Expanding Machines

What is wasted on machines and why does this count for your project?

Verkratten is the custom packaging and securing of machines in wooden boxes or crates for safe road, air or sea transport and storage. This prevents transport damage, limits downtime and ensures that your shipment is accepted worldwide. In addition, Pol Industrial Movements combines packaging, lifting, transport and storage under one roof, so that you have a single point of contact from start to finish.

How does it work step by step?

• Recording and plan: we measure, weigh and assess lifting points, center of gravity and route. Based on this, we make a schedule that suits your downtime.
• Engineering and custom kit: we design an ISPM 15 box or crate with internal fixation and, where necessary, a skid or deck.
• Protection: depending on sensitivity, we use VCI materials or vacuum/barrier film with drying agents.
• Anchoring and securing: we secure the machine in accordance with European best practices (EN 12195-1) with lashing straps, blocking systems and reinforcements.
• Monitoring and documentation: we place shock and tilt indicators, mark the box and provide a photo report and packing list.
• Transport and delivery: thanks to our own hoisting and transport equipment, we take care of the entire process up to collection or installation.

What materials and options can you choose?

• ISPM 15 wood export boxes/crates with IPPC marking
• Skids and decks for a stable base and easy securing
• Vacuum packaging with aluminium barrier film and desiccants
• VCI foil or paper for active corrosion protection
• Custom-made shock-absorbing inlays and internal fixation
• Shock/tilt indicators for visible transport control

How do you ensure safety and compliance (ISPM 15 and load securing)?

Wooden packaging for international shipments must comply with ISPM 15 and bear an IPPC marking. For cargo securing, we use European guidelines such as EN 12195-1 and industry best practices. This way, you reduce risks and prevent delays or disapproval at border crossings.

Where and how fast can we package?

We package on location throughout Europe or in our own warehouse with warehousing as a buffer. On-site is ideal for limited downtime or tight spaces; in-house is useful if you want to bundle, consolidate or deliver JIT.

What makes Pol Industrial Movements unique for wasting machines?

• One total partner: lifting, packaging, warehousing and transport in one project team
• Own equipment: mini cranes, truck-mounted cranes, lifting and hoisting equipment, trailers/trailers

30 years of experience and European coverage

• Short lines: switch directly with permanent project leaders and planning
• Flexible storage and tight turnaround times

What does it cost to sell machines?

The price depends on dimensions/weight, choice of materials (box, skid, VCI/barrier film), desired protection level, indicators, location (on-site/in-house) and planning/urgency. Request a quick project scan or a competitive price indication; we'll respond quickly with a transparent calculation.
