RECEIVING AND INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT
Even though most equipment is shipped crated, care should be taken during unloading so the equipment is not
damaged while being moved into the building.
1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package and skid or container. Any damage should be noted and reported
to the delivering carrier immediately.
2. If the damage appears minor, open and inspect the contents with the carrier. Take photographs of the packaging
before its opened. If the carrier is impatient & won’t wait, return the goods if the damage appears to be anything more
substantial then superficial harming of the external protective packing layers.
3. In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet upon opening, there is concealed damage to the equipment,
notify the carrier. Notification should be made verbally as well as in written form.
4. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the damaged equipment. This should be done within 10 days
from receipt of the equipment.
5. Be certain to check the compressor compartment housing and visually inspect the refrigeration package. Be sure
lines are secure and base is still intact.
6. Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms upon request.
7. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been made or waived.
