Long-Term
Equipment Storage

Machinery staged between sites or held for a project that has not started yet still needs protecting, and ordinary warehousing is not enough: a humid shed turns a stored asset into a corroded one. BENZ Packaging stores machinery preserved, elevated, humidity-controlled and continuously monitored, ready to redeploy in working condition whenever the project calls for it.

The Challenge

Stored Is Not the Same as Protected

Equipment goes into storage for good reasons, a delayed project, a phased relocation, plant bought ahead of need, but storage itself is a risk if it is just floor space in a shed. Uncontrolled humidity condenses on cold steel, ground moisture wicks into anything resting on a damp floor, and a machine that sat for a year in those conditions emerges with rusted ways, seized bearings and electronics that have to be dried out before they can be trusted. The asset was safe on paper and quietly degrading in reality.

BENZ stores machinery the way it preserves it. Equipment is VCI-preserved and, where needed, barrier-enclosed before it is stored; it is kept elevated on heavy-duty platforms or racking off the floor; and the environment is held in a stable, dry range with humidity control and dehumidification. The space is monitored continuously, temperature, humidity and air, with defined response if conditions drift, and the stored machines are inspected to a schedule and their preservation renewed before it expires. When the project is ready, the equipment is released in working condition, ready to ship or install.

What Monitored Storage Delivers

Preservation, environment and oversight that keep a stored asset deployable.

Preserved Before Storage
Equipment VCI-preserved and, where needed, barrier-enclosed before it goes into store, not just parked.
Elevated & Stable
Kept on heavy-duty platforms or racking off the floor, away from ground moisture and stable against handling.
Humidity Control
A stable, dry environment held with humidity control and dehumidification to prevent rust and condensation.
Continuous Monitoring
Temperature, humidity and air monitored continuously, with a defined response if conditions drift.
Scheduled Inspection & Renewal
Stored machines inspected to a schedule and preservation renewed before it expires.
Ready Redeployment
Released in working condition, ready to ship or install, with full access when the project calls.

Storage Programme Checklist

What a BENZ storage programme covers, from intake to redeployment.

  • Survey the equipment and the expected storage duration
  • VCI-preserve and, where needed, barrier-enclose before storage
  • Record the baseline condition and fit humidity indicators
  • Place elevated on platforms or racking off the floor
  • Hold a stable, dry environment with humidity control and dehumidification
  • Monitor temperature, humidity and air continuously
  • Inspect to a schedule and renew preservation before it expires
  • Release in working condition, ready to ship or install

How We Store Machinery Long Term

Preservation, environment and oversight, managed as one programme.

01

Survey & Intake

Assessment of the equipment and storage duration, and a preservation and storage plan matched to it.

02

Preserve & Enclose

VCI preservation (MIL-PRF-3420H) and, where needed, barrier enclosure before the equipment is stored.

03

Elevated Placement

Stored on heavy-duty platforms or racking off the floor, stable and away from ground moisture.

04

Controlled Environment

A stable, dry range held with humidity control and dehumidification to prevent rust and condensation.

05

Monitoring & Inspection

Temperature, humidity and air monitored continuously, with scheduled inspections and preservation renewal.

06

Redeployment

Released in working condition, ready to ship or install, with the condition record handed over.

Standards Behind Monitored Storage

StandardRelevance to long-term storage
MIL-STD-2073Methods of preservation and packing: the benchmark for stored machinery.
MIL-PRF-3420HVCI performance: protects bearings, bores, ways and bright steel throughout storage.
MIL-D-3464EDesiccant performance: supports humidity control inside enclosed or barrier-stored assets.
ISPM-15Heat-treated, stamped timber for any crating or skidding used in storage and onward shipping.
ISO 9001 & ISO 14001Quality and environmental certification across all BENZ facilities.
