The Importance of Proper Storage and Handling

Protecting Your Inventory: Best Practices for Storing and Handling ZF Transmission Components for Distributors

Introduction: Inventory as Capital

A distributor’s inventory of ZF transmission parts represents significant capital. Improper storage and handling can silently degrade component quality, leading to pre-mature failure and warranty claims.

This best practices guide from Tianjin XiaoHang Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. outlines essential procedures for protecting your investment before it reaches the customer.

Section 1: Preventing Contamination and Corrosion

The Two Silent Killers

• Contamination: Parts like friction plates, bearings, and solenoids must be stored in their sealed packaging, away from dust and humidity. Even microscopic particles can cause future internal damage.
• Corrosion: Unsealed steel components (e.g., shafts, discs) are susceptible to rust, especially in humid climates. Use climate-controlled areas where possible.

Section 2: Best Practices for High-Value Components

• Solenoids and Sensors: Store these electronic parts away from strong magnetic fields.
• Seal Kits: Do not store seals or O-rings under tension or near heat sources, as this degrades the polymer material.
