Advice for working with Maxfine

Share on

Maxfine opens new dimensions for contemporary architecture because it combines low thickness with large formats, guaranteeing high technical performances, a lower load on the floors, and an aesthetic quality never seen before. The slabs, which can be laid with a minimum joint, enhance the rooms with unique effects of visual continuity.

Handling

Handling and storage

Handling and storage

For the correct handling of the pallets, a fork lift truck must be used, at least 2.5 m long, with the forks positioned in the maximum width position. Under normal conditions, the forks are positioned in the middle of the long side of the pallet, as they must grip the whole depth of the pallet. To allow the extraction of the slabs easily and safely, it is recommended to position the pallets in a suitable areawhere the lift truck can be moved around all sides of the pallet.For manual handling and subsequent laying of the slabs, in order to guarantee the operators’ safety and the integrity of the slabs, it is strongly recommended to use a frame with suction cups, available upon request, particularly suitable for large dimension formats (e.g. 300x150 cm - 150x150 cm) whereas on smaller formats (e.g. 150x75 cm) two double suction cups are sufficient.

Instruments required
