Monolith Handling and Storage Precautions<\/h1><\/div>

Handling<\/h2><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
    \n
  1. These ceramic monoliths are very heavy. Each skid will have approximately 2000 lbs. and for transportation stability purposes most skids will be banded together one on top of another.<\/li>\n
  2. Ceramics by nature have extremely high compression strengths, therefore stacking heights are limited by local regulations. Lexco suggests no more than 4 skids high. On the other hand, ceramics can be very brittle. Avoid piercing any pallet with tow motor forks, backing into skids with vehicles, or dropping material.<\/li>\n
  3. Monolith can have extremely sharp edges and gloves should be worn while handling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>

    Storage<\/h2><\/div>

    Storage indoors in a dry, environmentally controlled, facility is the preferred method of storage for all
    \ntypes of media.<\/p>\n

    If that option is unavailable and an outdoor space must be utilized, Lexco suggests several
    \ntypes of precautions be taken under consideration<\/p>\n

    1. Our media, blocks and saddles alike, should be protected from freezing.<\/p>\n

    2. Rainwater will deteriorate packaging causing weakness or failure and creates wet cardboard making unpacking more difficult.<\/p>\n

    3. Protect from sunlight as packages are not UV protected.<\/p>\n

    \u2022 Heat shrink packaging for monolith could deteriorate allowing blocks to shift or fall
    \nduring lifting or transport.
    \n\u2022 Polymeric bulk bags could fail when lifting causing a hazard to any nearby personnel and
    \nwill severely damage material.
    \n\u2022 Significant UV damage occurs in little as one weeks\u2019 time when left unprotected.<\/p>\n

    4. Do not remove products from pallets.<\/p>\n

    5. All products should be placed on pavement as soft ground could cause heavy pallets to shift or
    \nsink.<\/p>\n

    6. Avoid stacking materials, particularly Polymeric bulk bags, as material below could be crushed.
    \nPallet weights can exceed one ton each.<\/p>\n<\/div>
