Would that machine have a gravity drain or pump drain ?
Its a gravity drain, but I might rig up a drain pump in this machine. Whenever the motor is turning the impeller drops down and pushes a sealing disk down against the bottom of the tank to see off the drain hole from tank.
When you put a machine into one of their crates, does it have to be strapped down to the skid?
Not sure, this one wasn't tied down, but it was covered with a big rubber blanket to protect it.
