  1. Load drawer boxes.

      1. Drawers should be loaded flat (see table below for definition), with a blanket between the drawer and any material below.

Drawers in a Job Cart/Sled

Create a flat surface by laying similar size material together.  Lay a blanket on top of the cart/sled and lay the drawers flat on top of the blanket.

Drawers Hand-Loaded

If the installation is a multi-day install, bring drawer boxes separately on Day 2+, as needed.

  1. Secure materials, preferably using ratchet straps.  Ensure they are not moving or rubbing together during transit.

  2. Load glass materials.

    1. Assess the vehicle and ensure there is enough room for safe transport.

    2. If there is not, a second vehicle may be needed.

    3. Place glass between TFL parts from the job.  This can be in the job cart/sled, or directly in the van.  This will help protect the glass from breaking.

      1. If the glass is a larger size (ie. Countertop or panel), consider a second vehicle or ensure it is loaded in a location where it can not fall or have anything fall against it.

    4. Secure the glass and ensure it will not move or have anything fall against it.
