Industrial Products

Industrial Products are products that are intended for business or commercial use. Sometimes, these products can be large in size and weight.

It is important to maintain the integrity of these products throughout the distribution process. The products will often experience a variety of stresses throughout transportation and they should be packaged accordingly.

Oftentimes, companies order industrial products to further their own business operations. They expect the product to arrive in a timely manner and ready to be put into operation when it arrives. Qualified and experienced in testing large shipping containers and palletized loads, Keystone can help ensure that the product will reach its destination safely.

Shipping is one of the steps in the distribution process that will cause the most stresses on an industrial product. For example, if the product is shipped via ocean freight, it is more likely to be exposed to moisture, salt, and in some cases even drops and shifting inside the cargo hold. For this type of shipping, it is important that the packaging can withstand changes in humidity using conditioning testing such as ASTM D4169. Railway shipping subjects products to vibrations and bumps along the tracks. The packaging should be tested for its ability to withstand vibrations. 

Shipping via truck transportation will have many stresses. The truck can go through temperature variations. The packages inside the truck will experience impacts from bumps in the road and compression from other packages. Regardless of the shipping method, packaging should be tested to ensure your product is fully protected on the journey to the customer.
