RANSPORT AND HANDLING

Transport

The unit must be handled with care to avoid transport damage. Thus
we recommend:
- Do not dispose of the transport supports or the packaging materials
until the unit is in its fi nal location.
- For transport in a container, one must be selected that has an easy
load and unload to the installation location.

Discharging of the unit

The unit can be discharged using:
- Forklift truck.
- Crane with a rocker arm and cloth slings.
Any handling of the unit by other means or by gripping points different
from those described here may be dangerous for both the unit and
the personnel who are carrying out the discharging or transport work.
Always check the weight of the set and verify that the discharging
method used is approved for handling that weight.
Note: please see the weight and the gravity centre coordinates
of each model stated in the following section.
- Discharge via forklift truck:
The unit is designed to be transported safely by using a forklift truck.
The forks of the forklift truck must come in on the side of the unit,
ensuring that the centre of gravity of the unit remains within the forks,
because a misbalance in the transport may cause the unit to turn
over and fall from the forklift truck.
The recommended length for the forks will be bigger than the unit
width, so that the entire weight-bearing structure can be supported
on the forklift truck. This also prevents the possible introduction
of the truck's fork into functional parts of the unit that may cause
damage to the unit.
The standards and recommendations of the forklift truck must also
be respected with regards to the maximum load, inclination of the
panel, elevation of the load for transport, and, in particular, the
maximum speed.
- Discharge via crane:
A rocker arm, as well as approved cloth slings, both suitable for the
dimensions and weight of the unit, must be used in order to carry out
the work safely and without causing damage to the units or to workers.
These slings will be hooked
to the two mounting holes
located on each crossbar. Make
sure that the unit is protected
from contact with the hooks to
prevent damage to the housing.
The unit must be lifted and fi xed with care, with maximum
inclination of 15º, since it could harm its operation. Do not
raise by points outside of those specifi ed here.

Placement on site
Once the unit is discharged, it must be freed from the transport supports
so that the inserts available for the silent-blocks can be accessed. Each
support is fi xed to the crossbar using 2 M4 screws.
M4 screws for fi xing the support
