No more rolling stones!

Carting rocks around from one place to another can be risky business. And yet you need to get them from the source to the dealer and ultimately to the job site.

You pile them on a pallet, but how do you keep them from rolling around? How do you make sure they don't roll off the truck and smash onto a passing vehicle? How do you safely restrain them?

 

Hold your rocks with wire mesh.

Have peace of mind as you roll along. Be free from worry, knowing that your stones are securely wrapped in wire mesh. They will reach their destination without incident.
