About Handling Fir Stone
If you are a shop that works with Fir Stone material you may already know much of the information in this article. And if you are setting up a new shop and plan on working with Fir Stone this is information that you will most certainly need to know since it relates to
engineered quartz equipment. In this article we will talk about some of the material handling equipment that is needed to work with Fir Stone and how it makes your daily work easier.
Material Handling: What is Involved?
For Fir Stone products, material handling involves many of the same concepts as other engineered quartz. But what exactly does that entail? For one, material handling involves simply storing Fir Stone in a warehouse or a slab yard. Another part of material handling includes loading and unloading Fir Stone for vehicles. Finally, when we say "material handling", we may be talking about maneuvering and/or positioning Fir Stone slabs. This could be to cut the material or to finish it, either way, it is a facet of material handling.
Equipment for Storing Fir Stone
One piece of equipment that is an important part of material handling is the
buffalo rack for Fir Stone slabs. since a slab might not be used right away, fabricators use racks like these to keep Fir Stone in the shop or warehouse until they are ready to use that slab for a surface.
Fir Stone Transport Equipment
If workers in the fabrication shop were given an option of how to transport Fir Stone slabs, many would likely choose to use a piece of equipment like a
double sided a frame for Fir Stone because it makes the work load lighter in a sense. Being able to use a cart to transport slabs of Fir Stone across the warehouse or shop is practical. And having an a frame rack in a work van can provide a measure of stability during transport.
Fir Stone Loading Equipment
Fir Stone, like other kinds of materials used for surfaces is lifted multiple times throughout the fabrication process. Loading a Fir Stone slab onto a machine or truck as well as removing the same slab from those machines takes not only power, but also the ability to hold the slab. There are several machines available for lifting Fir Stone slabs as well as other materials. One such machine is a
Fir Stone vacuum lifter with hand pump and air connector. There are others too. The idea is use a piece of gear that will get ahold of the slab and not let go until the operator wants it to.
As we have seen in this article, handling Fir Stone products is much easier when you are well equipped to do it effectively. By making use of material handling equipment that we have mentioned in this discussion, you will be equipped for the tasks you will encounter along the way.
