5 - SHIPPING - DELIVERY - HANDLING

5.1 Shipping instructions

ƒ Our units must be shipped in their original packaging and in the position in which they will be used.
- Blocks must not be stacked.
- Transshipment is not permitted.
ƒ During shipping, the load must be lashed to the truck bed to prevent the unit from moving and being damaged.
- Lashing must follow accepted industry practice, using straps made from standardised synthetic fibres (EN12195-2), clearly
marked and labelled and in perfect condition.
- Leave a space of at least 100 mm between the 2 units.
- Use anti-slip blocks under the unit's feet.
- We recommend top-over lashing. The straps must be tensioned manually, enough to hold the equipment securely on the
truck bed without damaging.
Do not use mechanical implements such as levers, bars, etc., unless the tensioning device is specially designed for use
with such implements.

5.2 Container shipping

ƒ The container dimensions must be adapted to those of the equipment being shipped.
ƒ Slide the unit onto the container floor. When using a fork lift, place a spacer between the frame and the fork lift to prevent
damage to the unit's casing and accessories.
ƒ The straps are fed through the lifting lugs on the frame to remove the unit from the container:
- Remove the unit from the container by pulling the 2 straps.
ƒ Depending on the size and configuration, the units can be shipped in one or more blocks.
ƒ Units supplied assembled on a frame:
- The red painted steel plates and runners under the frame are used to remove the unit from the container and are removed
before installation on the site.
ƒ Do not lift the unit by its accessories.

5.3 Delivery

ƒ Upon delivery of the unit components, inspect the consignment in the presence of the driver. If any damage is observed, or
if the delivery is incomplete, indicate this in the usual way on the delivery note and confirm to the carrier by registered letter
within three days of the delivery date and send a copy to us.
WARNING: never use the terms "pending unwrapping" or "unit damaged, packaging intact", as these are not admissible for insur-
ance purposes.
For any other problem, your contact will be able to explain the relevant procedure.

5.4 Lifting instructions

ƒ All of our units are supplied with lifting lugs.
ƒ All lifting and handling operations must be carried out in accordance with the standards and regulations applicable to the
handling location and using standardised equipment.
ƒ When handling, use lifting straps with a sufficient lifting capacity. Do not use damaged straps. Use a lifting beam adapted to
the size of the unit to prevent the straps from exerting pressure on the unit, its accessories or the roof.
ƒ When handling with a pallet truck or fork lift, make sure the forks are long enough to avoid damaging the casing. The forks
must project beyond the other side of the block.
