Storage & logistics
For professional users, proper storage of exchange turbos is essential to maintain their condition until installation. These units should be kept in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent corrosion or seal degradation. Bulk packaging should be stored on shelves or pallets to avoid contact with concrete floors, which can introduce moisture. Regular inventory rotation ensures older stock is used first, reducing the risk of parts becoming obsolete or degraded over time. Suppliers should provide clear handling instructions to prevent accidental damage during unpacking or transport to the workshop.
