How To Load and Unload Windows on a Truck
Windows require to be handled with care because they can easily get damaged if mishandled. Below are some of the things we do to guarantee the safety of your windows during transport.
1. Load Windows Upright at a 45-Degree Angle
Windows shouldn’t be stacked flat during transport because they tend to break easily. When windows made of glass are resting on the truck bed, they’re easy to break from the vibration and pressure of bumps.
2. Use Layers of Sponge Between Windows or Stretch Foil
We use stretch foil when shipping single windows because they’re highly elastic and durable. The window is fully wrapped with stretch foil to protect it from any damage. However, sponges are ideal when shipping multiple windows. They’re placed in between before wrapping the bundle of windows to avoid ratting and bumping into each other.
3. Use Wooden Stillage
Wooden stillage offers added security when shipping windows. They provide a surface to lean and stack the windows. They also make it possible to strap and secure the windows for transport.
4. Use Non-slip Mats or Materials on the Truck Bed
The floors of trucks are slippery, which makes it easy for windows to slide. Therefore, using mats and other materials on the truck helps keep the windows in one position until they’re delivered.

How to Safely Transport Windows Safely
Shipping windows to a new construction site can be done through less than truckload (LTL) or full truckload (FTL). Less than truckload is when your windows are shipped together with loads owned by other people. That method is ideal for windows that aren’t made of glass and can be easily damaged. Less than a truckload is affordable but might take longer since the driver has to make other deliveries along the way. A full truckload is when a truck is fully dedicated to shipping your windows. This method is best for windows that can easily break and require to be handled with care. Despite the method being slightly expensive, it’s fast. Call Wide Load Shipping for a free quote.
