Hi everybody,
I will have to transport a pair of Beolab Pentas over quite a distance next week-end. Is there anything I should consider? What's the best way to do this?
Thanks very much!
Rgds,

Something like this. Send these to Greece long time ago. Beolabs were packed separately.
Have the original boxes now and they are huge..

Best way is in a van/estate wrapped up laid flat with feet removed.
I am bringing my lab1's to France with a very full load ( lots of B&O) so I made up wooden boxes. Just had a sheet of mdf cut into lenght's and screwed the lot up. Might sound ott but they will be have a lot stacked on top of them.
Moved my 6 lab1's in three international moves always in original packaging, reinforced with bubble wrapping and upright, base feet removed. In the trailer, don't give room, ie make it tight. Nothing on top. Worked well, not one single scratch or dent.
I've done this a few times by using a large duvet underneath, laying them flat and packing pillows between and to the side of them to stop them moving and then another duvet on top. This stops them rolling on corners and takes out vibrations from the drive. Perfect results every time. I did not take the feet off either.

Same here - lots of padding with soft furnishings - however was not taking anything else!

I will be shipping (literally by ship) some items to the Philippines this spring. My biggest worry is, if you pack too tightly, there will be moist/condensation building up underneath the wrapping and this is not only causing rot and moldy spots but also kill the electrics and electronics.
So need to find a way to keep things dry.
Silica gel packs inside the wrapping.

This is a good idea, thanks. I was thinking about using rice.
Picked up by a courier from Holland to Greece, door to door, safest way! Or else this will happen!
I once used Craters & Freighters to ship a pair from South Florida to North Florida. Cost $hundreds but it was worth it - they arrived without a scratch.
