[Shop-talk] Shipping a gearbox

[eric at megageek.com]

>Neil ask about shipping a gearbox.

I'm not sure what size you are talking about, but here are some ideas.

Anything over 75 or 80 lbs should be palletized.  You can make a pallet 
just larger than the unit.

I simple way to do it is to find a hard sized box (wood or metal.)  then 
bolt the gearbox to the pallet and the box. Go from the bottom of the top 
layer of the pallet, through the box's floor, and into mount points on the 
gearbox.

I hope this makes sense.  I would also cut out some cardboard pryrminds to 
tape to the top so then don't stack other items on top.

Let me know if you have any other quesitons.

Thanks

Mule
