AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE

Powertrain Repacking

When heavy powertrain products need to be repacked Evans has the knowledge and the equipment to accomplish it. We are experts in repacking engines, axles, transmissions and batteries using air-powered hoists to delicately lift heavy items and place them in a bins, totes or racks. 

Quality Inspection & Containment

As recalled or damaged products arise, Evans has a strong inventory tracking system to simplify the process. All inventory is meticulously tracked by serial number. Products are immediately segregated to be held back or shipped to another location. We also provide inspection for overseas products before they reach the plant.

Flex Storage

The automotive industry is known for needing overflow capacity quickly. Our convenient storage locations surrounding the manufacturing plants makes us an ideal 3PL partner. We accommodate short-term and long-term storage solutions quickly.

Digital Image Inventory

Automotive customers benefit greatly from a digital image inventory system. The warehouse management system tracks products by serial number and image making it easier to see equipment and prepare it for resale.

Temperature & Humidity Controlled Storage

As more low emission vehicles go to market, the storage of lithium ion batteries becomes more prevalent. Evans has designated space that regulates the temperature and the humidity levels for optimal battery storage.

D. VendittiStellantis
"Evans maintained a very organized inventory of engines, it never ceased to amaze me on the quickness which Evans could find the right material when asked to review it, and they kept meticulous records for inventory status, which I would not normally expect or get from a 3rd party. It was good to work closely with Evans during the work that was allowed in the warehouse to protect our customer."
