About Handling Vadara
Although Vadara 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 Vadara 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 Vadara material.
What is Material Handling?
When people think of material handling for Vadara, different things might come to mind. Someone might think of unloading a truck that has Vadara products on it. Someone else might have in mind the thought of lifting Vadara slabs onto a fixture for work. And still others may see in their mind's eye a storage rack with slabs of Vadara loaded on it. And in fact, all of these are actually examples of material handling.
Storage Equipment for Vadara
Slabs in fabrication shops can sometimes sit for a period of time before they are used for creating a surface. That is where the storage aspect of material handling comes in. Vadara slabs need to be kept somewhere when they are not being used. Fabricators make use of a tall post Vadara slab rack to keep the slabs in until they are ready to use them.
Vadara Transport Products
In a fabrication shop, slabs get moved from one location to another regularly. If workers were only able to carry Vadara 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 Vadara are common, a short double side Vadara cart or other product might be beneficial to have in the shop.
Vadara Loading Equipment
Loading and uloading Vadara 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; Vadara 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 wide grip Vadara lifter for the task. This makes the work easier and safer than trying to pick it up by hand.
In conclusion, having the proper material handling equipment for managing Vadara products is not really all that different from what you would need to handle natural stone surfaces. Like any engineered quartz, working with Vadara takes various products that are designed to lift, transport, and load large slabs of product.
