Identify the attachment points for lifting the gearbox, as shown in the drawings.
●
Prepare the gearbox for lifting by attaching straps, hooks, etc. to its attachment points, or alternatively
use a pallet for moving the load. When using a crane, first lift the gearbox vertically out of its packaging.
●
If using a fork lift or pallet truck, remove the packaging and insert the forks at the positions provided.
●
Lift the load very slowly and to a limited height above the ground, and check that it is stable.
●
Move the gearbox to the unloading area and lower it gently into position, taking care not to cause sudden
oscillations while moving it.
The following pages illustrate in detail the different lifting methods to be adopted for the gearbox series,
sizes and configurations described in this manual. The most suitable solution for the safe lifting and moving
of each product is shown.
