Yeah, I actually had a plan to stitch blankets together to make covers for the machines but was lacking time.
The trouble with loose blankets is that we had to store the machines in some areas in B&G where there were still people moving and working and we wanted them protected there too.
I still have this vision of making covers with strong canvas on the outside, and soft but firm stuff on the inside to really protect them from bumps etc. I must say the shrink wrap had one very positive effect during transport: we could put three upright machines next to eachother in the van, and where the machines touched eachother, shrink wrap really grabbed the other shrink wrap, thus making the cabs "bond" which prevented movement already. Of course we (actually, Erik, our load-master) also strapped everything, but it did help.
