How should the used tiles be packaged for shipment to Armstrong?
|
1. Material must be clean, dry and in the acceptable category above.
| |
2. No wood, metal or construction debris of any kind can be
included. If C&D waste is included with ceilings, possible charges
can be incurred for disposal.
| |
3. Stack tiles on 4'x4' shipping pallets. Stack used tile 4' or 6' tall on
the pallets. Secure tiles on pallets with stretch wrap or metal bands.
You will need a pallet jack and possibly a forklift (depending on
dock) to maneuver the loaded pallets. Trailer capacity should be
maximized. (2'x4' pallets may be used if elevator space is limited.)
| |
4. All tiles should be straight on pallets and secured within the trailer
so that there is no risk of loads falling during transit or when pallets
are unloaded. Material must be wrapped tightly and packaged so
that pallets remain stable.

Many crews speed up the stacking by building a simple two-sided, free-standing frame. Note: Frame is not attached to pallet.
