16 – Shipping and handling
I have already said something about the stacking order of your building panels in my previous post. Let me reiterate the importance of carefully considering this when you are ready to transport your panels to your building site. You will lose some of the advantages of prefabrication if you do not think this out carefully.
What I suggest that you do is think about the last place your panels will be sitting just before you install them. Work backwards from that all the way to your manufacturing and storage approach. For example if you will be moving your panels to the construction site on a truck or trailer and unloading all them before you install them then the relative order of the load on the truck needs to be different than it would if you were going to immediately install each panel as it is taken off of the truck. Again let me stress just how important it is that the next panel you want should be on the top of the pile rather than buried somewhere further down.
You may be able to transport or store your panels standing up on edge rather than stacked flat on top of each other. This can be a very significant advantage if you are able to use a crane to lift your panels into position. It becomes less important that your panels be in the correct order if you can pick a panel out of the middle of the stack. When installing wall panels with a crane it is also easier to lift them by the top edge rather than having them flat on a pile. Of course it should go without saying that the panels should be placed with the top edge up.
Having panel labels or numbers easily visible while they are stacked up can be useful. This is less important if you have stacked your panels in the exact correct order but it is still nice to know that the panel that you are about to move to its final position is exactly the one that you think it is. Of course if your panels get out of order for some reason it is much easier to find the panel you want if you can just look at the edge of the pile rather than having to move all the panels one at a time to find the one you want.
