Maintenance Tips
- Inspect frame, welds, and uprights regularly for cracks, bending, or structural fatigue.
- Check cross braces, joints, and connection points to ensure all bolts and fasteners are tight.
- Ensure rubber padding/contact strips are intact, clean, and replace when worn to protect slabs.
- Keep frame surfaces free from stone dust, slurry, and debris to prevent scratching and corrosion.
- Verify base stability and ground contact points are level and secure before loading.
- Never exceed the rated load capacity (model-dependent, heavy-duty slab storage use) and distribute slabs evenly.
- Inspect for frame misalignment after transport, impact, or heavy loading.
- Lubricate any adjustable or removable fittings lightly if applicable, avoiding contamination of contact surfaces.
- Store in a dry, covered area to prevent rust and extend service life.
- Remove from service immediately if structural deformation, weld failure, or instability is detected.
