Project Overview
This manufacturer builds genset radiators, and the last step before each unit ships is packaging it for the trip to the customer. That step had become one of the slowest parts of getting a unit out the door. It ran on roll film, and wrapping each radiator took real time, tied up crew, and produced inconsistent results from one unit to the next. When the film did not hold, the failures came back as warranty claims.
The company needed packaging that went on quickly, protected the equipment the same way every time, and looked professional when the radiator reached the customer. Transhield was brought in to replace the film with a custom cover.
Challenges going in:
- Wrapping each radiator in roll film was time-consuming.
- The packaging step was labor-intensive and pulled crew away from other work.
- The film was unreliable and protected units inconsistently.
- Packaging failures turned into warranty claims.
The Transhield Solution
A Custom Cover, Not a Wrap
Transhield built a cover to fit the radiator and the equipment the crew had on hand for installation. Instead of wrapping film around each unit, the team now applies a cover made for the job. Every Transhield cover is custom, so the fit matches the application rather than forcing the crew to improvise around it.
A Process the Crew Can Repeat
The cover turned packaging into a standardized step that runs the same way every time. It goes on faster and with less labor than the film it replaced, and it cut down how often the crew had to work from ladders. That speed helped the manufacturer keep pace with its own customer demand instead of letting packaging set the ceiling.
Protection Built Into the Fabric
Transhield covers use a three-layer construction. The outer film is water-resistant and sheds rain and snow, while the soft inner layer sits against finished surfaces and pulls moisture away instead of trapping it against the metal. The radiator arrives covered and presentable rather than wrapped and with potential damage.
Project Results
Process and reliability
- Packaging is now much faster, safer, and repeatable.
- Packaging failures and the warranty claims that followed them were nearly eliminated.
Labor and efficiency
- Each unit takes less crew time to package, with less ladder work involved.
- The faster process helped the manufacturer keep up with its own customer demand.
Presentation
- Radiators reach customers with a clean, professional appearance.
- Every unit ships looking consistent rather than depending on how well the film was wrapped.
Have equipment that needs packaging you can run the same way every time? Let’s talk.
Every Transhield cover is made to match the equipment it protects, which turns packaging into a quick, repeatable step instead of a slow one.
