Machinery and Industrial Equipment Covers

Custom polyethylene covers sized to the machine, not the catalogue. Oversized equipment covers for storage, plant moves and transit when you need form-fit flexible protection around an irregular industrial unit. Film thickness 25 to 300 microns.

What an industrial machinery cover is

A machinery cover is a custom flexible cover or bag manufactured around the length, width and height of equipment. The job is simple: protect an industrial unit that will not sit in a stock poly bag. Geometry is the product on this page. Film chemistry is a second decision.

Flexible covers do not replace wooden structure or immobilisation. For full export systems use how to pack a machine for export and heavy equipment crating. Enclosed corrosion protection: VCI 3D bags. Enhanced moisture-barrier protection: barrier 3D bags.

These photographs show oversized equipment protected with blue polyethylene covers in a real staging environment. Covers follow the packed envelope; dimensions, film thickness and options are set per project.

How to measure

Use the maximum envelope as the machine will be stored or moved: skids, control cabinets, motors, cable reels, valves and temporary wood packing all count. Measure bounding box L, W and H, then list protrusions. For irregular or asymmetric machinery, include photographs from multiple angles or a dimensional drawing.

Common mistakes: measuring the bare machine then shipping it on a taller skid; ignoring cable arms and door swing; asking for a pallet cover when there is no pallet; expecting PE alone to replace barrier laminate or VCI protection. Fix measure and risk first.

Common questions

What is a machinery or equipment cover?

A custom-sized flexible polyethylene cover or bag made to the machine envelope for dust, handling and storage protection. Oversized industrial covers for units that will not fit a stock bag.

Does a PE cover replace export crating?

No. Flexible covers protect surfaces and free volume. Structural immobilisation and wooden export crates are separate system decisions. Use export packing and heavy equipment crating pages for structure.

How do I measure a machine for a cover?

Measure maximum L, W and H as it will ship or store, including skids, motors, panels, valves and temporary packing. Name protrusions. For irregular or asymmetric machinery, include photographs from multiple angles or a dimensional drawing.

What film thickness can you supply?

BENZ can supply film constructions from 25 to 300 microns, selected for handling severity, outdoor exposure, edge risk and whether the cover is storage or transit use.

When should I use VCI or barrier film instead of plain PE?

Corrosion-sensitive metal equipment in an enclosed pack: VCI 3D bags. Moisture-sensitive equipment needing enhanced moisture-barrier protection: barrier 3D bags. Same measuring logic, different film job.

What should I send for a quote?

Maximum packed L x W x H, machine type, storage vs inland vs export, film preference, thickness in microns if known, quantity, and a photo if the shape is irregular.

Cover sized to the machine?

Send your dimensions and a photo. We will quote a polyethylene cover and flag if VCI or barrier film is the smarter route.
