How to Transport Tools and Machinery Safely
Packaging Requirements
Drain all fuel, oils and fluids from engines and equipment before packing. Secure moving parts and sharp edges with padding and wrap items in bubble wrap. Heavy items must be palletised or crated and strapped down; anything over 25kg should be palletised for forklift pickup. Ensure weight is evenly distributed on pallets and use corner protectors and shrink wrap to prevent shifting during transit. See our full packaging requirements for detailed guidance.
Labelling and Documentation
After booking with Transdirect, you’ll be supplied with shipping labels for your items. Each item is issued a unique label, which must be securely fixed to each item. If labels are not affixed correctly, a Futile Collection fee may apply. For international shipments, please ensure all appropriate customs documentation has been supplied.
