7.3 Magnet Transport
Magnets are highly sensitive and very heavy structures filled with cryogenic liquids and
gases. They may only be transported when they are not at magnetic field and with special
transport devices and in no case may they be subject to high acceleration or jolts. All
cryogenic gas and liquid openings must be sealed during transportation with magnet specific
pressure valves. Only companies qualified to carry out specialized forms of transportation
may be used and the Handling Instructions specified by Bruker are to be followed.
7.3.1 Transport method and limitations
The different transport sections must be considered separately when transporting the
magnet.
Long-distance transport can take place by air and/or exclusively on tractors of a truck fitted
with pneumatic shock absorber systems. The tractors of trucks fitted with pneumatic shock
absorber systems must meet the specifications of IEC standard 60721. Transport in parts of
the truck that are connected to the front axle via hitchs is not possible.
- Other transport methods, particularly rail, is prohibited.
- The magnet must be placed on the tractor such that the magnet axes is perpendicular to
the direction of travel.
Transport over short distances is divided into:
• Reloading between different transport methods may only take place with a suitable crane.
Fork-lift trucks and other transport methods are not allowed.
• The magnet may only be lifted with hangers for heavy loads that are long enough for
strong sideways forces not to have any impact on the crane hooks. Alternatively, a special
heavy load frame can be used to lift the magnet.
• Moving on tank steel rollers or air pads within a building.
