In this section:


Inspection Upon Receipt


WARNINGWTC's shipping terms are "FOB: Shipping Point". Therefore, DO NOT SIGN THE BILL OF LADING UNTIL YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE BOX OR CRATE for Damage!

 

It is extremely important to examine the crate/packaging immediately upon delivery to your freight dock. If there is evidence of any damage, note it on the bill of lading before signing. If there is severe damage to the crate/packaging, do not sign the bill of ladding and refuse the shipment.

WTC's freight terms are FOB: Shipping Point. This means once the weld control is picked-up by the freight carrier at WTC's shipping dock, it becomes the customers ownership and responsibility (the company who issued the purchase order). Therfore, if any damage occurs to the weld control by the freight carrier during transit, it is the customers responsibility to identify it upon receipt and file the appropriate claim paperwork with the freight carrier to have it resolved.

inspect crate before accepting

Typically, domestic welding control shipments are either skidded standing upright, with multiple cabinet bolted together (back-to-back), or skidded laying flat (for taller enclosures). If the shipment is via ocean, welding controls are typically placed inside a special coated bag to prevent any potential salt water induced corrosive damage to the weld control.

WTC uses recycled shipping materials whenever possible (wood skids, packaging materials, etc.) If you have any concerns or questions regarding this practice, please contact WTC at (248-477-3800).


Lifting and Moving the Weld Control Cabinet


WARNINGcRATED WELD CONTROLS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE STACKED. MOVE ONLY BY EITHER FORKLIFT OR ASSISTED LIFT.

 

 

Lifting brackets / Eye bolts

WTC assembles most weld controls with a provision for lifting and moving the cabinet. Never attempt to lift any size weld control cabinet without using the lifting brackets or eye bolts. Dropping the welding control from even a short distance can cause severe damage and will void the warranty. NEVER put power on a welding control that has been dropped. If the weld control has been dropped, contact WTC as soon as possible.

NOTE: Technical service and support is available 24 hours a day from WTC.
