Pallets and packaging for the machinery industry
Machines are rarely standard. They are large, heavy, complex in shape and often made up of fragile components. This places high demands on transport and handling, starting from the moment parts are moved internally. Foresco designs and supplies pallets and packaging for the machinery industry, tailored to weight, shape and fragility. Solutions with the right load-bearing capacity, protecting vulnerable components and providing certainty from factory to final destination.
Where bespoke solutions are indispensable
Machine parts often include protruding sections, precision-engineered components and sensitive electronics. They also need to be moved internally, stored temporarily or shipped worldwide. Standard solutions quickly fall short here. Pallets are needed that can safely bear the weight, as well as packaging that protects against shocks, vibrations, moisture and temperature fluctuations. In machinery construction, bespoke solutions are therefore not an added extra, but an essential requirement.
Pallets for heavy components and internal transport
Motors, frames, castings and assemblies can weigh anything from hundreds of kilos to several tonnes. Foresco supplies pallets specifically developed for this purpose, with adjusted dimensions, reinforced constructions and bottom decks suited to the weight and handling system. We advise on the right pallet type for your situation, tailored to internal transport, storage and logistics processes. For international shipments, our wooden pallets comply with ISPM 15 (HT), ensuring exports proceed without delay.
Packaging that protects machinery
Once a machine leaves the factory, the logistical challenge changes. Long transport routes, multiple transfer points and varying conditions require protection that goes beyond load-bearing alone. Foresco develops wooden transport crates with an exact fit, using wall thicknesses and constructions based on weight and method of transport. Securing points prevent movement, while the available space is used as efficiently as possible. This ensures the machine arrives in the same condition in which it was built.
Wood as the logical choice
Wood offers a strong combination of load-bearing strength and shock absorption. It dampens vibrations, can be shaped precisely and is highly suitable for bespoke pallet and packaging solutions. Fixing points, cut-outs and adapted constructions make it possible to transport even complex machines safely. In addition, wood fits within a circular approach. Pallets are repaired and reused, while packaging is designed with efficient material use and reusability in mind.
Experience across a wide range of machinery sectors
The machinery industry includes many specialisms. Equipment for the food industry places different demands on packaging from machines used in the semiconductor or metalworking sectors. One application may require hygienic pallets and modular packaging, while another calls for additional protection against vibrations or extreme loads. Foresco has experience with these differences and translates them into solutions that match the machine, the sector and the logistics chain.
From design to loading
Our role does not stop at production and delivery. We are happy to think along with you about the entire logistics process, from the right pallet design to the optimum packaging and loading method. For complex or large machines, our specialists can visit your site to advise or pack on location. In this way, we ensure machines are loaded safely, transported efficiently and arrive at their destination without surprises.
A reliable partner for the machinery industry
For many machine builders, Foresco is a trusted long-term partner. From our sites in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Scandinavia, we ensure short lines of communication and fast availability. We supply pallets within short lead times and wooden packaging according to clear agreements. With a focus on quality, reliability and sustainability, we support machine builders with transport solutions that are just as well thought through as the machines themselves.
