Is cast-iron equipment that brittle? Several of our reaction kettle frames, reducers, and so on

Is cast iron equipment that brittle? The frames and reducers of several of our reaction vessels developed cracks during handling and installation. It seems that thorough monitoring is really necessary throughout the process of handling and installing cast iron equipment
Cast iron can absorb vibrations, and the result of this absorption is that it cracks. If I’m not mistaken, you workers have all worked in delivery companies – that’s really impressive. . .
It’s possible that the device comes with cracks already from the factory
Sigh,,,,, Let’s talk about the process for receiving the equipment upon arrival. First, the equipment is delivered to the site by the shipping company; it is necessary to check the packaging, including whether the wooden crates and other wrapping materials are damaged. If damaged, take photos, have the delivery staff sign for confirmation, and then the purchasing department sends these items to the equipment manufacturer by mail, who will then handle matters with the shipping company. Then, after negotiations, if unpacking and inspection are required, all three parties must be present (in cases where installation by the equipment manufacturer is needed, a representative must also be present): the project owner, the transporter, and the equipment manufacturer. Open the packaging attachment instructions box that comes with the equipment’s packing box, and follow the list inside to unpack the items. Check the quantity and inspect the surface of the equipment for any damage caused during transportation. Your equipment is all damaged; you shouldn’t accept it, and the equipment manufacturer should replace it. If this causes a delay in the project timeline, additional fines will apply. Also, cast iron is basically divided into two types: one is ductile iron, and the other is gray cast iron. There are also products made using special manufacturing techniques. Ordinary base frames are made of gray cast iron, which facilitates casting and processing. It doesn’t matter what materials they use; what’s important is how you choose the ones that suit you. (A kind piece of advice: while you’re still young and capable, change jobs as soon as possible.) Time is running out; if things continue like this, you might lose your position due to the associated risks. It was too late by then to choose other positions. To speak frankly. ）

Whether you are the client or the equipment manager on the vendor side, I strongly advise you to change companies.
