Material Handling and Lido
Although Lido is a man made material it shares a number of traits with natural stone surfaces. Whether you are working with it in a fabrication shop or are taking it to an installation site, you will no doubt have to handle Lido more than once. This means using engineered quartz equipment. In this article we are going to explore some of the equipment that is used to transport, position, and maneuver Lido material.
What is Material Handling?
Are you wondering what material handling entails? Discussing material handling and Lido products in depth would take quite a bit of time. But let's look at just three facets of Lido material handling. 1) moving Lido slabs, 2) loading and unloading them, and 3) storing them in a warehouse or slab yard. These aspects of material handling apply to any natural or man made product that exists in slab form; including Lido.
Lido Storage Equipment
One piece of equipment that is an important part of material handling is the Lido hippo slab rack. since a slab might not be used right away, fabricators use racks like these to keep Lido in the shop or warehouse until they are ready to use that slab for a surface.
Equipment for Transporting Lido
In a fabrication shop, slabs get moved from one location to another regularly. If workers were only able to carry Lido materials in slab form, think of how much more work it would take. Additionally, safety is factor as well. The more carrying that workers do, the more likely they are to become exhausted and then strength could become a factor. For situations where moving slabs of Lido are common, a double sided a frame for Lido or other product might be beneficial to have in the shop.
Unloading & Loading Lido
Loading and uloading Lido slabs involves lifting them onto racks, machines, or even trucks. Additionally, the slabs can be very heavy to lift to any significant height without the help of a machine; Lido slabs included. But how can these be hoisted up into a truck or onto a polishing table? Lifting equipment has to be used for this. So, a fabricator may use a vacuum lifting device for Lido for the task. This makes the work easier and safer than trying to pick it up by hand.
In light of what we have discussed in this article, would you say that having the proper equipment for Lido products makes sense? Many would say that it does. In fact, there are many inividuals that prefer to make their work easier by utilizing many pieces of equipment that we have mentioned in this article. If you do, you, like them, might also benefit from this information.
