1. Planning and preparation before moving the machine: In general, In the industrial sector there will be migration. modify tool Machines are usually in two cases: buying new machines into an industrial plant or moving old machines to a new production site. Preparation and planning for relocation will have different methods as follows.

1.1 Moving old machines to new production sites : Planning and preparation involves the following steps:

• Check the readiness of the electrical system, the Internet system or the program at Various controls with technicians who take care of the machines to disassemble some pieces that can be removed before the encapsulation of the impact machine is damaged Including the assembly of wires or will I have to move the pipe system or other parts? If you have to move the pipes of various systems How do I have to assemble or install it back for normal use? If the mechanic is not confident enough about the details, it is best to contact the machine supplier for accurate disassembly information.
  
  
• Check the integrity of the area, both the old and new places. The new place to move the machine must be a bright area. well ventilated It is also important to consider the load capacity of the new floor, whether it is stable enough to withstand the weight of that type of machine without problems.

Another important thing to consider is whether the electrical system and the internet system connected to the various programs of the machine are ready for use with the machine being moved to a new place or not.

1.2 Moving the newly purchased machinery to your industrial factory : Because it is a new machine You may need to study and request information about the installation, use of various systems. Including the installation and relocation precautions from the supplier. There may be more preparation steps than the first case (1.1) we just mentioned as follows:

• Ask the supplier for important information about the machine from which you are purchasing new equipment, information that affects the preparation of work including delivery of the machine, advice on what to prepare or what needs to be done beforehand. New machines will arrive at our factory.
  
  
• Have information about electrical requirements and other necessities on-site. for orderly installation and move your new machine You may need to ask the supplier important questions such as: What is the power, what is the compressed air pneumatic system, what is the dust removal system, pressure, flow rate of the machine? , the communication system of the machine whether it is a cable or an Internet cable, etc. These data will help you prepare the entire power system. Location and equipment to install properly
  
  
• Check the completeness of the area as in the first case (1.1), both the environment of the area, the brightness, the load capacity of the machine, etc. These are the things you need to check and prepare. In addition, the matter of preparing the area for moving new machines should check whether the size of the door or the entrance of the machine is high and wide enough or not. more too

And if the new old machine you moved is not ready or can't be installed right away. You check that the method of keeping the machine. It can be stored in a high and low temperature not exceeding a few degrees Celsius without causing damage or deterioration.

2. Does your factory have all the equipment ready to move the machines?

By tools or labor-saving machines to help move large machines that the company accepts until the professional movers choose to use, there are many types such as

Jacks : In moving machines, jacks are specially designed, which is to have a steel out and a support for plugging under the machine and then lifting it up. In general, jacks for lifting machines have many types that are divided according to the load. of machines such as Jack for lifting machinery 5 tons or 10 tons, etc.

Single and double rollers : This type of tool has a steel structure with a base for placing medium-sized machines weighing no more than 10-12 under the base with wheels for traction. It has better abrasion resistance than other materials. The double roller is equipped with a base and 2 traction wheels. The advantage is that the distance can be adjusted according to the size of the machine or object.

Hand-drawn rollers: They are larger than single and double rollers. Can support up to 40-50 tons. The machine base is bigger, has the same wheels, but increases the convenience of moving with a handle.

Trolley : It is a labor-saving device for moving small-medium-sized machines that every factory or office should have. Because it can be used in a variety of applications, it is recommended to choose a stroller with a base with non-slip rubber padding as well.

Forklifts : They are commonly seen from large warehouses. This type of equipment is considered to provide the greatest convenience in that it is able to both easily move and move machinery or objects from the ground level or from a high place.

3. Professional and skilled machine movers : As mentioned above, if your factory has technicians who do not have the information or expertise in moving, it may be confusing to contact the supply. Er to request important information about machines including the preparation of manpower, equipment Various tools for moving machines.

IMPORTANT: If both the manpower and the equipment or tools you have are not available or not capable enough to move the machine then there is a greater risk of damage to your machine.

4. Encapsulation to prevent damage during machine transport: As you know, the importance of wrapping an item or machine is to prevent shock and damage to your machine.

Therefore, the material to cover your machine must be dense enough. Most of which used by machine moving companies are thick bubble wrap for outer wrapping of the machine, corrugated paper for wrapping around the corners of the machine. and nylon rope for tying between corrugated paper. Bubbles and machines are secured so they don't come off during transport and sometimes we add extra safety by loading crates before transport.

5. Installation of parts assembly when the machine arrives at the destination :

Good Move believes that this step is the most difficult because the complexity of the machine system will make it more difficult to disassemble and install if your operator is not knowledgeable. Specialized in disassembling and installing machines that need to be moved, it may be difficult to moving

Therefore, finding a company that has a professional team and has expertise in moving machinery will help reduce the hassle of finding information about the installation of shockproof wrap. And the disassembly of the machine also reduces the workload of the mechanic who supervises the machine as well.
