A couple of cheapy ratchet straps will hold it down, and if you have access to some, wrapping it with industrial cling film will offer a degree of protection :y

The firm I usually work for is a Pall Ex member :y seems to be a reasonable way to send bulkier things around without braking the bank, and being smaller local firms, you actually get service :y

Which is nice ::)

Post by: cem_devecioglu on 02 August 2013, 09:49:44: C25XE 176 kgs so an assumption of 180 kg wont be far :y

ps: someone weighted x25xe without flywheel, exhaust manifold, alternator, power steering, ac compressor and oil is 150 kg
