What is the proper way to handle and store a freight platform?

The proper way to handle and store a freight platform is to position it on edge and handle it from the ends. This method is advisable because it provides better balance and control when moving the platform. By lifting it from the ends while it is on edge, you reduce the risk of injury that can occur from awkward lifting positions. Additionally, this method helps prevent damage to the platform itself, as handling it from the center while flat can increase the likelihood of bending or warping.

When it comes to storage, placing the platform on edge also minimizes the amount of floor space it occupies, allowing for more efficient use of the storage area. Proper handling ensures safety and helps maintain the integrity of the freight platform over time.
