Maintenance Tips
- Inspect frame legs, crossbars, and welds regularly for cracks, bending, or structural fatigue.
- Ensure base stability and check for any uneven flooring that may affect load balance.
- Keep rubber padding, timber battens, or contact points in good condition and replace when worn or compressed.
- Clean frame surfaces from stone dust, slurry, and moisture to reduce corrosion and slipping risks.
- Verify all bolts, bracing, and connection points are tight and secure before loading slabs.
- Do not exceed rated capacity and distribute stone slabs evenly on both sides of the A-frame.
- Inspect protective coating (galvanizing or paint) and repair any exposed metal promptly.
- Ensure slabs are properly leaned and secured to prevent shifting or tipping during storage.
- Store in a dry, ventilated area when possible to extend service life.
- Perform routine inspections to maintain structural integrity and safe stone storage performance
