Safe Transportation Guidelines for Shallow Air Flotation Devices
Proper transportation planning and protective measures are essential to prevent equipment damage and ensure safety during transit. Follow these guidelines for secure and efficient transport of your valuable equipment.
Pre-transport Inspection
- Conduct comprehensive inspection before transportation
- Check integrity of key components including tank body, air distribution system, and control panel
- Confirm all parts are firmly fixed to prevent loosening during transit
- Remove and package detachable components separately to reduce collision risk
- Document pre-transport condition for reference upon arrival
Proper Packaging
- Use shock-absorbing materials to wrap device body and key components
- For large equipment, use custom-made packaging boxes or brackets
- Ensure device is stably placed and cannot shift during transit
- Add waterproof materials to protect against rain or moisture
- Pay special attention to electrical components sensitive to water exposure
Vehicle & Route Selection
- Select vehicles with sufficient load-bearing capacity and stable platforms
- Ensure equipment can be placed smoothly and secured properly
- Avoid routes with severe bumps, sharp turns or construction sections
- Plan route to minimize vehicle vibration and potential impacts
- Consider road restrictions and clearances for oversized equipment
Loading & Unloading Procedures
- Use professional lifting equipment for all loading and unloading
- Select lifting points according to the equipment manual specifications
- Prevent deformation or damage caused by improper force application
- Ensure level ground and stable conditions during transfer operations
- Have trained personnel supervise all loading/unloading activities
Transport Monitoring
- Arrange designated personnel to supervise or maintain real-time contact
- Monitor transport status throughout the journey
- Address any abnormal situations such as packaging damage immediately
- Check for equipment shift or instability during transit stops
- Maintain communication with the transportation team at all times
Post-transport Procedures
- Unload equipment carefully following specified procedures
- Conduct secondary inspection upon arrival at destination
- Confirm device is completely intact before further handling
- Check all components against pre-transport documentation
- Only proceed to installation or storage after confirming no damage
