On-Site Packing
& Crating

The most dangerous journey a machine makes is often the first one, from your shop floor to an external packer, unprotected and unbraced. BENZ Packaging removes that risk entirely: our teams come to you and pack and crate the machine where it stands, with all the VCI materials, timber, tooling and lifting equipment, so it is protected before it ever moves. On site, worldwide, to export standard.

The Challenge

The Damage Usually Happens Before the Packing Starts

When a machine is sent out to be crated, it travels first as bare, unbraced steel: lifted onto a truck, driven across town and unloaded at a packing yard, with its slideways, spindle and controls exposed and nothing locking its moving parts. That uncontrolled first leg is where a surprising amount of transit damage actually happens, long before the proper crate is ever built. It also means handling the machine twice, double the lifts, double the risk, and a packer who has never seen the machine guessing at its fragile points.

BENZ packs on your floor. A mobile team arrives with everything the job needs, VCI papers and films, barrier foil and desiccant, heat-treated ISPM-15 timber, fasteners, tooling and the right lifting equipment, and prepares, preserves and crates the machine where it stands. The machine is locked, VCI-protected, barrier-sealed and crated to export standard in one controlled operation, then lifted just once, already protected, straight onto transport. One handling, one accountable team, and a machine that is seaworthy before it leaves your gate.

What On-Site Packing Delivers

The full export-packing operation, brought to your shop floor.

No Unprotected First Leg
The machine is preserved and crated before it moves, removing the uncontrolled journey to an external packer where damage often happens.
Single Handling
The machine is lifted once, already protected, straight onto transport, instead of being handled twice.
All Materials On Site
VCI papers and films, barrier foil, desiccant, ISPM-15 timber, fasteners and fixings, all brought to you.
Tooling & Lifting Equipment
The team arrives with the tooling and rated lifting equipment to disassemble, move and crate safely.
Machine-Specific Preservation
VCI, locking and bracing matched to your exact machine by a team that prepares heavy machinery every day.
Export-Standard Crating
Heat-treated, ISPM-15 crates and skids built to the machine, with documentation ready for the shipping agent.

How On-Site Packing Works

A BENZ team brings the packing operation to you, anywhere.

01

Site Survey

Assessment of access, weights, lifting points and the machine's fragile and alignment-critical parts.

02

Mobilisation

A mobile team arrives with all VCI materials, barrier foil, desiccant, ISPM-15 timber, tooling and rated lifting gear.

03

Prepare & Preserve

Fluids drained, moving parts locked and braced, and machined surfaces VCI-protected, all where the machine stands.

04

Barrier Sealing

Aluminium or polythene barrier with MIL-D-3464E desiccant and a humidity indicator for sea transit.

05

Crate & Single Lift

A heat-treated, ISPM-15 crate built to the machine, then a single protected lift straight onto transport.

06

Documentation

Packing photographs, packing list and heat-treatment certificate handed over, ready for the shipping agent.
