When transporting mixed loads of building products such as light fixtures, hand tools, and bulk Hardware, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights on top, and apply 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 will handle them appropriately.
