When Shipping mixed loads of construction goods such as Lighting, hand tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of light fixtures on top, and Use corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Clearly label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers do handle them appropriately.
For Lighting and light fittings, Use reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. Our team recommends Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Clearly mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy Construction materials on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive Construction materials such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting must be Wrapped with poly wrap and, where feasible, Combined with desiccant packs.
