When to use it

This is the right service when

  • The machine is too large, heavy or sensitive to move uncrated.
  • It ships from your dock straight to the customer.
  • It is an export shipment that needs ISPM 15 lumber and vapor barrier packaging.
  • A plant move or equipment sale has a fixed date.
