🌍 Introduction: The Challenge of Shipping MRI Machines to Africa
Shipping large-scale medical equipment like MRI machines to African countries can be a logistical nightmare. Traditional MRI machines require constant power, special containers, and immediate unloading—adding complexity, cost, and risk.
What if you could ship an MRI system to landlocked regions in Africa without worrying about electricity, port access, or time constraints?
That’s where the MAYA Helium-Free 1.5T MRI comes in.
⚙️ The Helium-Free Advantage
MAYA’s Helium-Free 1.5 Tesla MRI is designed for maximum stability during transport, even without continuous electricity supply.
✅ Key Features:
No helium leakage risk: No need for cold head or active cooling during transit
Power-free transport up to 60 days: Unlike traditional MRI systems that must be powered within 7 days
Compact & shipping-friendly design: Easier loading, handling, and delivery
These features make it the ideal solution for long-distance, cross-border shipping—especially to remote or inland areas across Africa.
🚢 How We Ship MRI Machines from China to Africa
We offer a cost-effective, safe, and practical solution for international MRI delivery:
✅ Standard Shipping Timeline:
Origin: Guangzhou, China
Transit time: 30–40 days via ocean freight
Delivery method: Sea + land transport
✅ Flexible Route Planning:
Door-to-door delivery available
Final-mile logistics arranged via truck—even in regions without a port
✅ No Special Container Needed (Unless >60 Days):
No electricity required during shipping if delivery is within 60 days
For shipments exceeding 2 months, we recommend an RH container (refrigerated/humidity-controlled)
📦 Proven Case: Successful Delivery to Chad
In 2025, MAYA Medical successfully delivered a 1.5T Helium-Free MRI system to a hospital in Chad, a landlocked country in Central Africa.
Despite the absence of a seaport, the delivery was completed on time and without any technical failure. The system remained stable and fully operational upon installation—no additional adjustments were needed due to transport conditions.
This real-world case demonstrates our expertise in navigating complex logistics across borders and terrains.
