Does Aloha have special handling requirements for shipments of glass or slabs like marble or granite?
Aloha does handle shipments of glass and slab stone. Glass and slab shipments are very fragile and in large quantities, are heavy, easy to tip, and very dangerous to handle. When glass or slab is shipped in a standard crate, we will only accept a maximum of 300 pounds per piece. Above 300#, each crate must have bracing or be on an A-frame. For crates weighing 300# – 1500#, the bracing or A-frame must have a base width that is at least 33% of the height. Between 1500# and 3000#, the base width must be 50% of the height. 3000# is the most weight on a single crate of glass or slab we will handle. We have a maximum released value of $.50 per pound for these shipments.
