Shipping Lightings from Lagos to Port Klang via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of building products such as Lighting, Tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and add corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers do handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and lighting components, Use Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. Our team recommends individually protecting each unit in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy hardware on the same pallet.

For export, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

Our specialists recommend covering shipments at full replacement value and Keeping serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
