(updated 09/07/19) Maximum Dock Load LimitA 'Maximum Load Limit 5 Tons' sign has been placed on the dock. Your directors felt this was necessary in order to extend the life of our aging dock. If you are having anything exceeding that load limit delivered, then alternate plans will have to be made. Espanola Home Hardware have agreed to comply with the new weight restriction.
