There was also the Bridgeport that dumped. He pointed to a tiny hole in a thin pallet slat as evidence it was securely bolted down, but I'm not sure the machine was ever attached through that hole. Or how it could be, with the leveling bolt in place. There is no indication of a through bolt and washer ripping through. No sign of cribbing. Maybe just banding to a flimsy pallet? Does not seem nearly adequate for LTL.
I was able to read the name of the machine rebuilder who shipped it.
The 10ee came from a different source. It isn't clear how the machine was anchored, if. Cribbing? Bolt holes? The attachment of the pallet slats looks completely inadequate. It's possible it was just lifted too far toward the tailstock and toppled tail over head, then face (I could easily see that if lifted in the center with forks too narrow). Maybe a failure using banding.
I don't have much experience with using banding - plastic or metal - to hold machines down. In photos I often see one, maybe two bands, and no other retention. Given the limited breaking strength, let alone WLL, that is nowhere near adequate - especially as a sole means of retention.
