Transport means Use adequately dimensioned transport means (lorry, crane, fork-lift) for transport and installation of the barrel press. The suspension must be designed for at least 750 kg (FP 1500) or 1000 kg (FP 3000). Machine centre of gravity The press ram must be in the bottom position (moment of tilt). The centre of gravity is then in the bottom half of the barrel press.
FP 3000 Transport damage If damage is determined after unloading when accepting the delivery, HSM and the forwarding company must be informed immediately. If necessary, an independent expert must be contacted immediately. Remove packing and transit clamps. Dispose of packing in an ecologically beneficially manner.
