Transport

Rackham operates a dedicated fleet of vehicles, based at three factories in West Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Gloucestershire. These vehicles, which include rigid and articulated trucks, cover the whole mainland.

Handling
No special site access requirements are needed, however, because of the weight of the vehicles when fully loaded, roadways should preferably extend to the unloading point.

All delivery vehicles are equipped with hydraulic off-loading equipment, including finger grabs to keep the joists separated during lifting. Joists can be colour coded if requested.

Subsequent site handling of joists can be moved mechanically. Where Fork Lifts are used the forks should be at their widest setting. (Please also refer to our Beam & Block and Poly-Plus Health and Safety sheets).
