How Finished Equipment Is Readied For Final Dispatch

Date:

Readying heavy or large equipment for dispatch can be challenging. If the process is not done properly, it can go wrong. Also, during shipping, you want to avoid damaging the parts that will cost you more in replacement.

Thus, it’s vital to ensure the equipment is loaded and secured during transportation, and this step also helps meet the relevant regulations related to transportation. 

Here are a few tips to help you prepare better for finished equipment final dispatch.

Think About Rust Proofing:

Irrespective of the mode of transport, the machinery might sit in the open, exposed to rain, wind, and salt water. For instance, if a process equipment manufacturers in Maharashtra has to deliver equipment through sea freight, it will be exposed to significant wear and tear. As a result, it can lead to corrosion that can affect the functioning of the equipment. 

However, there are measures you can implement, such as anti-corrosion treatment. But this depends on the condition and size of the equipment, here are protective techniques you can use: 

Galvanising

In this anti-corrosion technique, the equipment is coated in layers of zinc and steel. In most cases, the last layer is pure zinc because it’s shock absorbent. This layer protects equipment such as shell and tube heat exchangers against jostling and impact during shipping. With such coating, there’s no need for extra maintenance as it doesn’t peel or chip.

Plating

This technique combines tin and zinc to provide an extra layer to avoid corrosion. In addition, combining these two provides better protection against chemical damage and abrasion.

Painting

Using this method covers the surface of the equipment to prevent corrosion. It’s vital to use oil-based paints when coating large or heavy equipment. It’s because they can withstand harsh weather and long journeys. 

Inspect the Capabilities 

Before processing equipment manufacturers ship heavy equipment, they need to ensure that the equipment is:

Well Calibrated

Before shipping equipment, it’s essential to ensure it’s well-calibrated. It means the equipment needs to give sample results within an acceptable range. In addition, it will help reduce or eliminate factors that lead to inaccurate measurements.

Test 

After manufacturing the equipment, the manufacturer needs to test it to see if it’s functioning. If it passes the test as per the set benchmark and the relevant regulations, the equipment is ready for shipment.

Check the Weight

Before loading large equipment onto a trailer for shipping, it’s important to check the weight. Hauling equipment too heavy can damage the trailer. Also, you need to check the trailer’s tire pressure to ensure it’s the ideal pressure to prevent damage. After doing all these, check the brakes, and if the equipment passes the inspection, it’s clear for shipment.

Prepare for Risks

Preparation for risks depends on how durable or delicate the equipment is. Therefore, it’s vital to think about shipping risk management policy. This plays a major role in whether the equipment will reach its destination in one piece. Therefore, it’s essential to have an expert oversee the loading and unloading. Also, pick a company to ensure the heavy equipment is safe at all transportation stages. Lastly, ensure they have logistics experts that know what will happen to the equipment when it arrives at its destination.

Heavy equipment shipping is not similar to sending general freight. This process is complicated and costly. Also, there are more risks involved; therefore, preparation needs to be done to ensure the safety of the equipment to its destination. Follow the above tips to ensure the shipment goes well without leaving your clientele happy.
