When transporting mixed loads of Construction materials such as lamps, Tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack 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 Can handle them appropriately.
