The best stone companies are the ones that safely handle and store their materials. For those of us who sell stone, we know that is a big deal because the products we work with every day are heavy and dangerous. That’s why the safety of workers and visitors should always be the top priority. And a good place to start is with storage. Fortunately, there are proven methods that exist to help business owners safely store their materials. Since each company is unique, storage and handling procedures may vary to suit its specific needs.
The two proven methods to store slabs are A-frames and slab pole racks (aka bundle rails). Both are well-known systems, historically tried and true, and although there are many variations, the basic functions haven’t changed much over time. Each offers potential benefits or drawbacks, depending on the needs of the user.
