Shipping Thermal Edge Air Conditioners: Safe Transit Best Practices

Shipping boxes, logistics truck, and Thermal Edge Electrical Enclosure Air Conditioner.

Ensuring the safe arrival of your Thermal Edge air conditioners is key to keeping your operations smooth and avoiding costly delays. Properly handling our units after testing is crucial for preventing damage during transit. In this blog, we’ll cover the best practices for shipping our air conditioners, so your shipments arrive safely and ready to use.

Repackage After Testing

If your Thermal Edge air conditioner was unboxed for testing or fitting into an enclosure, make sure to repackage it carefully before shipping. Here’s how:

  • Use the Original Packaging: Ensure the air conditioner is placed back into its original, undamaged packaging. This packaging is specifically designed to provide the necessary protection during transit.
  • Properly Secure on the Pallet: Strap the air conditioner securely in an upright position to the center of the original, undamaged pallet. This prevents movement and reduces the risk of damage in transit.

Shipping When Mounted to an Enclosure

When shipping an air conditioner that is already mounted onto an electrical enclosure, follow these steps for safe transport:

  • Use Vibration-Absorbing Pallets: Ensure the entire enclosure and air conditioner assembly is secured onto a shock-absorbing pallet. These pallets reduce the vibrations that can occur during shipping and help prevent damage.
  • Secure and Brace the Air Conditioner: The air conditioner should be fully mounted to the cabinet, but also supported with bracing materials. This distributes the weight of the unit across the pallet, preventing unnecessary strain on the air conditioner and reducing the risk of damage.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can prevent costly damage and ensure your Thermal Edge air conditioner arrives at its destination in perfect condition. Whether shipping separately or mounted to an enclosure, properly securing and protecting your shipment is crucial to maintaining the performance and reliability of our products.
