Sintered Stone Packing and Transportation

Wooden Crate & A-Frame are two common methods used in Sintered Stone Packing & Transportation.

Single Panel/ Small Qty, will use of A-Frame (Positioned Vertically )

Large Qty, will need to pack in Wooden Crate. (Positioned Horizontally )

1. Wooden Crate Transportation

1.1 Wooden Crate Packing

When dealing with the transportation of large qty Sintered stone slabs. Separate each panel with pearl wool packing foam and use vacuum lifter to carry and stack the slabs into the crate accordingly. Strap the slabs in place and cover the lid. Reinforce the wooden crate with nails, metal plates and steel strapping.The wooden crate should be strong enough to against damage from vibration or bouncing. Lastly, attach crate’s Fumigation Certification and goods’ Packing Details on it.

When it comes to single slab panel, make use of a vacuum slab lifter or use at least two people to hold and unload the slab vertically, with one person on each end of the slab. Each person should grip the bottom edge of the granite, or have one hand on the bottom edge while placing the other on a side edge to stabilize the granite.
