HOW TO SHIP A NON-OPERABLE VEHICLE  TO United Arab Emirates FROM Germany?

Shipping a non-runner vehicle to United Arab Emirates is most efficiently handled through a shared container service. This method is ideal for transporting non-operational vehicles or forklift units to United Arab Emirates by securing them in a container. An alternative shipping option is the Roll On Roll Off (RORO) service. However, it’s important to note that not all German export ports accommodate this type of service. Choosing the right shipping method is crucial for the safe and efficient transport of non-runner vehicles to United Arab Emirates.

Comparing Shipping Services: NON RUNNER TOWING vs FORKLIFT SERVICE

Numerous vehicles are facing rejection at American ports when using Roll On Roll Off (RORO) services, predominantly due to their condition. To ensure a smooth booking process, it is imperative to accurately report the vehicle’s condition—whether it’s operable (run & drive), requires towing (non-runner towing), needs forklift assistance for loading (non-runner forklift), or has been affected by flooding (flooded vehicle). Emphasize the vehicle’s actual condition, rather than the condition reported by auctions.

Vehicle owners or purchasers must be aware that they bear full responsibility for any charges incurred throughout the entire shipping process. Providing detailed and accurate information about your vehicle not only facilitates a smoother shipping operation but also helps avoid unnecessary delays and expenses.

NON RUNNER – TOWING SERVICE

Transporting non-running vehicles via towing service inside a vessel necessitates adherence to several critical conditions to ensure safety and compliance. These vehicles, while inoperable, must still meet specific criteria to qualify for shipping:

• Operational Steering: Essential for safely maneuvering the vehicle during the loading process.
• Tires Must Hold Air: All four tires need to be intact and capable of retaining air to facilitate smooth towing.
• Operational Brakes: Crucial for controlling the vehicle while it’s being moved.
• Functional Ignition System: This includes freeing the steering column and shift lever, ensuring the vehicle can be steered and shifted appropriately.
• Operational Driver Door: Ensures access to the vehicle’s interior for necessary controls and adjustments.
• Intact Vehicle Windows: All glass within the vehicle must be unbroken to prevent safety hazards.
• Absence of Human Remains: For health and safety reasons, vehicles must be free of any human remains.
• No Sharp Edges Within the Interior: To prevent injuries to personnel involved in the shipping process.
• Vehicle Keys: Necessary for accessing and securing the vehicle.

IF THE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONS MENTIONED ABOVE IT WILL BE CONSIDERED FORKLIFT SERVICE.

THE DECISION IF THE VEHICLES ARE TOWING SERVICE OR FORKLIFT SERVICE WILL BE TAKEN BY THE PORT AUTHORITY OF THE PORT WHICH IS RECEIVING THE VEHICLE.

FLOODED VEHICLES ARE FORKLIFT SERVICE UNITS ALSO IF THEY RUN AND DRIVE

FORKLIFT SERVICE

Despite being listed as ‘run and drive’ on auction websites, haulers frequently encounter vehicles with significant issues upon pickup. These discrepancies underline the importance of accurately assessing vehicle condition to determine the appropriate shipping method.

It will be forklift service if your vehicle has at least one of these issues

• • Flat Tires: Vehicles with one or more flat tires necessitate the use of forklift service for safe loading and transportation.
  • Missing Keys: The absence of keys for a vehicle automatically requires forklift service, as it cannot be driven or steered onto the carrier.
  • Broken Axles: Vehicles suffering from axle damage are unfit for towing and must be transported via forklift.
  • Immobility of Wheels: Any vehicle with wheels that cannot roll requires the forklift service to ensure it can be moved onto the shipping vessel.
  • Interior Safety Hazards: Vehicles with broken glass or blood inside are handled through forklift service. To avoid this necessity, it’s advised that all glass debris be thoroughly vacuumed out of the vehicle’s interior.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ADVISE THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THAT YOU REQUEST THE BOOKINGS , THE HAULERS CHARGE FOR DETENTION TIME FOR A WHILE THEY ARE WAITING AT THE PORTS , THE STEAMSHIP LINE SOMETIMES TAKE UP TO 2 HOURS FOR EXAMPLE TO CHANGE A BOOKING FROM RUN AND DRIVE TO NON RUNNER OR FROM NON RUNNER TO FORKLIFT SERVICE , WHEN THAT HAPPEN THE STEAMSHIP LINES HAVE TO UPDATE THE BOOKINGS IN THEIR SYSTEM AND NOTIFY THE TERMINAL OF SUCH CHANGE FOR A WHILE THE DRIVER IS WAITING AT THE PORT.
