All materials are packaged on heavy duty end gate pallets. Most stone is banded or wrapped for secure packaging. A full pallet can weigh 3,000 to 4,000+ pounds. Depending on overall size, local deliveries are either hand-unloaded, or a truck with a forklift is employed. For non local deliveries, stone is shipped via common carrier van type trucks or open deck tractor trailers. It is then the recipient’s responsibility to have a forklift on site to unload the materials from the truck.
