SHIP
-
Large / oversize body panels may be shipped using appropriately sized pallets if desired
-
Any door or tailgate which fits inside panel armor must be shipped as such unless Panel Armor is not available. In the absence of panel armor, completely pad and wrap the part
-
Fenders, decklids and hoods are required to be wrapped for shipping to ensure maximum protection while traveling on the trailering system
-
Use a pallet that is appropriately sized to match the part being shipped
-
Avoid using pallets that are too big for the part being shipped as they needlessly take up transportation space
-
To protect parts from side impact damage during transportation, body parts should not overhang the sides of the pallet
-
Use no fewer than two binding straps to secure the part to the pallet
– use a buffer like cardboard or styrofoam to prevent the strap from damaging painted surfaces or glass
