 |
|
What is the best way to package a Rotax 503 for shipping? I'm sending engine, gearbox and carbs. The guy who is overhauling it recommended a 30 x 17 x 17" 350 lb. Double Wall Corrugated Box with plywood and 2x4's on the bottom with the engine bolted to the 2x4's and then cushion with styrofoam sheeting. The box is rated to hold 150lbs and the sides are rated to take 350lbs of sidewall pressure. Others have said build a crate. If you recommend building a crate can you offer any design advice?

My 503 was shipped to me from Kolb in the original Rotax box. It was bolted to a 2x4 wooden base that filled the bottom of the box out to the edges. The box was a sturdy double wall that allowed quite a bit of room around the engine. Remove the carbs, bundle them in bubble wrap and put them in with the engine. Yellow Freight bent up a lot of my order, but the engine arrived in good shape.
