Electric golf carts, as an essential mode of transport for golf courses, resorts, and leisure destinations, are gaining popularity for their environmental friendliness and efficiency. As the international market grows, ensuring these vehicles are transported safely and efficiently has become a priority. CARNEE, with over 20 years of experience in manufacturing electric sightseeing vehicles, will provide you with a detailed guide on golf cart shipping and packaging, helping you better understand the various aspects of the shipping process. This guide is not only applicable to golf carts but also to electric shuttle buses, electric patrol cars, and other electric vehicles.
To ensure that golf carts remain undamaged during transportation, we employ standardised packing methods. Depending on the model and transportation needs, we typically disassemble the vehicles into several parts:
Golf Cart Roof Frame: The roof frame is disassembled and packed separately to avoid any pressure or impact during transportation.
Windshield: The windshield is a fragile component of the electric golf cart and is packed individually to prevent breakage.
Steering Shaft: The steering shaft is also disassembled and wrapped with soft materials to prevent damage during transit. By using this approach, we not only ensure the safety of each part but also significantly reduce the space taken up during shipping, improving overall transport efficiency.
The packing dimensions for golf carts need to meet international shipping standards, especially for sea freight.
Pallet Packaging: It is recommended to keep the dimensions within 2600mm × 1300mm × 2500mm to comply with most international shipping loading requirements.
Container Packaging: If using a 40-foot container (high cube), the internal dimensions are 11900mm × 2250mm × 2450mm. Ensure that the packed vehicles do not exceed these dimensions. In addition, when packing, ensure the use of securing straps, foam, or other cushioning materials to enhance the stability of the golf carts and prevent tilting or falling during transportation.
Batteries, especially lithium batteries, are considered hazardous materials and must be handled according to international shipping regulations. During the packing process, we provide the necessary safety certifications and reports to ensure compliance.
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): This is a mandatory document for lithium or lead-acid battery shipments, confirming the safety of the batteries.
UN38.3 Certification: This is the certification standard for lithium battery shipping, ensuring that the batteries meet global shipping standards.
Transport Evaluation Report: For golf carts containing lead-acid batteries, we typically provide this report to confirm the items as non-restricted goods.
When selecting a golf cart shipping service, we take into account the cost, delivery time, and the safety of the goods. Common shipping methods for golf carts include:
Sea Freight: Ideal for bulk orders, we typically use either less-than-container load (LCL) or full-container load (FCL) shipping. The choice depends on the volume and quantity of goods.
Air Freight: For urgent orders, we offer air freight services to ensure fast delivery.
Land Freight: Suitable for domestic or short-distance shipments, ensuring that electric golf carts are delivered promptly.
During the packing and shipping of golf carts, the following points should also be taken into account:
Weight Limitations: Each electric golf cart should typically weigh no more than 1.5 tons to meet international shipping standards.
Destination Requirements: Different countries have varying requirements for importing electric golf carts, such as certifications and inspections. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with these specific requirements before shipping.
Collaborating with Logistics Companies: Working with experienced logistics providers ensures that your goods are handled professionally and safely throughout the shipping process.
Golf cart shipping & Packaging is a comprehensive process involving vehicle disassembly, packaging, documentation preparation, and the selection of appropriate shipping methods. With the detailed guide above, you can better understand how to efficiently and safely ship your golf carts to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. To ensure smooth customs clearance and avoid potential issues during shipping, it is advisable to work with a professional logistics company.
