How Moisture, Heat & Vibration Damage Goods in Transit?

When businesses plan shipments, most of the attention goes to delivery timelines, freight costs, and routes. But one critical factor is often overlooked: the environmental and physical forcesthat silently damage goods while they are in transit. Three of the biggest enemies of cargo safety are Moisture, Heat, & Vibration. These factors don’t just affect fragile products. They can damage electronics, food items, machinery, textiles, chemicals, and even heavy industrial goods. In many cases, the loss isn’t immediately visible but shows up later as a malfunction, spoilage, or reduced product life. Understanding how these forces work is essential for anyone involved in manufacturing, exporting, importing, or logistics. Let’s break down exactly how moisture, heat, and vibration damage goods and what businesses can do to prevent it.
