Packing Of Rainforest Green Marble Slabs
July 11, 2016 AdminIt is generally acknowledged that packing of slabs and tiles of granite and marble has to be safe and secure to prevent breakages during long transportation involved in the export-import business. This is particularly important for gangsaw random rain forest green marble slabs of 260 x 160cm up as they are rather big in size.
How Regatta packs marble slabs?
We, at Regatta Exports, ensure that the big slabs are loaded in the container at the factory itself rather than at the port to prevent multiple handlings. So the slabs are loaded into the container with the help of a crane or big forklift. Good quality wood is used to secure each bundle with the other and against the walls of the container to prevent even the slightest movement. We try to use the maximum amount of wood lashing to give support to the bundles and to make sure that they are packed tightly. Particular attention has to be paid to making them secure at the top and at the bottom to prevent sliding during the long journey.
We are ably assisted by our field staff and our shipment agent and we receive detailed step-step photos of the entire activity. Experienced managers in our head office monitor the procedure of lashing and loading in real-time (thanks to what’s app!) and if any corrections are required these made immediately. Ac record of the activity is maintained for future reference and we also send photos to the buyer to reassure them about the safe and secure packing of rainforest green marble slab.
Another important factor that is paid attention by Regatta Exports to is the weight balancing of the container of rain forest green marble. Since granite is heavy material and usually the 27 tons container is filled to the maximum weight we ensure loading balances the container for weight. For example, in the below picture the heavy slabs are loaded on the sides equally with lighter ones in the middle to make sure that the container is balanced for weight properly.
The challenge is to make sure that this process is followed and monitored carefully in every shipment and our capable staff ensures this.
