ZRAY Shortens Lead Times (15–20 Days Standard, 35–45 Days ODM) and Streamlines Shipping Costs for Global Case Erector Orders | ZRAY
A 45-day wait for a case erector can stall a line-expansion project by a quarter, and a mis-quoted freight term can add 15–20% to landed cost overnight. ZRAY has re-sequenced production and containerisation so standard models ship in 15–20 days and even full ODM projects close in 35–45 days, with transparent EXW/FOB/CIF/DDP options so procurement teams can budget landed cost before the PO is signed.
Lead Time by Configuration
| Configuration | Lead time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard model | 15–20 days | ZR-40H / ZR-25S in stock kits |
| Light customisation | 25–30 days | Guarding, HMI language, height |
| Full ODM | 35–45 days | New frame, tooling, CE file |
| Spare parts | 3–5 days | From Shanghai warehouse |
Container Loading and Freight
| Packing | 20GP | 40HQ |
|---|---|---|
| Units per container | 6 machines | 14 machines |
| Net / gross weight | 680 kg / ~780 kg | same per unit |
| Mode | Crated whole | Crated whole or knocked-down |
Knocked-down (KD) shipping cuts volume ~40%, lifting 20GP capacity from 6 to 9 units and often turning an LCL into a worthwhile FCL. For most buyers an FCL 40HQ is cheaper per unit than LCL once volume exceeds 4 machines. The crated whole option ships ready to commission; the KD option saves freight but adds 2–3 hours of on-site assembly.
