  The ProblemOur Customer had been successful in winning a contract to supply 12 x large skid units which were urgently bound for a mine in Venezuela. The slurry processing machines would extract small quantities of valuable metals. Each one had to be fully case packed even though it was 560 x 420 x 410cms (nearly 18 x 14 x 14 feet tall) and weighed 12 tonnes! The timescale was very tight as they all had to be packed within a 6 week timeframe. Further, a turn key solution of collection, packing on our premises and despatch was required.
The Solution
John Pipe international collected the units in pairs from their factory in the north of England, delivering into our Hampshire facility for export packing and then loading onto transport on completion. Two units per week every week had to be processed. Wide loads had to be notified to the Police in advance and heavy craneage positioned for unloading and re-loading to meet precise ship’s despatch times in Antwerp.
The Outcome
John Pipe international achieved all targets placed in front of them. Each skid was successfully collected, packed and despatched on time every time!
