Why units ship folded
Folding the unit dramatically reduces the volume it takes up on a ship, which lowers the freight cost. The unit is opened and finished on site in a short, controlled build.
What port-to-port (FOB) means
Under FOB terms, the price covers the unit and getting it to your chosen port. From there, transport to your site, duties, tariffs and lifting are arranged by you, locally. This keeps the logistics in the hands of people who know your area.
The journey step by step
The unit is built and folded at the factory, trucked to the loading port, shipped to your port, cleared through customs, then moved to site and lifted onto its prepared base.
Planning the local leg
Line up a local haulier and a crane or telehandler before the unit arrives, and have your base ready. This is where most delays happen, so treat it as part of the order, not an afterthought.
Payment and delivery
Payment is by bank transfer in full. Tariffs, duties and local transport are extra and vary by destination.
