Storage & logistics

For B2B customers, proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to preserve their condition before installation. These units should be kept in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and contaminants. Palletized storage with desiccant packs helps prevent moisture buildup, while clear labeling ensures quick identification of compatible models. Regular inventory rotation prevents stagnation, and core deposits should be managed with a system that tracks returns and refunds efficiently. This approach minimizes waste and ensures that turbos are ready for immediate use when needed.
