We get called on by many companies large and small in the solar industry to ensure proper packing and shipping of these large and fragile photovoltaic modules. We have also shipped Inverters, controllers and batteries for our solar clients.
Gateway Crate and Freight over the last few years has seen a significant increase in the distribution of solar related products to points around the globe. We have shipped Solar products to Nepal, The West Indies, Thailand and Dubai to name a few.
Whether our clients requests we crate their items or simply custom box them, we pack to ensure that the cells in the modules don't get scratched or damaged by dividing the panels with packing materials or wrapping and banding the frames to prevent movement during transport.
In this shipment the client had 10 Panels fully crated. We placed a double corrugated cardboard sheet between each panel to prevent the metal frame from moving slightly and scratching the panel below.
These panels also have junction boxes and wiring on the back, ensuring the wiring stays in place and doesn't get pinched by the metal frame is an important component in ensuring safe transport of these products.
Gateway Crate and Freight has years of experience in custom packing and shipping solar related products. We advise, especially when shipping long distances (International Ocean) that your valuable products be crated and professionally packed.
