Gearbox Shims
Gearbox Shims Freight
About this Product
Gearbox shims require careful shipping to maintain precision and functionality. Individual wrapping in protective paper or bubble wrap is essential, with foam inserts recommended for added safeguards. Avoid palletizing; instead, use adjustable shelving with 18-inch spacing for easy retrieval. Storage areas must remain dry, well-ventilated, and free from direct sunlight.
