Packing and loading — 15 cm flat, then out the door
Every enclosure leaves as flat panels. The carton stays 15–16 cm deep, and that single number is what keeps freight per unit down: fewer cubic metres on the trailer, more units in the container. Below is our own loading day, plus what is actually inside the box.
Cartons by hand, then into the container
Two stills from a shipment going out. The first is the truck side, where cartons are passed up and stacked flat. The second is the container, loaded crate by crate. Nothing here is staged for the website — this is what the loading bay looks like on the day.
Flat cartons stack flat
Because every carton is a slab rather than a cube, they stack face to face with nothing between them. A pallet of flat cartons is stable without strapping the whole load, and the container floor is used end to end instead of in towers with gaps between.
It also means a mixed order works: two thermostatic sizes and two cage models in one booking still stack cleanly, because every carton in the load has the same 15–16 cm depth.
Panels, a pre-wired rail, and a bag of fixings
The rail arrives with the controller, the sockets and the wiring already on it. The glass is wrapped separately inside the same carton, and the hardware is bagged by step so the buyer is not sorting screws on the floor.
What one container actually holds
Loading figures depend on the model, because the panel count changes. We quote the carton size and CBM per model with the quotation, and we do not publish a number we have not measured for that shell.
| Item | Figure | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Carton depth, thermostatic enclosures | 15–16 cm | Measured on the panels plus the rail |
| Units per 40HQ, largest PVC box | 476 | Theoretical, calculated from CBM |
| Units per 40HQ, B091 bird cage | 2,046 | Carton 48×8×93 cm, 0.0357 CBM |
| MOQ per model | 20 pcs | Below this a powder-coating batch is not economic |
Carton size, gross weight and CBM for any other model are issued with the quotation — send the shell you are pricing and we will return the measured figures.
Pricing the freight
Give us the destination port and the mix you are considering. We will come back with EXW, FOB and a CBM figure per model, so your forwarder can quote against real numbers instead of an estimate.
