Main forms of packing of natural stone and methods for its loading and transportation.
As per international Norms, stone tiles for export must be packed in wooden boxes, each tile is to be separated by soft strips which will avoid friction during the trip. In the middle of the box the tiles must be separated by a wooden wedge. Inside the container the boxes must be tightly fastened to each other so that the boxes could not shift. Each box must have a mark indicating size and number of tiles.
Natural stone slabs are loaded into containers in wooden Bandel. Bandel must be firmly fastened and made of good wood. Slabs must be tightly compressed. There must be a plastic layer between each slab to avoid friction during the trip. Inside the container bandels of slabs are loaded alongside, 4-5 in a row. All bandels should be tightly and correctly fastened between each other and nailed down to the floor.
Blocks of granite and marble are loaded into containers with special crane girders.
It is recommended to put blocks on reils to avoid movement of blocks inside container.
