Storage - transport - handling

Storage and Transport

  • Suitable forklifts or construction cranes should be used for loading and unloading the profiles (with a lifting strap where necessary).
  • The packaging around the profiles must be protected against mechanical damage and against the harmful influences of moisture and atmospheric conditions.
  • Extruded profiles must be stored dry.
  • If you are storing the profiles outside, please ensure that they are covered and sufficiently ventilated.
  • In order to avoid warping, the profiles should be supported at several points along the entire length (e.g. using wooden slats) so that they are lying flat.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the profiles and do not stack pallets on top of each another.

Handling

  • Immediately after receiving your delivery: check the pallet and packaging for visible damage.
  • When unpacking, check the extruded profiles for damage.
  • The profiles must be packed and unpacked in a clean area.
  • Lift profiles and do not pull or push them over edges in order to avoid damaging them.
