Large and small machinery that needs to have surface protection and
handling support are export packed. These boxes can be lined with
waterproof paper containing asphalt or the machine are draped with
plastic sheeting or both. Construction of the machine as well as the
weight and length of storage time determine how the machinery will be
packed. Areas that can rust or corrode can be coated with contact
preservatives. Control panels can be protected by placing desiccant
inside and sealing openings.
