Handling Material

CAUTION

Improper loading and unloading of bundles and

crates may result in bodily harm and/or

material damage. Metal Sales is not responsible for

bodily injuries and/or material

damages resulting from improper

loading and unloading.

General Handling

Each bundle should be handled carefully to avoid

being damaged. Care should be taken to prevent

bending of the panel or scratching the finish. When-

ever possible, the bundle should remain crated until

it is located in its place of storage. If bundles must

be opened, we recommend you recrate them before

lifting. To avoid damage please lift the bundle at its

center of gravity.

Delivery & Storage

Always check the shipment upon delivery. Check

for damage and check material quantities against

the shipping list. Note any damaged material or

shortages at the time of delivery and notify your

supplier within 24 hours.

Store the panels and other materials in a dry, well-

ventilated area away from traffic. Elevate one end

of the bundle, maximum 2', so that any moisture

that may have accumulated during shipping can

run off. Be sure that air will be able to circulate

freely around the bundles to avoid the build-up of

moisture. Never store materials in direct contact

with the ground.

Some products may have a peel off plastic film

over the painted surface. This film was factory

applied to prevent damage to the finish that

may occur during manufacturing or shipping. If

this film is present, avoid exposure of the “peel-

coated” parts to sunlight and remove the “peel-

coat” prior to installation.

Do not slide panels or accessories across one

another.
