Some prevention things if you ever know you are getting another flood coming through and
which saves a lot of work afterwards is the centre boxes can be undone and the easiest
thing to do instead of getting an electrician out is to undo the cable ties and get a rope
and winch that centre box up with to a height you think it will be safe.
That is not going to stop the gear boxes from getting submerged but this is the major bit
of electrical equipment.
In terms of how much water can go up the machine before it will start be move that varies between
machines because some machines are heavier than others. But if these are just air only
in the tyres it will get to a point where it does take some of the weight and with a
velocity of flow there it could shift. If you knew you were in one of those situations
and it was going to happen fairly regularly you could make tie down points for the base
beams where you just use a turnbuckle and you tighten that down onto that tiedown post
and that would be where you could park the machine up generally.
