Freight Preparation of Bundles and Lengths
Transporting long bundles is very common, particularly for builders, plumbers and other tradespeople. On a smaller scale, the regular householder might also occasionally need to figure out how to get their goods from A to B. They might just have bought new curtain rods from the local hardware store, or some long pieces of wood for a DIY project. Transporting long timber and similar isn’t necessarily difficult, but comes with its own unique set of challenges and considerations.
This page provides some guidelines on how to transport long timber, pipes and other lengthy items safely and with the least risk of damage to your goods.
