    Dimensions & Weight (Packaged)

    - **Storage Size/Dimensions**: Minimum 200 sq ft storage area, ideally 20ft x 10ft, with a height clearance of 9 feet to accommodate pallet racking or shelving. A dedicated area of 10ft x 12ft is recommended for overflow or bulk storage. - **Storage Conditions**: The storage area must be dry and well-ventilated. Avoid direct sunlight exposure. Ensure the floor is level and clean to prevent damage to containers. Dust and debris should be regularly removed. - **Special Handling**: Metal roofing screws are considered a fragile item. Each box or bag should be protected with padding such as bubble wrap or cardboard dividers. Avoid dropping or rough handling. Palletized loads require careful handling to prevent damage to the packaging. - **Stacking/Shelving**: Utilize pallet racking systems for efficient storage. Maximum stacking height should be limited to 4-5 pallets to maintain stability. Shelving units with adjustable shelves are suitable for smaller quantities and different screw sizes. - **Access Requirements**: A standard 12ft x 10ft loading dock is required for truck access. The dock door should be a minimum of 10ft wide with a clearance of 10ft on either side for maneuvering. Forklift access is essential for moving pallets. A clear aisle width of 8ft is needed for equipment movement.
