Storage & logistics

For garages and wholesalers, storing reconditioned turbos requires attention to environmental conditions to prevent corrosion or damage to the variable geometry mechanism. Units should be kept in a dry, temperature-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight and contaminants. The packaging must also be robust enough to withstand handling during shipping and storage, ensuring that the turbo arrives in optimal condition. For bulk orders, palletized storage with clear labeling helps streamline inventory management, while individual units should be stored in sealed, anti-static bags to protect sensitive components like the CHRA. Regular inventory audits are recommended to track stock rotation and identify any units that may require re-inspection before sale.
