Railing transport is a demanding task that must follow precise procedures. Every detail must be carefully planned. Such transport should only be handled by professionals, as improper securing can result in damaged shipments and significant financial losses.
Types of railings
The method of securing railings for transport depends on several factors. Regardless of the type of railing or material used, proper insurance is key. Safe and efficient loading and unloading are crucial.
The most common types of railings include:
♦ glass railings,
♦ stainless steel railings,
♦ French railings,
♦ wooden railings,
♦ aluminum railings
Based on location, we distinguish:
♦ interior railings (stair railings),
♦ exterior railings (balcony railings)
The method of transporting and securing railings depends mainly on size, weight, and material.
In addition to transport services, our company also offers cost-effective warehousing, professional customs clearance services, ferry crossings, permit arrangements, tax formalities, supply chain management, cargo insurance, and more.
How is railing transport handled?
Railings must comply with their product type requirements, as outlined in the National Technical Assessment and National Declarations of Performance.
They are secured, packed, and transported as follows:
♦ as bundles (max 20 units),
♦ as posts bundled (max 60 units),
♦ as individual loads,
♦ placed and tied on pallets,
♦ delivered as assembly parts in boxes, cans, crates, or containers.
Proper storage is also critical. Railings must be stored on special bases that prevent direct contact with the floor. They must also be protected from dirt, weather, and other harmful external factors.
Securing and transport guidelines
Choosing the right transport method is crucial. Safety is paramount — many railings are made from high-value materials, and even small scratches can delay installation.
Each component must be wrapped in film or special protective foam. Railings are typically delivered on pallets, tied down and stabilized. Empty spaces between elements should be filled with packing material, such as paper sheets. The whole load should be strapped securely. No loose items should be present in the cargo area that could damage the shipment during sudden braking.
