If it is lifted unevenly, the transport unit can fall over due to its high center of gravity.
If a transport unit falls down on a person, this can cause life-endangering injuries.
➭ Lift the transport unit slowly and evenly.
Same as for lifting with the crane, two lifting rods with a diameter of 30 mm are required.
➭ Push the lifting rods into the transport holes at the front and at the rear.
➭ Support the hydraulic or lifting jacks with robust and stable platforms so that they will reach
the bars in lowered condition.
➭ Lift the transport unit carefully.
A transport unit standing on roller pads can only be moved straight ahead.
➭ To change the direction, the position of the roller pads must be changed.
➭ Prepare four roller pads (reinforced rollers).
➭ Lift the transport unit.
➭ Place the roller pads in position at the external corners of the base frame under the vertical
frame supports.
➭ Lower the transport unit slowly and evenly onto the roller pads.
➭ Prepare two tubes with a diameter of approx. 30 mm.
➭ Lift the transport unit.
➭ Lay the tubes crosswise under the base frame of the transport unit.
➭ Lower the transport unit slowly and evenly onto the tubes.

Setting down the transport units at the place of installation

Transport units falling down.
The transport units can slip off due to mistakes during transport or while unloading from
the roller pads, rollers or tubes. Can cause death, serious injury, or damage the transport
units.
➭ Observe the dimensions and weights of the transport unit (delivery note).
➭ Please ensure that the transport gear used meets the requirements as regards construction
and load-bearing capacity.
➭ Observe the center of gravity of the transport units.
➭ Observe the instructions on the packing.
➭ Provide protection equipment to prevent damages to sensitive switchgear components.
➭ When moving the transport unit on the floor opening, take care that the roller pads / tubes
are always touching the foundation completely.
➭ Move the transport unit only straight ahead on roller pads, tubes or rollers. To change the
direction, change the position of the roller pads, tubes or rollers.
➭ While moving the transport unit, apply force only at floor level at the corners of the base
frame.
Damage to the transport units possible.
Shifting the transport unit without roller pads, tubes or rollers is done using hydraulic
equipment or lifting jacks.
➭ Apply auxiliary means at floor level and only at the base frame of the transport unit.
➭ Place wooden boards under the points where auxiliary means are applied.
