This Insertion Machine was one of 22 Industrial machine tooling pieces that we packed and crated for containerization and export to Romania. All machines, tooling Dyes and parts were packed, V.C.I wrapped as well as blocked and brace in crates designed for optimal loading of a 40' High Cubed Container.
With all of this heavy equipment being shipped via ocean container we took great care in the design and packaging of the machines.
We utilized a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (V.C.I) Poly sheeting (its the yellow plastic sheeting you see on the items) to cover the metal. The sheeting is covered in a compound that chemically releases during shipment to prevent the buildup of moisture and prevent rust on the equipment.
All items were blocked and braced in the crates to limit shifting or moving and to keep the items secure for their long journey. The weight and size of the items dictated that we package and crate the items to ensure proper loading and protection in the container.
The majority of the crates had to support over 2500 lbs of machinery so we made all the bases out of 2X6 top slats and double 2X4 stringers. It made for a sound and stable container for these items.
Gateway Crate and Freight has years of experience in packing, wrapping, crating and loading industrial equipment. We are an IPPC certified wood crate manufacturing facility and can block and brace containers utilizing pre- stamped lumber for dunnage.
If you have larger heavier tooling items we specialize in specialty crating and packing for shipping in export containers.
