Guidelines for selecting a specialized, air-ride, padded-van carriers include the following considerations: • A dedicated truck shipment can be set up with no transfer points where the equipment is unloaded/reloaded enroute to its destination. • These carriers are accustomed to special handling arrangements and will provide any necessary materials. • The rack assembly is secured within the truck. • Specialized, air-ride, padded-van carriers are required for shipment of any rack with at least one component that has not been qualified. Airfreight Because the rack cannot be safely tipped or placed on its side during transit or storage, air cargo doors must have height sufficient for the rack to be loaded and removed without tipping. Consult your freight forwarder for available aircraft configurations that satisfy your particular rack height. International Air Transport Association labeling Typical HP products that are classified as Magnetized Material are those with arc-welded frames that contain a large mass of ferrous metal. For example, most racks or cabinets will usually test in the low to mid-range of the regulatory limits and be classified as Magnetized Material. Magnetized Material is regulated as Dangerous Goods under Class 9, "Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods," and has been assigned the United Nations identification number, UN2807. These goods are only regulated when transported by air due to their potential for interference with aircraft instrumentation. Shipments must be properly marked, labeled and documented to be legally accepted by an air carrier for transport.
