How a Steering Rack Should Be Packed for Export

The shape is the problem

A steering rack is roughly 1.2 metres long, weighs about 20 kilograms, and carries most of its mass at the motor end. The track rod ends stick out at both extremes. Stacked loose, the ends take the load.

The carton

Units are packed in custom-made cardboard boxes built for shock and impact, with protective foam securing the rack inside so it cannot move against the walls of the box.

The listed pack specification

The export carton is 124 x 22 x 38 cm at 20 kg gross. Those figures are fixed across the catalogue, which makes volumetric freight quoting predictable before an order is placed.

Palletising for volume

Multi-unit orders are stacked on wooden pallets, crated and banded before collection, so the load does not shift on the road leg to the port.

Tracking and damage cover

Every shipment leaves with a tracking number. Where products are damaged in transit, compensation coverage applies rather than a dispute after arrival.
