The transport of bricks in pack form can reduce handling time and costs. It also reduces damage to the bricks. The Building Research Station has developed a system for handling packs of about 50 bricks, steel-strapped, at all stages from the brickworks to the bricklayer on the building site, by barrow or crane. Many brickworks can now supply bricks in pack form, the simple handling equipment is available commercially, and several contractors have already adopted the system.
