SHIPPING THE MACHINE WITHOUT A PALLET
To ship a VMC a short distance, it may not be necessary to mount it on a pallet and crate if you
employ professional machinery movers. Nevertheless, you must make specific preparations for
moving it and certain precautions are necessary.
NOTE: We strongly recommend using an air-ride suspension truck to minimize
jarring the machine. It is well worth the few extra dollars involved. And make
sure to ask specifically for air-ride suspension -- not all riggers have trucks of
this type.
IMPORTANT!
1. All of the warnings and cautions in the previous sections of this manual apply to shipping without a
pallet  review them carefully.
2. Parts of an unprotected VMC can be damaged by heavy tarps, indiscriminate use of tie-downs,
etc. Therefore, it must be shipped in accordance with the following outlines.
