Loading & Unloading:
Site deliveries should preferably only be made where suitable mechanical handling equipment is available on site. the delivered material must be treated with care. Lifting must only be carried out from the sides and the forklift truck tines must pass below a complete bundle. tines must never be inserted into the end of the bundle, unless provision is made such as special packing and/or extended tines, otherwise the safety limits of the lifting vehicle may be exceeded and damage may be caused to the equipment being lifted. for unloading by crane suitable lifting beams should be inserted from side to side beneath a bundle and these must be sufficiently long to avoid undue pressure on the edges of the bottom components.The tensioned banding used for securing bundles of equipment during transport is not suitable for lifting purposes. when cutting and bending appropriate eye protection must be worn to avoid injury. Sheared steel (particularly pre galvanized or stainless steel) does have relatively sharp edges and protective gloves must be worn during handling.

Storage Conditions:
Warehousing of product should be roofed and aired premises. Keep away from water. For protection of uncovered places damaged at assembly spray zinc paint is recommended. Wet storage stain (white rust) is caused by the entrapment of moisture between surface of closely packed and poorly ventilated material for an extened period. wet storage stain is usually superficial, having no affect on the properties of the metal. Light staining normally disappears with weathering. Medium to heavy build up should be removed in order to allow the formation of normal protective film. Proper handling and storage will help to assure stain-free material. if the product arrives wet, it should be unpacked and dried before storage. Dry material should be stored in a well ventilated low moisture “environment
to avoid condensation formation.
