About this Product
Auto parts require careful shipping and handling to ensure durability and efficiency. Use dry, well-ventilated environments to prevent damage from moisture and dust. Prioritize pallet racking and adjustable shelving for bulk and small-item storage. Implement barcode scanning for accurate inventory tracking. For fragile or delicate components, use padded boxes and protective sheeting. Ensure proper clearance for forklift access and loading docks to streamline operations.
