When moving mixed loads of construction goods such as light fixtures, hand tools, and bulk fasteners, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights on top, and apply corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Prominently label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers will handle them appropriately.
For lamps and light fittings, choose reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. DNA recommends Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive building supplies such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting must be protected with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, Combined with desiccant packs. Select enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and Avoid long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
