Industrial pump and motor service parts may include machined metal bodies, fittings and sensitive components. A packaging plan should consider both part weight and surface sensitivity.
This guide provides general packaging information. Validate critical applications with representative trials and supplier instructions.
Choose inner protection by part type
For heavy metal bodies, check carton base capacity and whether the part can move inside the box. Separate machined surfaces and trial suitable corrugated dividers, formed supports or compartment inserts on the actual part. Follow the manufacturer’s packing instructions for oily or contamination-sensitive components.
Close and identify the carton
Verify carton tape on a filled sample, considering case weight and board surface. Keep part number, quantity and orientation readable on the outer label; do not cover barcodes. Build a unit load suited to safe handling instead of placing a heavy component in an undersized carton.
Trial pallet distribution
Distribute cartons evenly and avoid overhang. Stretch wrap can help hold a sound load together, but it cannot compensate for an unsuitable pallet or unstable stacking. Record crushed cartons, surface marks and openings at dispatch and receipt.

Frequently asked questions
Is foam always required for pump parts?
Protection depends on component geometry, weight, surface and shipping conditions. Assess contact points using an actual sample.
Can heavy parts share one carton?
This may be considered when carton capacity, internal separation and safe handling are suitable; verify the weight and contact risk in a trial.
