How responsibly the transportation process is organized depends not only on the safety of expensive equipment, but also on the safety of people involved in loading and unloading and cargo transportation.
How is heavy equipment prepared for transportation?
For example, let's take the algorithm of the team's actions when transporting equipment at Inca Trans — www.inka-trans.ua/perevozka-oborudovanyja . In this case, the transportation process is arranged as follows:
- Inspection and assessment of equipment condition. Any malfunctions must be fixed before the start of transportation. An assessment of the dimensions and weight of the equipment is also carried out to select the optimal type of transport and fastening means.
- Disassembly and disassembly. This makes it possible to reduce the dimensions of the cargo and distribute the load on the transport. Dismantling is carried out in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and under the supervision of experienced specialists.
- Preservation and packaging. Metal parts are coated with anti-corrosion compounds, rubber and plastic elements are treated with special means. Then the equipment is placed in a wooden crate or boxes, inside which shock-absorbing materials are used.
- Labeling and documentation. Each piece of cargo is marked with the indication of weight, dimensions and transportation conditions. A detailed specification is drawn up with a description of all parts of the equipment. Accompanying documents are also issued — invoices, certificates, permits for the transportation of oversized cargo.
- Loading and securing. At the same time, it is important to comply with the requirements for load distribution on the axles and the platform area. Special fastening straps, chains, and tripwires are used to securely fix the load. They must withstand possible loads during movement and braking.
How does the transportation of industrial equipment take place?
- Route development. If necessary, schedules for power outages, dismantling of road signs and fences are agreed upon in advance.
- Preparation of the route. Roadbed preparation, roadside reinforcement, and clearance of trees and shrubs are carried out throughout the transportation route. In winter, the highway is cleared of snow and ice, and treated with anti-icing materials.
- Formation of the column. For the transportation of heavy equipment, a convoy is formed consisting of the main vehicle, cover vehicles and
