Just goes to show almost every package turns up with some damage,your first pic shows this,you begin to think this normal,which in most cases it is,christ knows what they do with them in transit,treat them like footballs,thank god for the styrene trays,but I have had 1 problem where when my lg 1750 felbermayr turned up it must have been dropped a few to many times on it's end,the model was pushing threw the styrene and the box,which caused damage,but after a while it was rectified,
hope you enjoy this model,Steve.

hope you enjoy this model,Steve. Yea I was alittle worried when I saw the outer box in that shape, the other side of it wasn't any better, it only says Fragile on every side of the damn box, I guess they just throw them like footballs like you said, and yes thank god for styrene trays, nothing damaged on my model. Sorry to hear about what happened to your lg 1750, I had something like that happen to my 18000 extension kit, box was dropped from a good height and one of the sections was crushed  Anyway, the 11200 is definitely an enjoyable model!

Very nice purchase! Defiantly something on my list to get. The fragile markings on the box with the damage reminds me of what my father told me. He used to work for FedEx awhile back and when the box said that on it, he would be even more aggressive with the boxes than normal  lol

Haha, my father has worked for UPS for 20 years now, he has told me many times how some workers just toss the boxes into the trucks, although my father has never tossed them. Most of the workers just want to get the trucks loaded and go home as fast as they can. Fedex is even worse lol, they just kick them, punch them, smash them with fork lifts, etc. Damage will always be expected, that just means you better start packing your stuff up in twice the amount of bubble wrap and hope for the best Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgAq_KnDIPc&feature=relatedHe got to go home early!

Having owned this crane it is definitely the best (most featured) crane I've ever had.
I was sorry that I had to sell it but it is well worth getting if you can afford to keep it!!

Which ever way you look at it, the point of the matter is everything gets thrown around no matter what. There are 1000's of packages coming down the belt, take your time with one and see what happens when it starts to back up (and what your boss says after), end of story.

There is no reason to throw them or drop them, the end result of that could end up costing the retailers hundreds of dollars in damage Brandon, If the UPS guy had dropped my 11200 in front of me, I would have let my dog take care of him
