Less Than Container Load (LCL):
If you have smaller shipments to consolidate with other shipper’s goods inside the same shipping container, Rinkens can provide fast and reliable services to many ports and points worldwide. We have capabilities to service your requirements with a network of convenient receiving depots, offices and representatives through out the world. When shipping via LCL the goods are required to be palletized and shrink-wrapped to ensure their protection during transit. Although this is an economical method of shipping, longer transit times may be experienced due to awaiting the receipt of other consignments needed to complete the volume of container prior to dispatch.

Wrapping and Packing:
For international shipping everything must be packed well in clean strong boxes. Rinkens uses only new sturdy, reinforced cartons.
When you deliver your already packed goods to the receiving warehouse your boxes will be stacked on a pallet, as many as can fit. Then the whole piece is shrink wrapped with plastic. Palletizing is used to keep all the boxes, together and also enables loading and unloading of your shipment with a forklift. Once your boxes are palletized, measurements are taken of the whole pallet or pallets. Shipping cost is determined per volume, nor weight. At the very end of that process shipment will be placed in to a dry, sealed container and delivered to the shipping terminal.

We will build heavy-duty boxes, called lift vans, to the size specifications of your shipment. These super-strong boxes resist all handling incurred en route to your new destination. |
All of your goods are packed into wooden, steel-strapped lifts, where they are safely kept until arrival at your destination.
