Heavy units may be equipped with lifting lugs for transportation
by crane within the workshop or installation area. Before a crane
is used, check:
• The applicable weight certificate for the crane.
• The security of the lifting lugs.
Ensure that all available lifting lugs are used. Ensure the unit
remains under control during the operation to avoid damage to
the unit, equipment or personnel.
Heavy units may be t ransported using a fork-lift truck. Special
attention must then be paid to the position of the unit’s centre of
gravity. The units must be properly secured to the truck.
Initial preservation
When a system, a unit or a spare part has been delivered to the
customer, it may be subject to long-time storage prior to
installation and use. During this storage period, certain
specifications must be met.
The equipment must be preserved and stored in such a way that
it does not constitute any danger to health, environment or
personal injury.
Specific specifications are presented below.
→ For further information about storage, refer to page 12.
→ For further information about re-packing, refer to page 15.
→ For further information about temperature protection, refer to
page 17.
Preserving the original packing crate
1 The equipment must be stored in its original transportation
crate.
2 Ensure that the units are clearly separated in the shelves
and that each unit is easily identifiable.
3 The crate must not be used for any purpose for which it
was not intended (eg. work platform etc.).
4 The crates must not be placed on top of each other, unless
specific markings permit this.
5 The crates must not be placed directly on a dirt-floor.
6 Do not open the crate for inspection unless special
circumstances permit so.
- “Special circumstances” may be suspected damage to
the crate and its content, or inspections by civil
authorities.
