How do I pack my package right?

Each package is exposed to heavy loads during transport.
It is crucial that you choose a suitable inner and outer packaging for your device to prevent damages. Not using proper packaging may lead to the unit getting so damaged during transport, that it will not be repairable anymore!

We recommend double layered cardboard (approx. 0.5 cm thickness).
It is important to wrap the component in bubble wrap and to secure protruding parts. Lots of accessories such as the key ring or antennas should be fastened to the device with tape or wire.

The wrapped components should be secured on all sides with enough cushioning material. We recommend packing chips (styrofoam, Flo-Pack), air cushions, foam, but not crumpled paper. Please make sure that there is at least 5 cm distance between the unit and the packaging!
There should be a light internal pressure in the package, so that the device has no freedom of movement!
Note: We are not liable for improper packing leading to damages of the unit during transport!

Please make sure that there are no dangerous goods indicators or any other labels on the package! If your package has dangerous goods indicators on it, you will be charged extra.

Examples for dangerous goods indicators - costs arising from having them on the package will be invoiced to you separately.

Note: We are not liable for damages to the device that happen during transport due to improper packaging!

Please take a look at additional instructions for packaging particular devices:

ABS control units

It is important to secure the coils with crepe tape or other similar tape, so that they do not fall out and get bent or damaged.

The coils can get damaged

Transport-ready packaging

ATE control units

The pump motor connector can easily break off

ATE control units

Please make sure to secure the connection of the pump motor with extra care, as it can easily break off.

Cockpits

It is the very best to wrap Cockpits in bubble wrap as the plastic housing gets damaged damaged very easily.
Please make sure that you have cushioned the suspensions well, because they can easily break – as marked on the picture below.

Hydraulic units

Please remove the marked mounting piece before sending us the unit

Hydraulic units may be leaking brake fluid thus damaging the package. Wrap the block in cloth and pack it separately in a sealed plastic bag so that the fluid does not damage the control unit. The valve block is very heavy and must be fixed additionally. We also recommend to put the repair order form separately in a clear film. Fluids can make the order form unreadable.

Please disconnect the mounting brackets of the hydraulic unit (shown in the picture below), to facilitate the faster processing and better packaging of your device.
