3. Securely strap the equipment in place (continued):
Assemblies weighing 1000 lbs. (454 kg) or less:
3/4” x 0.029” metal strapping, 3320 lbs. (1509 kg) tensile strength
Minimum two straps
Assemblies weighing more than 1000 lbs. (454 kg) or less:
1-1/4” x 0.031” metal strapping, 5500 lbs. (2500 kg) tensile strength
Minimum two straps for assemblies weighing less than 5000 lbs. (2273 kg)
Minimum three straps for assemblies weighing more than 5000 lbs. (2273 kg)
Before tightening strapping, place strapping protectors wherever the metal strapping comes into contact with the
equipment.
Place the wooden crate containing the tong accessories on the crate next to the equipment. Strap the crate to the
pallet using 3/4” x 0.029” metal strapping. If it is not practical to place larger loose items in a wooden crate, ensure
they are also securely strapped to the pallet using 3/4” x 0.029” metal strapping.
4. Use a large polyethylene shipping bag (sometimes called a pallet cover) to completely enclose the equipment. Seal
polyethylene bag to the pallet using 1 mil polyethylene wrap. Use the wrap to conform the plastic cover to the general
shape of the equipment, but do not wrap so tight that sharp edges on the equipment perforate the cover.
5. McCoy recommends enclosing the equipment in a sturdy shipping crate which is securely fastened to the pallet.
