Flatbed or step deck
Compare rail/support spacing, loading access and the final height including blocks.
Does the skid footprint match the structural support?
Generators & industrial skids
The outside enclosure dimensions do not identify the load-bearing skid rails or centre of gravity. Obtain the transport drawing for the complete assembly.
Define the transported assembly
The enclosure dimensions of a generator or industrial package do not identify its load-bearing rails. Obtain the packaged shipping drawing, including retained fluids, accessories and lifting equipment. Keep dry, operating and shipping weight bases visibly separate.
Double drop
Investigate a lower loaded height only if the skid supports fit the clear well without bearing on transitions.
Carry these details into the load plan
- Skid rails, feet and approved support locations
- Packaged shipping weight and centre of gravity
- Lifting/forklift access and dunnage height
A device-local worksheet for measurements, sources and unresolved questions.
Measure before selecting
- Skid contact rails and support spacing
- Total packaged height with dunnage
- Lifting-point access and enclosure width
- Shipping weight including retained fluids
Loading approach
Confirm lift or forklift access, lifting mass and fork-pocket positions. Maintain room to remove rigging after placement.
Support & load concentration
Locate the skid rails over suitable structure. Check whether levelling blocks, isolators or delicate equipment prohibit support at other points.
Configuration traps
A generator may have different dry, operating and packaged shipping weights. Retain the correct basis.
Build a measured configuration brief →Build the load record
Keep the model reference, actual attachment configuration, measured transport envelope and support drawing together. A change to the machine or its loading position requires the affected comparisons to be updated.
Equipment links support research. Highway Match uses the measurements you enter and does not silently import a related model’s values.
