A Weighty Marvel in Transit
At the heart of this logistical achievement is a colossal digital printing machine, boasting a weight of 32 tons. To put this into perspective, it equals the weight of a small passenger plane ✈ and holds a staggering value of approximately 6 million dollars. This state-of-the-art printing equipment is not merely an ordinary cargo; it’s a technological behemoth that demands precision in handling and transportation.
Craftsmanship in Packaging
Understanding the intricacies involved in lifting such a substantial load, Globus Worldwide Logistics took meticulous steps to ensure the safety of the digital printing machine and its accompanying parts. The logistics experts crafted 11 custom-made wooden boxes at the Globus plant, providing a secure and tailored enclosure for the valuable cargo. This bespoke packaging underscores the commitment to delivering not just a service but a solution tailored to the unique requirements of the shipment.


Containerization and Break Bulk Cargo
The journey of the 32-ton marvel continued as it was strategically containerized, snugly fitting into two 40 HC (High Cube) containers. This strategic decision in containerization exemplifies the expertise of Globus Worldwide Logistics in optimizing space while maintaining the integrity of the cargo. However, this is not just another containerized shipment; it transcends into the realm of break bulk cargo, emphasizing the scale and uniqueness of this logistical venture.
