Storage & logistics
For professional buyers, proper storage of remanufactured turbos is essential to maintain their condition until installation. These components should be kept in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent condensation and corrosion, which can compromise the turbo’s internal components. Regular stock rotation ensures that older units are used first, reducing the risk of degradation over time. Bulk orders should be palletized and protected from dust and moisture, while individual units require sealed packaging to preserve their calibrated state. Logistics partners must adhere to these standards to deliver that the turbos arrive in the same condition as when they left the supplier, ready for immediate use in a workshop or vehicle.
