Transporting and unloading the transport unit

Risk of property damage
If the panels are transported without transport blocks (fixing brackets) at the busbars,
parts of the switchgear may be damaged.
➭ Do not remove the transport blocks until right before assembling the busbars.
➭ Do not move the panels over a longer distance without transport blocks at the busbars.
Risk of injury due to transport unit falling down.
The transport unit can slip off the transport tackle due to the high position of the center
of gravity.
➭ Make sure that nobody is standing in the swinging area of lifted switchgear.
➭ Observe even weight distribution and the high center of gravity of the switchgear.
➭ Avoid heavy movement of the load.
➭ Secure ropes against slipping off at the fixing points.
The transport unit may be damaged by touching ropes or chains when lifted.
Under load, ropes and chains exert a force onto the walls of the panel and can damage
them.
➭ Do not use any ropes or chains for lifting the transport units if those are touching a panel.
➭ Use transport tackle / expander.
Damage to sensitive parts of the switchgear
By pushing the transport unit on the transport pallet, sensitive parts of the switchgear
such as gas pipes, bursting discs, shafts, etc. may be damaged.
➭ Push the transport unit only at the corners of the base frame.
➭ Move the transport unit as close as possible to the place of installation (switchgear room)
by means of a lifting truck or fork-lift truck.
To avoid damage and pollution, the transport unit should be transported as long as possible in
its original packing. The packed transport unit is lifted with the transport pallet
➭ Use transport tackle / expander to prevent the transport unit from being damaged by
the ropes.
➭ Sling the ropes around the ends of the transport pallet.
➭ Unload the transport unit and set it down as close to the place of installation as possible in
order to avoid unnecessary ways.
➭ Move the transport unit into the building, as far as possible on its transport pallet.
To keep the switchgear clean, remove only as little packing as necessary.
➭ Remove film only in the building, right before assembling the transport unit.
