Delivery of roofing materials requires a competent approach to storage, warehousing and other stages of the logistics process. At first glance, it seems difficult, but if you have the skills and wholesale transportation of construction products, you can easily solve any customer’s problems. As an argument, let’s cite an example of the transportation of roofing materials that we carried out forBudstroy.
The goods were delivered to Kyiv from the German city of Munich. Our employees carefully worked out the entire route and decided to transport the products by road. The roofing materials were loaded into a truck and delivered to the Polish border, and from there they were transported to the Ukrainian capital.
The main task for us was to pack the products well so that they would arrive in complete safety. As mentioned above, this required the skills that our employees have. Thanks to the well-coordinated work of the team, we provided reliable packaging that allowed us to transport the roofing materials without damage. The client was satisfied, and we can confidently say that we have experience in such orders.
Features of transportation of roofing materials
When transporting roofing materials, it is important to take into account the properties of a particular cargo, as they determine the proper delivery and warehouse storage conditions. In particular:
- Rolls should only be transported in an upright position.
- The tiles and slates are delivered in pallets, with one wave stacked on top of the other.
- During delivery, it is necessary to protect the materials from sunlight (it is optimal to use a protective film on pallets).
- It is important to avoid strong cooling of materials, especially roofing felt or flexible bitumen roofing, as the frozen product can begin to crumble under the influence of low temperatures.
- For the transportation of most materials, covered modes of transport are used (the best option is trucks, which do not depend on the schedule and can move almost around the clock). The only exceptions are metal tiles and profiled sheets that are transported on open flatbed trucks.
