Recycling & Scrap MetalEquipment Management4HighOwner$ implied
Large rolls of reclaimed turf are extremely heavy (hundreds of pounds), making manual handling, transportation, and resale physically demanding and inefficient.
No specialized equipment exists to efficiently handle, move, and load heavy turf rolls in a salvage warehouse setting; general material handling equipment is either too expensive or ill-suited for the irregular shape and weight.
