- **Storage Size/Dimensions:** Minimum 150 square feet, or a 10ft x 15ft area. Height clearance: 12 feet is recommended for efficient storage. - **Storage Conditions:** Dry storage is essential. The area must be well-ventilated to prevent dust accumulation. Protect from direct sunlight. - **Special Handling:** Copper rods are considered fragile. Each rod should be individually wrapped in protective padding – bubble wrap or foam sheeting – to prevent scratches and dents. Palletizing is highly recommended. - **Stacking/Shelving:** Items can be stacked up to 5 pallets high, utilizing standard 48” wide shelving. Pallet dimensions should be 48” x 40”. Consider using shelving with adjustable heights to maximize space utilization. - **Access Requirements:** A loading dock with a minimum width of 12 feet is required for truck access. The receiving door should be at least 9 feet wide with a clear opening of 8 feet. A minimum aisle width of 8 feet is needed for equipment maneuverability. Ensure adequate clearance around shelving units for forklift operation. Secure tie-down points on shelves are advised for added stability.

Secure individual wrapping and palletizing are mandatory. Avoid direct sunlight exposure during storage and transit.

Copper rods must be individually wrapped and palletized to prevent scratches and damage. Pallet dimensions must comply with transportation standards.

Loading dock requirements (e.g., 48-inch height) and specialized equipment may be necessary for safe handling.

Shipping costs depend on distance, handling complexity, and compliance with NMFC code 104380 (suggested).
