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 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. Label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers will handle them appropriately.
For light fixtures and lighting components, choose reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. DNA recommends individually protecting each unit 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.
