How I make a pallet for freight shipping an industrial sewing machine. I have received machines that were far too broken to be usable anymore due to the damage that they incurred during shipping. It is heart breaking. I know that shippers have a job to do and I appreciate it. It is my experience that the damage received was more the result of improper packaging. I hope that this helps others to realize and employ better shipping methods and to understand what I do for my customers so that they are happy when they receive their machine.
Shipping and Handling will test and find any weakness in your packaging so it is best to go into a project like this with that in mind. Expect the unexpected and prepare for worst case scenarios, rough handling, rough roads, constant vibration, careless fork lift drivers, weather.
I try to use old, used, warped or otherwise reduced cost materials when I can. One way to get cheaper lumber is to buy cull lumber from the store. It is usually a package deal sort of thing. These materials are still strong and I never use rotten materials but these categories of materials still have good value especially for pallets and crates as you don't need them to look good to be good.
