Secure Packaging for Global Transit

Funtek Steel A-Frame Crate

Reinforced Steel A-Frame Standard

To ensure zero transit damage for large-format slabs, Funtek utilizes engineered steel A-frames. Each frame secures up to 20 slabs, perfectly optimized for 20ft General Purpose ocean containers.

  • Heavy-duty steel construction avoids wood fumigation issues.
  • Customized tilt angle prevents micro-fractures during rough sea swells.
  • Designed for rapid forklift extraction at destination ports.

The Engineering Behind Sintered Stone Weight

The Physics of Density

Sintered stone density averages 2,450 kg/m³. The extreme compaction process grants exponentially higher flexural strength, allowing architects to specify 6mm ultra-thin profiles for facade cladding, effectively reducing dead-loads by up to 60% compared to marble.

Ocean Freight & Loading Standards

A standard 20ft GP container enforces a payload limit of 21,000 to 24,000 kg. Failing to calculate packaging tare weight (approx. 150kg per frame) often leads to port delays. Our calculator factors this in for accurate B2B planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.
Why choose sintered stone instead of natural marble for large projects?
Unlike natural marble, sintered stone is virtually non-porous and highly resistant to environmental stressors. It provides a 100% consistent aesthetic with zero risk of structural weathering or color fading, significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Q.
How much weight can a 12mm sintered stone kitchen countertop hold?
Due to the extreme pressure used during manufacturing, 12mm slabs have an incredibly high modulus of rupture. When properly supported by a standard cabinet substrate, it can easily hold static loads exceeding 300 lbs per square foot, perfectly accommodating heavy kitchen appliances.
Q.
Why do we need to calculate the A-frame crating weight?
In international B2B shipping, 20ft containers typically max out at a 21,000 kg payload. If you order 120 slabs of 12mm stone (approx 18,060 kg), you must also account for the 6 steel A-frames required to hold them (approx 900 kg). Ignoring tare weight leads to inaccurate logistics planning.
