04 / PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Questions buyers
should ask early.
Should shipping dimensions match operating dimensions?
Not always. Approved shipping preparation can change the packed envelope, so ask for final packing dimensions and weight.
How are batteries handled in transport?
Transport requirements depend on battery chemistry, configuration and route. Confirm documentation, packing and carrier requirements.
What should be checked when the shipment arrives?
Inspect packaging, securing points, visible condition, quantities, accessories and documents before unloading and again before operation.
Which documents should be requested?
Requirements vary by destination. Ask the supplier to list the commercial, packing, transport and product documents included in the quotation.
