Truck transport and lifting

Loading and unloading the truck

To load and unload the truck, use a loading
bridge or a lift (with a slope and structural
strength compatible with the performance
and weight of the truck as stated by the
manufacturer, and that is suitably positioned
and anchored). See the relevant section.
Alternatively, a crane or a bridge crane may
be used.
The truck must be suitably protected from the
effects of the weather during transport and
storage.
Lifting with a crane or a bridge crane
CAUTION
Always switch off the ignition and disconnect the
battery.
Never tie down or sling the truck by the tiller or other
points not designed for this.
– Thread the rope sling through the special
eyelet on the mast (designed for lifting the
truck with its battery). The lifting capacity
of the hook and the rope sling must be
sufficient to bear the weight of the truck
(with its battery). The position is indicated
by a hook symbol
DANGER
Use a crane with a suitable lifting capacity for the
weight of the truck, which is indicated on its data
plate. Also take into account the weight of the
battery fitted (if applicable), referring to the relevant
identification plate. Lifting operations must be
performed by qualified personnel. DO NOT stand
within the crane's radius of action or near the truck.
Do not stand in the danger area below suspended
loads. Use NON-METALLIC slings. Use safety
hooks. Make sure that the lifting capacity of the
slings is suitable for the weight of the truck with its
battery.
DANGER
The rope slings should have a suitable length so
as to not graze the casings or any additional equip-
ment during lifting. Use a lifting beam if necessary.
The rope slings must be pulled vertically.
