Maintenance Tips

• Inspect frame legs, crossbars, and welds regularly for cracks, bending, or structural fatigue.
• Ensure base stability and check for any uneven flooring that may affect load balance.
• Keep rubber padding, timber battens, or contact points in good condition and replace when worn or compressed.
• Clean frame surfaces from stone dust, slurry, and moisture to reduce corrosion and slipping risks.
• Verify all bolts, bracing, and connection points are tight and secure before loading slabs.
• Do not exceed rated capacity and distribute stone slabs evenly on both sides of the A-frame.
• Inspect protective coating (galvanizing or paint) and repair any exposed metal promptly.
• Ensure slabs are properly leaned and secured to prevent shifting or tipping during storage.
• Store in a dry, ventilated area when possible to extend service life.
• Perform routine inspections to maintain structural integrity and safe stone storage performance
