About this Product
Overhead doors require specialized freight handling due to their size and fragility. Ship on pallets with 4-inch sides, using foam or cardboard padding and straps for secure transport. Ensure proper stacking and forklift strategies to prevent damage. Dry storage with ventilation is essential, and loading docks must accommodate 12-foot width for efficient movement.
