Transportation Methods

Depending on your circumstances and time schedule, there are three transportation
methods for transporting your rack: air, land, and sea.

Air Transport

All racks can be air freighted upright (on a pallet or shock pallet) or horizontally
(in a crate). However, since the 10842 rack has a packaged height of 217 centimeters
(85.4 inches) and the maximum height for air cargo is 218.4 centimeters (86 inches),
only the largest cargo planes can accommodate it upright. If your destination does not
accommodate large cargo planes, the 10842 rack must be air freighted horizontally in
a crate.
A passenger plane with cargo space has a height limitation of 160 centimeters
(63 inches). Because a palletized 10622 rack is below this limit, it can readily be
delivered by air. It must be shipped upright on a pallet, and double-stacking is not
allowed.
CAUTION: If your rack is an integrated model, it MUST be transported upright. If
this is not possible, remove all components from the rack and prepare them for
delivery, or choose an alternative transportation method.
