Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can containers carry complete energy storage cabinets?
A: Yes, depending on cabinet dimensions. Standard 40HQ and open-top containers are commonly used; we plan blocking and bracing for each unit.

Q: Do ESS batteries face extra UK import requirements?
A: Beyond standard clearance, documentation must confirm battery compliance. We prepare the file so UK customs queries are answered without delay.
