Page 13: Lifting And Transport
Risk of injury due to the heavy weight of the equipment! FIMER usually stores and protects individual components by suitable means to make their transport and subsequent handling easier. Nonetheless, as a rule, it is necessary to turn to the experience of specialised staff to take charge of loading and unloading components. - Page 14 It is required to use one of the following lifting methods to move the equipment during installation or maintenance phases. ATTENTION – Pay attention to completely tight the thread of the handles or eye-bolts. Vertical lifting (handles) Horizontal lifting (handles) Vertical lifting (eyebolts and lifting balancer) Horizontal lifting (eyebolts and lifting balancer)
- Page 15 ATTENTION – Always consider the center of gravity of the enclosures while lifting. Center of gravity (power module) Center of gravity (wiring box) ATTENTION – In case of manual lifting it’s suggested to use a support plan (e.g. a table) to place the equipment during the lifiting operation, to allow the change of hands position.
