3.3. Transport
Correct equipment transport and storage are the first steps required for correct use and operation. Taking account of
the instructions given in section "3.2. Handling" and as a preventive measure, Ingeteam would advise working with
hauliers specialising in the carriage of special and/or fragile equipment.
All packaged equipment must be handled with tools that will not damage the packaging.
During transport and storage, the equipment should be protected against mechanical impact, vibrations, water projec-
tions (rain) and against any other product or circumstances that could damage the equipment or affect its performance.
Moving the equipment with a pallet jack
If a pallet jack is to be used to move various items of equipment at the same time, then at least the following instruc-
tions should be observed:
1.
Position the packaged equipment so that it is centred over the forks.
2.
Try to ensure that the equipment is positioned as close as possible to the connection between the fork and
the handle.
3.
En any event, observe the instructions provided in the pallet jack manual.
Moving the equipment with a fork-lift truck
If a fork-lift truck is to be used to move various items of equipment at the same time, then at least the following
instructions should be observed:
1.
Position the packaged equipment so that it is centred over the forks.
2.
Try to ensure that the equipment is positioned as close as possible to the connection between the fork and
the chassis.
3.
Ensure that the forks are perfectly level, to prevent the equipment from possibly being tipped off.
4.
En any event, observe the instructions provided in the fork-lift truck manual.
Once the equipment has been moved to the place of installation, it should be left in the packaging until it is ready to
be installed.
At that point, it can be moved vertically, or a short distance, without the packaging. The following point should be
observed.
Moving the equipment once the packaging has been removed
At least the following instructions should be observed:
1.
Use the side grips to grasp the equipment with both hands.
2.
Follow the ergonomic advice given for lifting heavy objects.
3.
Do not let go of the equipment until it is perfectly anchored in position or is firmly in place.
4.
Ask another person to direct the movements to be made.
3.4. Storage
If the equipment is not to be installed immediately after receipt, then the following points should be taken into
account in order to prevent deterioration:
•
The package should be stored in the position in which the box was received.
•
Keep the equipment free from dirt (dust, shavings, grease, etc.) and out of the reach of rodents.
•
Avoid contact with water jets, welding sparks, etc.
•
Protect the equipment with a breathable protective cover in order to prevent condensation caused by ambient
humidity.
•
The equipment should not be stored in ambient conditions other than those indicated in section "2.2.
Environmental characteristics".
•
It is extremely important to protect the equipment from contact with chemicals, which could cause corro-
sion, and also from saline environments.
