WARNING
Risk of injury due to falling or tilting transport packaging!
Packages may have an offset centre of gravity. If incorrectly handled the
package could fall or tilt.
This could result in severe injury or death.
• Always observe markings and information regarding the centre of gravity
on the packages
• During transport with a crane always sling the package so that the crane
hook is directly above the centre of gravity
• Use caution when lifting a package, look to see if it begins to tip; if
necessary, lower the package and adjust the slinging
WARNING
Improper transport may result in goods in transit falling or tipping. This could
cause significant property damage.
• Upon delivery always proceed cautiously when unloading goods in
transit and while transporting in-plant, observe the notices and symbols
on the packaging.
• Use only the specified attachment points.
• Remove packaging materials only immediately before installation.
Items in transit on a pallet can be transported with a forklift or pallet truck if
the following conditions are met:
• The forklift or pallet truck must be rated for the weight of the item in
transit
• The item in transit must be securely fixed to the pallet
• To drive and operate industrial trucks with a driver's seat or driver's
platform the driver must be authorised in accordance with national
regulations
1. Position the forklift or pallet wagon so that the forks are between or
under the pallet beams.
2. Insert the forks far enough that they protrude from the opposite side.
3. The package being transported must be securely fixed.
4. Check to ensure that pallets with an offset centre of gravity cannot tip.
