My FT was very well packed and arrived in exactly the condition that it left it's old owner.

It was transported on its belly but had a small wooden pallet underneath it which meant the whole pallet was moved when required and not the all important base of the machine. Machine was covered in bubble wrap with extra material between the headbox and the steel rails. A cardboard frame was built and placed over it then the whole thing was wrapped in industrial clear cling wrap. The legs and bolts were then placed on top of the whole carton and more cling wrap was applied. Having the leg bolts on top hopefully stops some of these transport clowns placing other items on top of your machine and destroying it on its way to you.......

Good luck Mark.

PS - I used RTS Transport for my pin freight last week. Not sure I would use them again. Apparently they do AP discounts but mine was a bit exy and they don't pride themselves in contacting their customers....just my two cents. Perhaps touch base with Markc, he might be able to hook you up.

Cheers.
