Key Shipping Risks for Hydraulic Cylinders

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

  • !Hydraulic Cylinders: Hydraulic fluid leakage leading to environmental contamination and freight claims.
  • !Hydraulic Cylinders: Corrosion of precision-machined piston rods from moisture or humidity exposure.
  • !Hydraulic Cylinders: NMFC reclassification if weight-to-density ratio is miscalculated during carrier inspection.
  • !Hydraulic Cylinders: Internal seal damage caused by improper securement leading to vibrations during transit.

Packaging Requirements (4 Steps)

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

  1. 1For safe Hydraulic Cylinders transport: Drain all residual hydraulic fluids completely to prevent leakage and environmental contamination.
  2. 2For safe Hydraulic Cylinders transport: Secure cylinders to heavy-duty heat-treated wood pallets using steel banding or heavy-duty strapping.
  3. 3For safe Hydraulic Cylinders transport: Encase in a custom-built plywood crate with internal blocking to prevent lateral movement.
  4. 4For safe Hydraulic Cylinders transport: Apply rust-preventative VCI film to exposed rods and clearly label crate as 'Fragile - Hydraulic Component'.
