Shipping Lightings from Navegantes to Vitoria via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of construction goods such as Lighting, Tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense construction goods 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 light fittings, Use Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. Our team recommends Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy hardware on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting Should be Wrapped with poly wrap and, where feasible, Combined with desiccant packs. Select enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and minimize long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value power tools and branded fasteners Often justify All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile Lighting. Our specialists recommend Insuring shipments at full replacement value and maintaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.

Check with your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical LED lights and powered power tools.
