When we talk about industrial machinery, we understand the various components, machines, structures and industrial products that other industries will use for specific tasks. Therefore, industrial loads can be very diverse in terms of size, weight and characteristics. Transporting these products is sometimes challenging because, in addition to being properly secured, a proper packaging system is required to protect the products from external conditions.
