Chuck it. cut the slabs one after the next…moving the slabs straight over onto the pallet, stickering as you go all the way to the bottom…..get in the forklift drive the pallet undercover to dry. strap the pallet load if you want. Thats it, no rolling. no readjustment (less exposure to danger, OH&S) etc…..
