Storage & logistics
For garages and wholesalers, storing exchange standard turbos requires controlled conditions to maintain their condition. Keep units in a dry, temperature-stable environment away from direct sunlight and contaminants. Label each turbo with its reference and motorization compatibility to simplify inventory management. Rotate stock regularly to ensure older units are used first, reducing the risk of obsolescence. Use sturdy shelving and protective packaging to prevent physical damage during handling and transport.
