Standard method of preparation for domestic shipment. Heavy duty wooden skid is constructed specifically based on the systems dimensions, machinery is lagged to the skid with bolts so it will not shift in transit, and the system is then wrapped in transparent stretch wrap so the truckers and handlers can see the items being moved. Peripheral items and tooling are wrapped and boxed and securely mounted to the skid. Machinery is then shipped via air ride van lines, not common carrier.
Benefit: equipment arrives in good condition ready for installation.
