- Handling plywood of bundles of plywood requires a special thin fork blade. Blades used must be shorter than the width of the bundle. (i.e., not protrude beyond the width of bundles during any operation)
- Plywood shall be stowed in the warehouse to a height that is stable and safe to maintain.
- Units shall not exceed two heights on trailers, unless agreed to by the OPERATORS representative.
- Missing skids under plywood bundles shall be replaced with loose skids to enable fork blades to enter the bundle at discharge port.
- When other commodities are to be stowed adjacent to plywood, suitable protection should be used in between the commodities to avoid damage. Loose skids should follow cargo ashore at discharge port(s).
