Computer numerical control (CNC) machines use computers to control the movement of tools and machinery in manufacturing. These machines have frequent use in metalworking and woodworking. Their complex components and large size usually require specialized freight shipping options.

The CNC Machining Center Shipping Process
Due to their complexity and size, this equipment often requires specialized transportation. Here’s how to ship CNC machines:
- Disassemble: Take off any detachable parts and pack them separately to prevent damage or loss.
- Prepare: Ensure the machine is ready to ship by cleaning it and removing any tools or accessories.
- Adjust: Make any necessary adjustments to protect sensitive parts on the CNC machine.
- Secure: To prepare for transport, bolt the machine to a pallet and add ratchet straps or fasten it in other ways.
- Wrap: Protect the machine during shipping with padding and plastic wrapping.
CNC machines are large and heavy, requiring specialized loading, unloading and transportation equipment. Their sensitive components call for increased care to prevent damage and preserve calibration. They may also need custom packaging or crating. The high value of these machines demands a smooth process that accounts for every detail.
