Breeze block stacking and handling - has strapped blocks arranged to form overhang for easy insertion of lifting forks

摘要

The method of handling breeze blocks having square holes through them includes forming a stack (1) and securing them with two straps (6) so that they can be lifted by the forks of a fork lift truck. The bricks are arranged differently from the conventional method for easier handling. The stack consists of three lines (3) of e.g. five blocks separated from each other by two lines of blocks (4,5), each line consisting of two rows of bricks (41,42,51,52) end to end. This arrangement gives an overhang at top and bottom and also a space each side of the middle row (43). The forks of the lifting device then fit easily into the spaces formed by the overhang.
