Cost-saving advice is part and
parcel of the service provided
by packaging specialists Cape
Crating – in evidence in a recent project
involving a 23-ton machine.
“It was wrapped in barrier foil
and crated but the lifting was on the
machine as opposed to the crate,” Cape
Crating’s Owen Bottomley explained.
“This option reduces the cost of
the crate as the base is not required
to be structurally suitable for lifting
it. The slings were purpose-made
and remain attached and travel with
the cargo which reduces the risk
profile as the cargo is moved along its
journey.
“Cost-saving advice is something in
which we take pride at Cape Crating,”
he said.
