Is it allowed to transport air conditioners in private cars?
1 Answers
If a private car is used for profit-making purposes to transport air conditioners within a certain period, it is illegal and subject to penalties by relevant authorities. However, if it is for personal use and short-distance transportation, it is generally acceptable. Below is relevant information: Introduction to whether an air conditioner outdoor unit can be transported in the trunk: The size of the trunk varies among different car models. Generally, medium-sized cars can accommodate an air conditioner outdoor unit. The outdoor unit must not be placed horizontally during transportation. The compressor inside the outdoor unit is heavy, and if placed horizontally during transport, the fixed iron plate at the bottom of the compressor may deform due to vibration, potentially damaging the connected pipelines and the unit itself. Precautions for transporting air conditioner outdoor units: The outdoor unit should be kept in its normal upright position during transportation and not placed upside down. Avoid excessive jolting during transit. If the outdoor unit is laid flat or upside down, the suction and discharge pipelines connected to the compressor may deform or even break due to jolting, leading to damage to the air conditioner.
