Stone Logistics, Storage, Handling and Site Safety<\/h1>\n

Logistics begins in the design<\/h2>\n

Piece size, weight, access and installation sequence influence joints and fabrication. Confirm road, crane, lift, doorway and floor restrictions before approving large slabs.<\/p>\n

Plan who provides lifting equipment, temporary storage and competent operators.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Packing and transport<\/h2>\n

Crates and A-frames must support pieces in the correct orientation, separate finished faces and protect edges without trapping harmful moisture.<\/p>\n

Packing lists should match piece numbers and installation zones. Loads must be restrained and opened safely.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Storage on site<\/h2>\n

Use stable, level supports with sufficient capacity. Keep crates away from traffic and excavations, and protect stone from impact, contamination and uncontrolled weather.<\/p>\n

Some slabs must remain near vertical; some carved pieces require shaped supports. Never assume identical storage for every component.<\/p>\n

\n

Lifting and installation<\/h2>\n

Select clamps, suction equipment, slings or inserts for stone finish, weight and geometry. Verify rated capacity and manufacturer instructions.<\/p>\n

Trial lifts and tag lines help control rotation. Permanent lifting inserts require design and traceability.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Documentation and site culture<\/h2>\n

Keep weights, centre-of-gravity information, lifting drawings, inspections and operator authorisations available. Stop when conditions differ from the plan.<\/p>\n

Good housekeeping, protected routes and timely delivery reduce both accidents and damage to expensive stone.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
