For industries like prefabricated modular construction and volumetric builders, data centers, and HVAC manufacturers, finding an efficient way to protect your large units is critical. Transhield protective covers provide a superior alternative to traditional shrink wrap, installing 50% faster: saving labor time and increasing your production throughput. With a simple and efficient process, Transhield covers can ensure your equipment is protected quickly, reducing downtime and maximizing productivity.
A Simple and Fast Installation Process
Unlike traditional shrink wrap, which requires multiple steps and sometimes extensive labor. Transhield covers are designed for quick, consistent, and simple application. Here’s how easy it is to install a Transhield cover:
- Prepare your Equipment – Blunt any sharp edges, corners, or protrusions that could snag, tear, or damage the cover during installation. This quick prep step ensures a smooth fit.
- Position the Cover – Unroll the cover from short side to short side over the unit, ensuring even alignment. Before fully draping, check that all four corners are positioned correctly.
- Secure the Cover – With the cover draped, tighten and fasten the designated securing mechanisms. Depending on the cover design, this may include:
- Webbing and buckles
- Underbelly ropes
- Other fastening features. This step ensures a snug fit while minimizing loose areas.
- Tighten the Perimeter – Secure the cover using the provided perimeter fastening mechanism. Depending on the cover type and design, this may include:
- Ratchet straps
- Shock cord with b-lock. This step ensures the cover stays firmly in place during transport or storage.
- Heat Shrink for a Custom Fit – For heat-shrink covers, apply a heat tool evenly over the surface to create a tight, form-fitting seal that provides maximum protection. Learn more about how to use a heat tool.
- Inspect and Reinforce – Use Transhield tape or shrink tape to cover any minor burn holes or weakened material caused during the heat shrinking process.
- Ready for Transport or Storage – Once secured and fitted, the cover is ready to protect your equipment for transport or storage.
