Shockproof material: Fill the gap between the equipment and the packaging box with cushioning materials such as foam, bubble wrap, etc., to reduce vibrations during transportation.

1. Heavy      Equipment:

Base design: Design a dedicated base or bracket for heavy equipment to ensure stability and reliability during transportation.

Special Mounting: design special mounts and fixing devices for ultra-wide and ultra-high equipment to ensure stability and reliability during transportation.

1. Electronic      equipment:

Anti-static materials: use anti-static packaging materials to wrap electronic devices, preventing static electricity from damaging the equipment.

Waterproof and moisture-proof: treat electronic devices with waterproof and moisture-proof measures, wrapping them in moisture-proof bags or film.

Packaging inspection and acceptance:

1. Internal      inspection:

Before packing goods, check if the internal packaging of the goods is complete, if there's sufficient cushioning material, and if the equipment is securely fixed.

1. External      inspection

Check if the external packaging box is intact and undamaged, with clear identification, proper waterproofing and moisture-proof measures in place.
