[QUOTE="stuboy, post: 528955, member: 33489"] Now then chaps we had our first delivery of JA Solar 545W panels today from the usual shipper that the wholesaler uses. These panels are over 2.2x1.1 and come on over size pallets. So firstly the farmer turns up with his pallet forks on his front bucket mount. They were around 900 long, fine for a standard pallet but wouldn't go anywhere near all the way through the oversize pallet. so I ruled them out before we started. We were dead lucky that the driver had a tail lift and our panels were right at the back. His pallet truck JUST reach through width ways and we got them onto the floor. He then thought as space was limited he's just slide the pallet truck round and pick them up length ways, luckily i was watching and vetoed the idea just before he'd pumped it up enough for the front of the pallet truck to go thought the bottom panel, as these pallets are made of cheese! So just be aware when handling this new generation of super big panel, you need to be directing the off loading as even the drivers clearly are not used to moving them. The pallets are only strong enough to support the panels being lifted with forks that go all the way through, so if you haven't got a 1.1m forks on your pallet truck/ Fork lift you could land your self in a bit of a predicament! Nuff said :) Cheers Stuart [/QUOTE]
