Our cargo transport units are designed with two "A-shaped" frames, provided by us (see Fig. 1 & 2). Fig. 3 illustrates recommendations for transportation only. Please follow these guidelines carefully to ensure safe handling during transit.

Extra-large slabs are heavy and may have sharp edges, so always wear protective gloves. Use single or double suction cups to protect both the slab and the operator. Wipe the slab surface to remove dust or moisture, then position the suction cups securely. For large slabs, use a full handling frame with four suction cups; for smaller slabs, two double suction cups are sufficient.
