That’s a complete 3x18m truck scale packed into a single 20’GP container. I took this picture right in our loading yard. There is literally 5cm of clearance left at the top.
Most buyers assume shipping a weighbridge this large requires a 40’HQ or, worse, expensive oversized cargo rates. High sea freight can easily kill a project budget right now. So, our team spends a lot of time figuring out how to cut those shipping volumes down.
For this shipment, a split U-beam structure allowed the steel sections to stack compactly. Container fit depends on the exact scale configuration, packaging and loading plan; it should be checked against the actual cargo dimensions before a freight quotation is finalized.
A compact loading plan can reduce the number or size of containers needed for some orders, but the freight saving depends on the route, carrier rates and final equipment specification. Ask for a written packing plan and compare total delivered costs.
If freight costs are holding up your truck scale procurement, let’s talk. We know how to pack them.
