A tray is provided for transporting vehicle turbochargers which have a non-symmetrical shape which must be adequately supported to prevent movement thereof during shipment. The tray includes a plurality of cradles each of which receives a turbocharger and supports the turbocharger in such a fashion as to prevent longitudinal or transverse movement. Vertical movement is prevented by use of lids on the trays.
