A multi-facet post. We are going to have to move some machines out of a building and the new one is not done yet. We do not have any choice on this. Decision was made to just purchase older semi flatbed trailers to use and store machines on them so they can be easily backed in later. Storage time is prob about 2-3mo.
1. I am looking for a means to spray all critical surfaces with a corrosion spray. I have used Fluid Film in the past but we need to ensure that whatever is selected is specifically designed for this. We want to spray all screws, guides, spindle tapers, etc, and any other measures that might be recommended.
2. We are considering heavy, semi transport type tarps but also considering better options that might come recommended. Still not sure if some type of shrink wrap would help before tarps are installed? Other ideas? Also, because we are storing on a soil surface, we considered building a temporary shelter over them to eliminate any water from getting on tarps.
3. Moisture is our primary concern here. Spring time will bring rain and cooler temps at times, giving optimal conditions for condensate. We have considered Damp Rid under the tarps but I am concerned that is a waste of money as moist air does not actively move through this product. ? Have thought about adding heat under the tarps and dehumidifiers but have to consider the practicality of this.
4. Moving skates. We have always borrowed these in the past and used several types. We are looking to just buy some and curious which ones you guys like? We seem to always fight with them trying to squirm, turn, etc. Have used both the nylon roller types and the steel track roller types. Riggers around here like the ones that don't turn. Not sure why....
