Risk of serious injury posed by heavy loads when using cranes for
transportation
Transporting heavy devices or components with a crane may result in serious impact and
crush injuries if the loads start moving in an uncontrolled manner.
 Loads may only be transported with a crane by a duly qualified person.
 Markings and information about the center of gravity of the load (if applicable) must be
observed.
 Loads may only be moved under supervision.
Risk of serious injury in the event that load handling attachments break while holding a
suspended load
Heavy loads picked up or transported with hoisting and slinging gear may result in serious
impact and crush injuries if the load handling attachments fail.
 Only fasten the device at the positions intended for the transport.
 The load-bearing capacity of the appropriate hoisting equipment must correspond at
least to the weight of the load to be transported.
 Always stand clear of suspended loads.
 Ensure that no person is within the danger zone.
A mobile workshop crane is suitable for use as hoisting equipment. A pallet jack or forklift is
also suitable for intraplant transportation.
The following are adequate for use as slings:
▪ Ropes
▪ Belts
▪ Chains
The hoisting equipment and slings must meet the following criteria:
▪ The load capacity must be sufficient for the gas pressure regulator's weight.
▪ The hoisting height is adequate for the mounting position at the installation site.
Make sure that the following requirements are met before transportation:
▪ You have seen and taken into account all instructions on the packaging
regarding the orientation of the packed device, the center of gravity, and
attachment points.
▪ The transport route is clear of obstacles and other barriers, and there is enough space
available for the dimensions of the packed device and the handling equipment. Make
sure to measure all of the package's dimensions!
▪ The transport route will be able to handle the load exerted by the total weight of the
handling equipment and the load being transported.
▪ There is enough space for unpacking and installing the device at the installation loca-
tion.
