Re: Carton box dimension and gross weight to EU

2003-07-29 Thread robert Macy

Paul,

Forgot to mention, one company years ago added their own
maximum width dimension of less than 30 inches so the boxes
could be put on a two wheel truck and easily wheeled
through a standard door!

I don't know of any maximum dimensions or weight, but there are marking
and other requirements under the Manual Handling Directive (is it still
called that?) for cartons over 5 kg and cartons whose centre-of-gravity
is displaced from an approximately central position (such as those
containing TV sets).

Paul,

Sample shippers:

  http://www.ups.com
At UPS website could not find any numbers, only
definitions.  

  http://www.fedex.com
At the FedEx website could not find any weight
restrictions, but did find Maximum length plus girth* per
piece is 300 inches . where *Girth = 2(Width + Height)

Maximum height per piece 70 inches
Maximum length per piece 119 inches

There was a footnote that said anything different could
still be discussed.  


I remember a maximum from old days as either 60, or 70
pounds, essentially what a man could carry.  But I believe
that maximum restriction has been removed.  

Hope that helps
