Grates
Grates Freight
About this Product
Grates should be shipped in dry, well-ventilated environments to prevent damage. Use pallet racking for vertical storage and ensure secure stacking to avoid scratches. Loading docks must provide 10ft clearance for forklifts, and individual wrapping is recommended for decorative grates. Proper labeling and organized shelving optimize retrieval efficiency.
