4.2 Packaging, handling, transport

shifting. Certain machine parts are actually disassembled before transport to facilitate handling or to
reduce the maximum dimensions of the machine. Thus the maximum height of the machine is reduced
less than 2.5 m and the machine can be transported in a standard truck or inside a container.
The following paragraphs also include the main information on how to handle the machinery; they make
reference to the procedures to adopt, the means used and safety measures.
