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