Why are our longest standard radiators approx 1.43m long?

There are two main reasons why our longest radiators are approx 1.43 metres long. Firstly, as we sell our cast iron radiators all over the UK, Eire & Mainland Europe, in order to keep shipping costs to an absolute minimum we use a bespoke sized pallet, which is 0.8m x 1.5m in size. Anything larger incurs large surcharges and delivery prices will become too expensive. Secondly and just as important, is the actual weight of the radiator and how it is handled upon delivery.

Obviously cast iron radiators are heavy and with some of our assembled cast iron radiators weighing approx 140+kg, this needs to be considered.
