When moving mixed loads of building products such as lamps, hand tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and add corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers do handle them appropriately.
