Thank you for your excellent question about how we package our urban benches for shipping! It's a crucial part of our process, and we take immense pride in ensuring every bench arrives in perfect condition, ready for immediate installation in your community.
We understand that urban benches are significant investments designed for public spaces, and their journey from our facility to your location must be protected. Here’s a detailed look at our meticulous packaging protocol:
First, each bench undergoes a thorough pre-shipment inspection and is meticulously cleaned. We then apply a protective wrap to guard the surface against scratches and dust during transit. For the bench structure itself, we use high-quality, heavy-duty materials. Key components and fragile parts are often cushioned with custom-cut foam corner protectors and edge guards.
The core of our strategy involves robust, custom-built wooden crates or heavy-duty cardboard pallets. The bench is securely mounted inside this framework to prevent any movement. We use straps and padded blocking to immobilize the product completely. This crate is engineered to withstand the pressures of stacking and the general rigors of cross-country or international shipping.
For international sea freight, we take extra precautions, sometimes including a vapor barrier or desiccant packets to protect against moisture and humidity. Every package is clearly labeled with handling instructions and "Fragile" stickers to alert logistics personnel.
Our goal is simple: when you open the crate, your urban bench should look exactly as it did when it left our factory, ensuring a smooth and successful project completion. We are committed to a seamless, worry-free experience from our door to your site.
