Stacking Slates flat on a pallet

[Hungarian]

Hi Gents,

I've got slates for several 10' tables leaning on a wall in my garage. I need to empty my garage to insulate the walls and remodel. Plus, I'm tired of them taking up space. I'm wondering if it's okay to stack them flat on a beefy pallet that I will make. I'm going to need to move them a few times in the near future. They will be placed on a heavy duty pallet rack on the bottom shelve that can handle the weight I would use a small fork truck to load them onto a trailer and then lift them onto the pallet rack. Can the slates crack easier from bouncing during transport? Should I use a few ratchet straps to hold them tight to the pallet?

Any input?

Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

I'm sure they'd be fine. If I was stacking them, I'd put wood slats cut the same thickness as the slate liners to put under the slates where there is no support, if storing them for a while. Just my $0.02.

Most brazilian slate mfg ship them flat 6 to 8 sets high…i don’t see any problems as long as your skid is flat to begin with

Thanks, I was over thinking it.

I stack them flat on pallets in my shop. No issues.

Flat against each other is completely safe as long as nothing is between them. I've found slates to be pretty damn durable if shown even an ounce of care
