When receiving material, check to see that the shipping documents match the shipment. Count the number of
packages and quantities within each package to the extent possible. Check for damage at the same time. If damage
or other discrepancies are found, write a note to that effect on the bill of lading, and have it signed by the driver.
Tubing and hat sections for large orders may be delivered via flatbed truck in bundles with metal bands. For
Smaller orders, tubing and hat sections may be in wood crates and delivered via flatbed or enclosed trailer. Fittings
and hardware are packaged heavy cardboard pallet crates. These materials are heavy and will require a fork lift or
crane to unload.
!
Do not lift bundles by the metal bands. Either use a fork lift from underneath, or use straps around the
entire bundle.
!
Do not lift wood crates by the slats or cross members. Either use a fork lift from underneath, or use straps
around the entire crate.
!
When using a fork lift, spread the forks as far as possible to balance the load. Drive slowly when moving
long bundles over uneven surfaces to avoid tipping the load.
!
When using a crane or any other type of hoist, position the sling straps so that the space between the
straps is at least 1/3 the length of the bundle. Use sling straps with looped ends, running one end of the
strap through the loop at the other end to cinch the bundle when lifted.
!
When setting the load on the roof, put wood blocks under it to protect the roof and allow space to
remove the sling straps.
