Transport With A Fork-Lift Truck; Transporting Using A Crane - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Operating Instructions Manual

3.3.4

Transport with a fork-lift truck

Use of non-approved fork-lift trucks
If the forks are too short, this can cause the transport unit/cabinet to tip over resulting in death,
serious injury, or damage to the cabinet.
The forks of the truck must protrude at the rear of the transport pallet. The floor panels of the
transport units will not support a load.
Only use fork-lift trucks approved for this purpose to transport the units.
When the transport units are transported or moved with a fork-lift truck, the force is absorbed
through the transport pallet.
Observe the following points for safe transport:
● Transport the transport unit/cabinet with the greatest care.
● Choose the lowest transport height possible. The pallet may not touch the ground. Always
transport the cabinet in an upright position.
● Avoid driving over bumps.
3.3.5

Transporting using a crane

Improper transport
If the transport unit is not properly transported with a crane, the transport unit/cabinet could
fall or tip over. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Make sure that you read the safety information about transportation and the information
provided on the transport unit (e.g. center of gravity specifications).
Standing under suspended loads
If the lifting gear or load suspension devices were to fail, the transport unit/cabinet could fall.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Do not stand underneath or near to a raised load.
