Do not stack the packages as they are not built to
withstand such treatment.
The type of packaging used is based on the selected
transport vehicle, the number of electric pumps to be
sent and the destination.
For sea transport, suitable packaging is used to prevent
corrosion of the components.
The illustration alongside shows the most
common types of packaging used.
A) Packaging with pallet and protective
nylon cover
B) Packaging with wooden crate and
pallet
Storage
Upon receipt, the owner must prepare a suitable area for
placing and storing the merchandise.
The storage area must have a stable resting surface that
can support the load and is void of the risk of fire and
explosion.
