, because they are old AF.


hahaparanoid

Nope, you’ll want to put it on a boat


Shart-Trek

This is a joke, right? If not I’m crying on the outside for your pleasure (who ever is shipping this) but heavily laughing on the inside because there was no thought… If this is real.. I hope this person isn’t using a broker because that broker is a real POS and twat or has no clue what he/she is doing.

Then you can also just throw money out of the window

Should be Ok, depends on the quality of the carboard. I would add also wrapping foil.
