DELIVERY & INSTALLATION
MACS Cooler modules and their components are built off-site and then transported by truck and trailer to the location where they will be installed.
(See below for photos and descriptions of the process).
A MACS Cooler module (1/2 of a 2-module system) being transported to the job-site at Western Precooling Systems in Oxnard, CA. The load is over-height and over-width and rides 7-8″ above the road bed.
The module is lowered with hydraulics from the special trailer rigging and the trailer is pulled away. The module is then “floated” into place by means of air bearings placed at 4 corners.
At Bonita Packing in Santa Maria, CA, a MACS module is backed into the wall opening in the cold room.
It is carefully guided through the opening and lowered to the smooth concrete.
The trailer is detached and pulled away from the first module.
After dropping off the second module, the trailer is pulled away. Final positioning of the second module to the first is done using air bearings on smooth and flat concrete.
