5 - TRANSPORTE Y MANIPULACIÓN
● 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 fork carriage, 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 or to the two grips screwed on
each crossbar.
Make sure that the unit is protected from contact with the
hooks to prevent damage to the housing.
The centre of gravity is not necessarily in the middle of the unit
and the forces applied to the slings are not always identical.
Please consult the weight and the centre of gravity of each
model stated in the following paragraph.
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.
Lifting grips
After the placing of the unit, it is recommended to remove the
grips, as they can be a hindrance for maintenance. Put the
grips back in case of unit transport. Each grip is fi xed to the
crossbar using two M10 screws.

5.3 Centre of gravity coordinates

Both the weight and the centre of gravity should be consulted
before the transport and handling of the unit.
