binderholz Mass Timber Manual

Especially for visual Glulam GLT binderholz recommends to use a sledge to protect the visual sides. Packages are loaded on a 180mm (7.1’’) thick, 2.25m (7.4’) wide and 11.50m (37.7’) long wooden frame (“sledge”). The unloading can be done either by two forklifts or with a ramp and a winch. The whole load has a weight of max. 20t (44.100lb). An alternative option is the CLT BBS loading plate. Packages are loaded on a 60mm (2.4’’) thick, 2.25m (7.4’) wide and 10.75m (35.3’) long CLT panel. Before unloading prepare a ramp or platform that can properly support up to 20t (44.000 lbs) and positioned slightly lower then the container floor that the entire sledge or CLT BBS plate can slide onto. A appropriately sized forklift or winch can extract the load from the container.
