About this Product
Used tools should be shipped in dry, well-ventilated containers to prevent damage. Use pallets or shelving to elevate items off the floor and avoid direct floor contact. Secure delicate tools with padding and label all packages clearly. For bulk shipments, pallet storage and adjustable shelving maximize space efficiency. Ensure proper loading dock access for smooth handling.
