6.2 UNPACKING EQUIPMENT
Station equipment is generally packed in one of the following ways:
• Bolted vertically to a mini pallet approximately 36” deep x 32” wide, with a corrugated cardboard
cover held down with two plastic straps. This technique is generally used for domestic shipments.
The mini pallet adds approximately three inches to the overall cabinet height. The weight varies
according to the content, but generally runs from 300 pounds to 600 pounds.
• Crated vertically or horizontally. This technique is generally used for open-racked equipment and
overseas shipments of 69-inch and 83-inch cabinets. Crates may contain one or several cabinets or
racks, and the dimensions and weight will vary accordingly. If size and weight limits are required,
contact the factory for special packing instructions.
Cabinets packed on mini pallets can be moved with a hand-truck, crates may need a forklift or pallet jack,
depending on the size. Wrenches will be needed to unbolt the cabinets from the mini pallets, and a
crowbar and hammer will be useful in opening the crates. Do not leave packed or unpacked equipment
exposed to the weather.
Upon receipt of the station equipment, carefully examine each carton. If any packaging damage is
detected, note the damage on the Bill of Lading.
