Installation Guide

CLASSIC RIB

It is the responsibility of the installer to unload material from the delivery truck. The installer shall be responsible for

providing suitable equipment for unloading of material from the delivery.

After receiving material, check the condition of the material, and review the shipment against the shipping list to ensure all

materials are accounted for. If damages or shortages are discovered, it should be noted on the Bill of Lading at the time of

delivery. A claim should be made against the carrier as soon as possible. Metal Sales is not responsible for any damages or

shortages unless they are documented in writing and presented to Metal Sales within 48 hours.

Each bundle should be handled carefully to avoid being damaged. Care should be taken to prevent bending of the

panel or abrasion to nish. Whenever possible, the bundle should remain crated until it is located in its place of stor-

age. If bundles must be opened, we recommend you re-crate them before lifting. To avoid damage please lift the

bundle at its center of gravity.

Forklift - A forklift may be used for panels up to 20'-0" long. Please make sure the forks are at their maximum separation.

Do not transport open bundles. When transporting bundles across rough terrain, or over a longer distance, some means of

supporting the panel load must be used.

Crane - A crane should be used when lifting panels with lengths greater than 20'-0". Please be sure to utilize a spreader bar to

ensure the even distribution of the weight to the pick up points. As a rule when lifting panels, no more than

of the length of

the panel should be left unsupported. Never use wire rope because this will damage the panels.
