What “ready for transport” means for a machine
We transport machines – we do not dismantle them. That is why a machine has to be ready for transport at collection. This page explains what that means in practice: as a checklist for you and your dismantling team.
What matters
- Disconnected from all utilities
- Power, compressed air, water, coolant and extraction are disconnected and made safe. A qualified person does this, not the driver.
- Operating fluids
- Coolant, hydraulic oil, dielectric or fuel are drained or sealed tight according to the manufacturer.
- Moving parts fixed
- Axes, slides, tables, rams and doors are in transport position and fixed with transport locks.
- Loose parts removed
- Tools, workpieces, chips and accessories are removed, cleaned and packed separately or recorded in the parts list.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Who disconnects the machine – your own electrician, the manufacturer or a service provider?
- Is there a manufacturer's transport manual with transport locks?
- Have all operating fluids been drained or securely sealed?
- Which parts travel separately, and are they listed?
- Has the machine been released from its foundation?
What we need from you
- Confirmation of the completion date by your dismantling team
- Parts list with dimensions and weights
- Photos of the prepared machine
- Notes from the transport manual
Preparation: You hand the machine over ready for transport – dismantling, later installation and commissioning are done by your team or the manufacturer's service.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Transport planned around dimensions, weight and route – with the right vehicle and secure load
- Loading, unloading and crane work organised alongside on request
- One contact who coordinates dates with you and the people on site
Good to know
Use our checklist the day before to confirm the machine is ready for transport – that way loading runs without waiting time.
How it works
- 01
Request
You send route, date and machine details using the form below – anything unknown can stay open.
- 02
Review
Using your photos and details we check whether the machine will be ready on the date and ask specifically about open points.
- 03
Quote
You receive a quote with the agreed scope – on request including loading and crane organisation.
- 04
Execution
Taking over the prepared machine, loading as agreed, transport and handover in the same condition.
Questions and answers: Handing over a machine ready for transport
What happens if the machine is not ready on collection day?
Then it cannot be loaded. Waiting time or a new date are agreed separately – that is why we ask for the dismantling team's completion date beforehand.
Who disconnects the machine from power and compressed air?
A qualified person from your company or the manufacturer. This ensures the machine is disconnected properly and safe for transport.
Do tools and workpieces have to be removed?
Yes. Loose parts are removed and packed separately or recorded in the parts list so that they do not shift en route.
