Key Shipping Risks for Car Engines

Be aware of these 4 common risks when booking LTL freight.

• !Car Engines: Fluid leakage resulting in environmental damage claims and carrier surcharges for hazardous material cleanup.
• !Car Engines: Internal damage from heavy vibration or impact during transit due to the engine's dense, concentrated weight.
• !Car Engines: High risk of theft or pilferage for high-value engine components or complete assemblies.
• !Car Engines: NMFC reclassification risks if engine is not properly drained, cleaned, and crated as 'used' vs 'remanufactured'.

Packaging Requirements (4 Steps)

Follow these steps exactly to avoid reclassification fees and damage claims.

1. 1For safe Car Engines transport: Drain all fluids completely and seal all ports to prevent leakage during LTL handling.
2. 2For safe Car Engines transport: Secure engine to a reinforced, heat-treated wood pallet using heavy-duty steel banding or carriage bolts.
3. 3For safe Car Engines transport: Construct a custom-fitted ISPM-15 compliant wooden crate to prevent puncture and load shifting.
4. 4For safe Car Engines transport: Label clearly with 'This Side Up' indicators and 'Heavy/Top Load Only' to prevent crushing during stacking.
