Customers often ask us about the delivery process of their steel building so we thought it might be helpful to provide a few tips for offloading a SteelMaster buildings.
Your SteelMaster structure will arrive on a flatbed truck that is approximately 80 feet long. The trailer is 53 feet long and holds between 7 to 12 buildings. There is no offloading equipment on the truck, so the buyer is responsible for offloading.
The truck driver will introduce himself and finalize paperwork and payments (if required), then provide you with a bill of lading and a construction manual.
An average building up to 30' wide x 30' long can be offloaded by 3 to 4 people in approximately 70 minutes or less.
The average weight of a single panel is approximately 40 pounds. The panel length is typically 36? to 120?. The single heaviest component will be your door header or door post, if included with kit.
If you have a forklift or other equipment available, offloading time will be significantly reduced. If you purchased a building that exceeds 5,000 pounds, it is recommended that you obtain equipment to make removing the pallets from the truck easier.
That’s all there is to it. Just get a few friends to help you out, and you will be ready to start building your SteelMaster before you know it!
