Storage & logistics

For garages and wholesalers, proper storage of remanufactured turbos is essential to maintain their performance and longevity. These units should be kept in a climate-controlled environment, free from excessive humidity or temperature fluctuations, which can degrade internal components. Regular inventory rotation ensures that older stock is used first, preventing the risk of parts becoming obsolete or degraded over time. When handling turbos, avoid dropping or mishandling them, as internal seals and bearings are sensitive to impact. For bulk packaging, use sturdy shelving and clear labeling to streamline picking and reduce errors during order fulfillment. Always store turbos in their original packaging until ready for use, as this protects them from dust and contaminants that could affect performance.
