How machines are lashed, which Incoterms to ask for, and what a lashing report should show before the container is sealed.
Packing
Small machines travel crated or shrink-wrapped on steel skids. Loaders and tank trucks are lashed directly to the container floor or shipped RORO. Exposed rods, glass and lights are wrapped before loading.

Before a container is sealed we photograph: the machine in position, every lashing point, the hour meter, the serial plate and the seal number. You receive the set the same day.
