Can I transport an air compressor lying down?
If you are transporting a new air compressor from a manufacturer, it typically can be laid down with no problem. If you are shipping a used air compressor, you have to drain the oil from the compressor first and then it can be moved in the horizontal position as well. When it’s not drained, the air compressor with oil could cause leakage into the cylinder if the rings are not tight.
Should I pack industrial equipment and plant machinery for shipping with the van service?
There are no specific packaging instructions for transporting plant and industrial machinery in a van. However, if your goods are fragile or require any special care, we do recommend that you pack them accordingly to avoid damage.
