Transmission, Engine Shipping Cases: Smart Long-term Investment

Companies that enjoy buying Endural engine and transmission shipping cases can't imagine trusting their customers' products to any other storage and shipping option.

Cardboard boxes, of course, could never do the job for engines and transmissions weighing hundreds of pounds.

And wooden crates are prone to severe damage. By the time it comes back from a customer, it may not be in the right shape to carry another transmission or engine.

"Endural's product is good and the right size for what we do," says Roger "Buck" Bokholdt of Super D in Melrose, IL.

Endural customers get many uses over time -- 5 or even 10 years is not unusual depending on the number of turns. Even with the initial cost and shipping, customers say the shipping cases are an outstanding investment.

Once the engine shipping cases are in hand, businesses continually keep them in circulation until it's apparent that they should be retired. Eventually, if there is wear and tear from being in trucks or on forklifts, companies will stop using the cases.

Because they last so long, the containers also cut down on disposal costs. Endural, for years an advocate of green practices, welcomes returns through its successful recycling program.

Customers say Endural transmission and engine shipping containers have many other advantages, including worker safety and storage.

When empty, the cases take up limited room because of nesting. And before they're shipped, they're easy to stack. The overall design and plastic helps protect workers from serious injuries (unlike -- as opposed to wood shipping containers with sharp edges).

Most businesses say they don't mind the expected maintenance that comes with the transmission and engine shipping cases. It's simply a matter of cleaning them and removing labels. Occasionally, a strap may need to be repaired or replaced.

Endural transmission and engine cases consistently hold up over the long haul for companies that are concerned about storage, durability, safety and a positive Return on Investment (ROI).
