Storage & logistics
Bulk storage of 2.5 TD 103 hp turbos requires climate-controlled environments to prevent moisture damage and corrosion, particularly for remanufactured units with exposed metal components. Organize inventory by vehicle model and motorization to streamline picking and reduce errors during order fulfillment. Implement a first-in, first-out system to ensure turbos are dispatched before reaching their maximum shelf life, maintaining optimal performance for end users. For workshops, consider dedicated storage racks that protect turbos from dust and physical impact, preserving their condition until installation.
