100,000lbs of Fragile

Problem:
To service market demand on it’s China plant our client decided to temporarily relocate a large stamping press for a finite production run.

To minimize disassembly is the US and installation time & cost in China it was decided that the press would shipped in an almost fully-assembled fashion. This presented challenges to the packaging design due to fragile hydraulic piping, power and control wiring being left on the machine for shipment.

As a result a unique, one-of-a-kind crate was designed that accounted for the cargo weight and allowed access to cast-in lifting points whilst still protecting those delicate components that, if damaged, would add cost and hinder the implementation of the production run in China.
